Scene not triggered

[Ole 14]

Hi all!

 

I have set up a door sensor on my garage door and a siren. I have set up the alarm panel to manage it. If I arm the sensor and open the door, the siren is switched on. But here is the problem. I don't want the siren to sound for more than a few minutes. I have set up a scene to check for the status of the siren and to switch it off after a certain amount of time. If I turn on the siren manually from the UI, the auto off scene switches it off after the set amount of time. But if it is started bye tripping the alarm the auto off scene doesn't work.

 

Any ideas?

Have you ticked the box "Do not allow alarm to stop scene while alarm is running"

Thanks! I have checked and unchecked that box so many times on other scenes, but this is the first one related to the alarm panel and I can't believe I didn't remember to enable that feature. Works fine now. Thanks again.
