Most efficient flow for multiple (11) occupancy sensors read out

paulvoncken

Hi there,

I'm building my own alarm system using homey.

Every room in my home has one or more MultiSensor 6's build in the ceiling (11 in total).

What would be the most efficient way to set up the following rule/flows:

If one or more sensors is triggered when Alarm Status is ON (Virtual button) then turn on Siron (AEOTEC SIREN) and send push notification.

There should be a better solution than: creating 11 seperate flows for every sensor combined with a counter (BetterLogic)? Or not?

Thanks!

Paul

Do you know about https://apps.athom.com/app/com.uc.heimdall ?

built-in in Homey:

The example @bvdbos pasted was what I was using before I decided to make the Heimdall app, you can get it working with those flows but soon will run into the need for more flows and complexity.

What Heimdall does is explained here:

I've never heard of this app, so thanks for the heads up!

You’re welcome, hope it fits your need.

I've installed the app, but I'm overlooking the main function somehow.. "When alarm is triggered"

Is this the default as bvdbos said:

built-in in Homey:

Or has Heimdall app a card (which I just can't see)

Thinks I did:
- Installed the App,
- Checked some boxes in the settings and confirmed my occupance sensors are detected by the app
- Added 2 virtual devices in Home (Alarm and Surveillance)
- Used a flow to engage alarm (Awareness flow using BetterLogic and the Ubiquity App)

Now the next logical thing for me is: Create a flow when Alarm is triggered do this...

(It's probably something really stupid what missing here..)

Thanks

What I pasted is built-in in Homey, nothing to do with the Heimdall app. Did you look at settings -> heimdall?

It’s a card on the app: The alarm is activated.
It is described in the first post in this thread: https://forum.athom.com/discussion/4514/app-heimdall-let-homey-watch-over-your-home/p1

Both the app and the Surveillance Mode device have flow cards, just play around and drag the icons to any flow column and scroll trough the different cards in the columns to get a feel with what is possible.

If you have further questions, please post them in the Heimdall topic, it may help others as well.
