Forget my earlier reply, I've added a trigger card. This card is triggered every second while the counter is counting down. The tag holds the Seconds until alarm in seconds.
when can we get the update ?

Well, fast I think. Moving to 0.0.9 was a big change with a considerable impact on existing installations but I've received no bug reports so I guess it's working ok. If all stays like this I'll probably release the next version tomorrow.
But now have a functional alarm system running which is a big plus.

So far I could greatly simplify my alarm flows and also the maintenance of the sensors is a lot easier now.
Good to hear it's working as you want it to work, thanks for the feedback!
@larsmachiels
Also good to hear you too like it.
About your suggestion, you mean you want the Trigger Delay to also be used as an Activation Delay for a Surveillance Mode change?
I'm not sure if this would be logical (or redundant) to implement as there is a delay function on the action cards in the flow editor and I'm not sure it would confuse users.
Can other testers share their opinion on this?
version 0.0.10
The trigger delay gives you the time to stop the alarm before all the alarm bells go off. You can use the countdown sound to warn you that the alarm is armed.
currently i delay the arming to allow the user to leave, but if he or she changes their mind and goes back and disarms, before the delay has expired, the system will still arm and get confused.
This is growing to be a pretty amazing app. Slowly starting to move over to using it so feedback is slow from me. But you have done a great job so far
You've convinced me
I'll put it on the list (and after that the trigger card for the countdown that starts when the Surveillance Mode is activated with a delay )
It works as desired:
If you Arm and Disarm within the delay the Surveillance Mode will stay disarmed:
It has one trade off though, since the 'The state changed' trigger card is connected to the device it does get triggered on the changes of the modes and does not always represent the actual Surveillance Mode.
Version 0.0.11
when in app store?
Nice work
Andrew
Due to the addition of the arming delay the default trigger and condition cards on the device that is used to set the Surveillance Mode are not representative for the actual Surveillance Mode state. So for now I'm creating new flow cards that do represent the actual Surveillance Mode state.
After that I'll have to decide what to do with the device, keep it and the useless unreliable flow cards or create a new
device with custom capabilities that behaves the same as the default device but without the flow cards.
Version 0.0.12
So:
If you use this card in the when... column:
Please replace it with this card that can now be found on the app:
and
If you use this card in the ...and... column:
Please replace it with this card that can now be found on the app:
On a next version the Trigger and Condition flow cards will be removed from the Surveillance Mode device, so please make the changes described above.
If you have comments, questions or remarks please post them here.
concerning the changes in 0.0.12: How could I now get the information which sensor was causing an alarm? I used this information in a push notification. Now this information is gone in my flow and I can't find it anymore. Maybe I'm blind :-)

Hello Andreas,
The trigger card that gets triggered on an alarm has not changed and should work as before, for me it still looks like this:
Do you still have that card in your flow? What happens when you delete the card and add it again?
