actually that's very interesting... Behaviour studies would tell you black on white that the pilot wil in fact start ignoring the messages in the long last and eventually will crash!
And because of that, no pilot would even want such a system in his airplane at all (even if some of those messages where legit) because it is not accurate. And if something isn't accurate it isn't working.
Anyways, to build further on that: the 'dumb' pilots will constantly complain that the system doesn't work and come to a forum each time and again to complain about it. Resulting in annoying helpers on those forums because they need to explain again and again why it doesn't work, while some technicians who implemented the system thought it would be "better than nothing", but technicians aren't the average people...
AKA: make whatever you want, but people on support forums who also know how such things works are very annoyed by the fact that the makers of those things don't explain the precautions, limits, etc. It's the helpers on forums that get to clean up the mess, again and again.

I always saw a "use" for it, but that use was not to notify me for "open/closed windows"... and let thazt just be the name people give to these things.... So in other words... no

May I also note that such notifiers don't work since some years now! And nobody, not a single developper, has ever created a notifier since then simply because they do not work and are useless. I don't see why all of a sudden they will be created now....
But if people so desperatly want something which doesn't work, they should reasearch it and create it themselfs (and see why it doesn't work), because as said: no right minded developper would make it (welll... that is, unless they want to proof me wrong for the sake of it
)
