2 different alarme modes

[frastr669 6]

Hello .. can anyone help me to setup 2 different alarm modes.

I don´t want to use the motion sensors during the night when we are home. Like a Night mode

But i want to use both doors and motion when i am away from my house

I have that situation.

But.. I know it can be a easier then how I did it, but it works for now.

 

I have a block scene for only arming the door/window sensors: I arm all the door sensors in once and the window sensors in once. That are the "Device Groups".

and:

I have a block scene for arming every sensor: I arm the whole room in once.

I have a minimote to start the scenes (button 1 to arm whole house, button 2 to arm only door/window sensors and button 3 to disarm the house).

 

Then I also have a scene which is triggered by a variable and armed state of the sensors. It will turn on red for one second when the house is fully armed. Purple when the door/window sensors are armed and when all sensors are disarmed, then turn on green for a second.

 

Let me know if this helps you!

I will give it a try.. need something simple. that my family really can use also

What about like I do, using block scenes;

 

A schedule that arms the alarm on all doors, windows and garage every night and disarm it every morning. This also sets a global variable that defines, AutoArm, ManualArm, or disarmed.

 

Another set of scenes are setup as a primary arming scene when leaving the house. This scene arms all sensors and will set the global variable to ManualArm - as well as turning all lights in the house off.

 

The Schedule alarm will not arm nor disarm the alarm if the global variable is set to ManualArm. This prevents the alarm from disarming by schedule if you are on holiday for multiple days.

 

When the alarm is disarmed by schedule or a separate disarm scene, the global variable is set to disarmed.

 

A scene that are checking if any sensor is armed, it will switch on a LED that indicates that the alarm is armed or of if not.

 

If the front door is armed when entering an LED strip will warn you that you would have to turn disarm within a set delay.

 

This works in the background, and is easy for my whole family to get along with

frastr669, I'm curious how your alarm setup is. Or maybe you didn't had time to implement it?

I now have a functioning alarmsystem with turning off light. How is it going at your place, frastr669 ?

[frastr669 6]

Not working. Can you give me some advice.

[Cafun 13]

Why is it not working? What do you have so far?

 

My system is the same as I mentioned earlier, but I now have also a Virtual Device which turns off my lights.

So I have two scene's to arm my alarm. One for only door and window sensors and one for door/window sensors and my motion sensors. If my variable AlarmState == Armed then it will push a button of a VD. So I only have to edit one VD if my lights change.
