I believe that's more of a question for Benjamin (the developer of the Switchboard plugin).
It is being maintained, but I rarely am stressing the system anymore. I keep thinking about cleaning the code up, but I haven't found any bugs that might help encourage me to do so.
We're reached a place where the Home Automation at the house is "good enough", and I rarely get any feedback, comments, suggestions in the forums, so really the best way to reach me is via email (benjamin at schollnick dot net).
First, from the picture, you have "Only on Open", and "Only on Close" turned on. Those two chooses are exclusive. I'll have to look into adding that into the configuration file so that Indigo will prevent that. (See a bug report! That's the first one in two years!)
Only on Open, means that the trigger is only going to be seen by indigo on an "Open". Same with Close.
If you want both Open & closes to trigger, then turn both of those off.
But it sounds like you want to trigger on the Monitored group with the "Devices Trigger" trigger. When you have a monitored group, if you have *ANY* devices shown as Open, then "Devices Triggered" will be True.
It's a simple way to ensure that all the Doors / Windows, etc, are closed.
And now that I've posted to this forum, I'll be email notified. So feel free to let me know if this did or didn't help.
