What's your question?

Hello, sorry for the question.

I used some automation to set security system awareness Home/Away mode if I arrive or leave my house.

I also created automation to trigger the siren:

Untitled Untitled 3

But I dont really understand the use of current security system and target security system. Can help me ?

Thx by advance.

@Barichon21 The difference between Target vs Current is essentially one is pending the change and/or in progress (Target) and the other is currently successfully armed (Current). I personally always use the Current state for a condition in automations so that the automation will only run if the current state is/is not already in a specific armed state. The Target state would be useful as a condition if you have an arming delay turned on and you're wanting to check for the status of that transition before running an automation.
