The reason I would like to send notification about who is turning alarm off, is to be sure that no one is turning it off with a mistake if we get a real burglar entering… So when we are away at holiday, and alarms turn off - nice to also know if f.ex family was turning alarm off with their app… Who turned it off, and using what device… Just that alarm is turned off does not tell me much when away… Many users in this home…
Nice suggestion !! For turning alarm on/off we mostly use app and surveillance mode switch, but I also have a «stupid» rfid keypad with Fibaro Smart Implant…
So I will try both suggested solutions:
Make an virtual alarm off/on button for each user, which then can send notification about who has changed alarm state.
Make a flow WHEN someone comes home THEN send notification «user» is home
(and for this I will use phone connected to wifi recognition)
Thanks guys ! I have some more ideas to get through this maze!
I’m not getting Heimdall functional while missing the ‘set surveillance mode’ in my flow settings. Unpossible to add in the ‘than’ section. Or am I missing something?
That’s not right. If you ad the „Suveillance Mode Button“, as @DaneedeKruyff wrote, you are able to select “Surveillance → Set Surveillance Mode → Enabled / Disabled / Partially Enabled” in the “Then” card.
Thanks for the support!
It works again. Homey said the open Sensors after the countdown. Somehow the following option changed. Now I set it back to activated, so it works…
I’ve started to implement Heimdall at home as an alarm, and I was thinking about what to do when/if the alarm is triggered.
One thing I’d like to do is disable the lights in the house (controlled by a number of Fibaro Dimmer 2), so that the thieves can’t turn on the lights in the house.
But I can’t figure out how to do that.
No, its not possible to disable them if you have also local control of fibaro devices. What you can do, is to build a flow that will turn them off immediately if they are switched on only when the alarm will be triggered.
Interesting choice. When the alarm triggers I turn on all lights inside and outside the house to a bright red color, open up the curtains and sound the sirens. This way thieves are in a true spotlight and definitely do not want to stick around. There is a reason why thieves try to break in into houses with poor lighting, if anything you’d make it more inviting for them to continue doing business…
@Hannes85 (and others ) Did you know there is an app now, Zone Memory created by @Shakesbeard , that you can use to easily save the state of lights and retrieve it to recreate that state with one flowcard:
No functional changes, just keeping up-to-date with Athom.
*This update was published earlier, I no longer have control over when a new version is actually published unfortunately so announcing it is not in sync anymore
Hello @DaneedeKruyff, with the flows I would like to be notified when the alarm system is activated when a window is open. The motion sensors do not have to be reported. How can I exclude the motion sensors from the notification?
