Hi @Eduardo75,

 

I'm not sure how you are achieving the initial delay of enabling notification, however you can achieve what you need using the Automation under Smart actions.

 

At a very high level I use 2 automation routines as follows:

•  first automation is triggered by the S200B (which is inside the house) and sounds a low volume alert (on the hub) for 60 seconds before enabling a second automation which enables the "alarm" automation. This is just to allow let you know the Alarm is activated and give you time to leave the house.
• upon re-entry the second automation, i.e. "alarm", sounds  a low volume alert for 20 seconds on the hub before sending a custom notification and also sounding the alarm (via the hub). If the S200B is double tapped before 30 seconds then this automation is disabled therefore killing the automation before the alarm/notification is activated.
• The third automation just disables the "Alarm" automation when the S200B is double tapped.

 

This is very high level but hopefully gives you some ideas, I can provide more info/detail if you need, if so it would help if you provide  more info on what you have defined and specifically trying to achieve.

 

 

 

  Hello @Rbuck,

Sorry as I'm not an English native speaker but what you are writing is the exact thing I want to achieve.

 

I have a automation that gives me 5 seconds before arming the alarm. I would like the same automation that you are using.

Can you explain how you put your 2nd and 3rd to wordk?

Again, exactly what I'm looking for.

Hi  @Eduardo75 

 

I will come back to you with some further details. Sorry if you saw my original post, the solution was not quite right, I rushed my response and have removed my previous response to ensure you did not waste time. I am travelling today so give me a day or so to come back...

 

  @Rbuck 

 

Thanks for the update.

 

I was reading your deleted post anf thought, ok this is going to be a thing to get it to work. 

 

I will wait for you other response!

Thanks for taking te time.

Hi  @Eduardo75 

 

Sorry that this is a bit complex to set up but provides an almost professional like Alarm set-up with the following key features:

• Sounds an alert for 60 secounds when Alarm is turned on to notify and give time to exit house before the alarm is alarmed
• Sounds an alert upon entry to the house to remind to turn alarm off before siren rings
• Sounds alarm and sends notification when alarm is triggered 
• Can be turned on/off via s200b button or Tapo app shortcut/widget
• Will reset itself after triggering in case intruders return
• Can be easily customised to add other activity upon alarm being turn on (I.e. turning off devices), or alarm activating (I.e. i turn on a p100 plug connected to external siren).

 

The following is a summary of the Shortcuts and Automations to be created:

1. An indicator to track if the Entry has been triggered. This is managed by a dummy automation called "Alarm Entry triggered?" and is used to stop the alarm automation restarting every time movement is sensored.

2. An automation called “Turn on the Alarm” to trigger the shortcut to turn on the Alarm when the S200B is pressed

3. A shortcut of actions which turn on the alarm called “Alarm on Shortcut” – these are put into a shortcut so it can be executed by the above automation or from running the shortcut from the app or a widget.

4. An automation which is enabled once the Alarm is enabled which will sound an entry alert once triggered called “Alarm” to remind you to turn alarm off and if you don't then sounds the Alarm and sends a notification.

5. An automation called “Turn off the Alarm” to trigger the shortcut to turn off the Alarm when the S200B is double pressed

6. A shortcut of actions which turn off the alarm called “Alarm off Shortcut” – these are put into a shortcut so it can be executed by the above automation or from running the shortcut from the app or a widget.

 

 

Automation details: - these need to be created in the following order as the ones being called need to go first:

1. “Alarm Entry triggered?” (for point 1 above):

• Create the indicator to track if entry has been triggered:
• First of all, you actually can’t create an automation which does nothing, (and holds its state enabled/disabled), so you need to create a dummy automation which just always stays off and then the indicator automation.
• Create a new Dummy automation which just stays off and does nothing.
  • Name “Dummy Automation for variables"
    • When: 12:00pm Sunday (this value does not matter … just pick something)
    • Then: Turn off Automation – “Dummy Automation for variables” – yes this one
  • The above needs to be created in 2 steps as you can’t set the “Then” condition above until it’s named and saved. So first create it with a random “Then” action, i.e. a notification. Once saved, go back and edit the automation to replace the notification action with a Disable automation action.
• Now create "Alarm Entry triggered?" indicator:
  • Name “Alarm Entry triggered?" – note I add the ? to remind me this automation does nothing but hold information that the entry has been triggered and then referenced to ensure the alarm automation is not retriggered over and over.
  • Effective time: – always
  • When: 12:00pm Sunday (this value does not matter … just pick something)
  • If: “Dummy Automation for variables” is enabled
  • Then: Turn on Automation – “Dummy Automation for variables”
  • Basically this automation will never do anything – but it can be enabled or disabled and will maintain that state

2. “Alarm” automation – (for point 4 above):

• Create a new automation called “Alarm"
• Add triggers of “When” the T100/T110 sensors sensor movement/open
• Add a "When" of when “Alarm Entry triggered?” is disabled
• Add an “Action” of ring Hub (with an appropriate sound to let you know the alarm is on and remind you to disable it). I use the “Alarm 4” sound at sound level 5 for my automation. Set the duration of this ring to 20 seconds to allow time to turn off the alarm by Double tapping the S200B or via the shortcut on the app
• Add an “Action” to enable the “Alarm entry triggered?” automation - this will stop the automation restarting each time the sensors detect movement.
• Add a “Delay” action for 20 seconds (or the same as above action)
• Add an action to send you a notification to say “Alarm has been triggered” 
• Add an “Action” of ring Hub (A loud siren to scare off the intruders)”. I use the “Alarm 2” sound at sound level 10 for my automation. Set the duration of this ring to 10 minutes
• Add a “Delay” action for 10 minutes (or the same as above action) 
• Add an “Action” to disable the “Alarm entry triggered?” automation - this will re-enable the alarm if intruders return (or if they hide in a room until the alarm stops ringing)

3. “Alarm on Shortcut” – (for point 3 above):

• Create a new shortcut called “Alarm on Shortcut”
• Add an “Action” of ring Hub (with an appropriate sound to let you know the alarm is on and it is time to leave the house). I use the dripping tap sound at sound level 5 for my automation. Set the duration of this ring to 60 seconds to allow time to exist the house, (it could be whatever suits)
• Add a “Delay” action for 60 seconds (or the same as above if you used a different exit time)
• Add an “Action” to disable the “Alarm Entry triggered?” automation
• Add an “Action” to enable the “Alarm” automation
• Add an action to send you a notification to say “Alarm has been turned on” – optional… just to let you know.

4. “Turn on Alarm” Automation – (for point 2 above):

• Create a new automation called “Turn on Alarm”
• Add a trigger of “When” the S200B button is single pressed
• Add an action of “Then” execute the “Alarm on shortcut”

5. “Alarm off shortcut” – (for point 6 above):

• Create a new shortcut called “Alarm off Shortcut”
• Add an “Action” to disable the “Alarm” automation
• Add an “Action” to disable the “Alarm entry triggered?” automation
• Add an “Action” to silence the Hub
• Add an action to send you a notification to say “Alarm has been turned off” – this is optional… just to let you know.

6. “Turn off Alarm” Automation – (for point 5 above):

• Create a new automation called “Turn off Alarm”
• Add a trigger of “When” the S200B button is single double pressed
• Add an action of “Then” execute the “Alarm off shortcut”

 

Other notes: the reason for having a shortcut and automation combination to turn the alarm on/off is for simplicity of use. Using a shortcut in the app or a widget is easier than turning enabling/disabling an automation. If you don't like this extra complexity then you can add the shortcut actions into the respective automation and remove the Shortcuts from above.

 

Note that I generate all notifications via the automation and not directly from the devices, however you could add enabling/disabling the device notifications as well if you like.

 

Note that I have written the above as a "simpler" version of my own set-up but have not specifically tested the above as i am away from home at the moment, hopefully there are no problems but happy to help solve any problems or answer any questions if needed. 

 

Sorry, this is a little more complex than I thought but should work like a professional Alarm system. 

 

Let me know how it goes. Thx

  @Rbuck Thank you fot taking the time to explain.

 

First I'm going on vacation and when I'm back I will try to activate everything.

It won't be easy, as I'm no tech guy .

 

Greetings

No probs.. I'm also on vacation..
