A reminder when the garage stays open

It happens more often than I would like: the garage door stays open for hours because nobody thought about it again.

Now our house sends me a message on my phone once the door has been open for more than an hour. The message includes a button, so I can close the door straight from the notification.

No app to open, no dashboard to search. One tap and the thing is dealt with.
