Delay is disarming alarm #2
Delay is disarming alarm #2
Hi,
I made alarm automation with @Rbuck s instructions.

Is it possible to add to this automation a feature that if during the entry delay, any of the motion sensors are triggered, alarm is instant overriding the delay?
- I expect you include all motion sensors in the "Alarm" autoimation in case the intruder comes through a window. So I assume you want to do this is because you can get to the "Alarm off button" once you open the door and not pass any motion sensors and you don't want to give the intruder 20 seconds before sounding the alarm... Anyway, it is possible, but not sure the effort is worth it. You can always reduce the 20 seconds warning sound.. Anywayy if you really want to do that refer below:
- You can't do that within the "Alarm" Automation routine but you could create another automation to do that which is enabled when the "Alarm entry is triggered" as follows:
- Create a new Automation - called "Instant siren apon movement" or what makes sense to you.
- this automation will have a "When" of the motion sensors detecting motion"
- The "if" will "Alarm has been triggered" automation is enabled
- The action will be to ring the Hub for up to 10 mins
- This will only execute the above action after the "Alarm" automation enables "Alarm Entry Triggered" which is as soon as it is triggered.
- However you will need to enable/disable it when the alarm is turned on/off or else the hub will just keep rining for 10 minutes even if the alarm is diabled. To do this add the "enable" and disable this automation actions to the Alarm On/Off shortcuts.
- One more thing... This will ring the hub and then the "Alarm" automation will also try to ring the Hub. It should not be a problem but gven the issue we found with the 2 hub rings overlapping each other that might be a problem... I can work around it if it does but don't want to add extra actions unless we need to..."
- Create a new Automation - called "Instant siren apon movement" or what makes sense to you.
Is there a way to add that if someone triggers only movement sensor, and not triggering entry delay via door, that alarm is instant?
Now it will start normal entry delay.
Thanks.
