Trigger Alarm When any Sensor is Triggered

[ahmadnazirafiq]

Hi, is it possible for me to trigger alarm when any sensor was triggered at a specific time? Eg: if I set the mode to Night and have the door sensor assigned to it. If the door was opened during Night mode, the alarm will trigger. Was it possible with your plugin? I just don’t see the option using A Sensor Detects Something in Home app.

I have an Aqara G2H camera which does not expose security alarm to HomeKit, but their alert system works just like what I described. I wanted to replicate the same functionality with HomeKit.

Hello!

There are two ways to do what you want to accomplish, the simple and the advanced one.

You can enable the Show Siren Mode Switches option that you can find in the advanced section and then multiple switches that will only trigger if the their mode is selected will appear.

Example: If door opens, turn on Siren Night

Also, if you have installed Eve or a similar HomeKit app you can add a condition to your automation to only work if the mode is selected

Example: if door opens and the security system’s current mode is night, turn on Siren

Hopefully this makes it more clear.

Thank you! Seems to work well, I made the automation using Eve app. Considering that this plugin requires a HomePod or AirPlay speaker, is there a workaround for the sound as I have neither of those.

[MiguelRipoll23]

Yes, you can connect a speaker to your Homebridge device. Install ffmpeg using the command that appears on the option description.

Alright, I've connected a speaker to the included audio jack of the Pi. I have enabled Audio with an alarm sound stored in /home/pi/sounds but I don't get to hear anything if I tap the Siren tile on the Home app. How do we test and know that its working? I already have ffmpeg installed.

Can you run Homebridge on debug mode using the command below and paste the log here?

homebridge -D
