since im "new" to this home surveillance systems like these.. im full unifi video supplied in my home..
so forgive me my asking here.
but adding "delay" what is the purpose for that function?
Is it possible to add a siren? so that i can arm it WITH the siren blowing off if something happens, but without activating the siren if we are asleep etc?
Like different "types" of alarm situations?
I intend to use it in two ways
1) House Alarm Control
2) Blue Iris Control camera security
tip: use the @ symbol to mention someone in your post. Says you quote and deleting. @skandshus
Thanks, I had all those manual creative solutions too and that motivated me to write this app.
@skandshus
The 'delay' is meant to give you the time to either leave (when arming) or enter (to disarm) your house.
Imagine you have a keypad indoors next to your front door and a sensor that monitors that door. If you were to enable a Surveillance Mode without a delay leaving your house would result in an alarm. Also when you come home and open your door you will have the time to disarm using the keypad.
You can decide yourself what you want to do when the alarm is activated, use the trigger card 'The alarm is activated' for that. So you can make a flow that turnes your siren on with that card, but also let it send a message for example.
I haven't looked into the capabilities/functionality of a sirene yet, at a later time I will and see what the possibilities are to integrate it into the app.
I work for a security company and replacing my own home alarm with your app would be great! I hope I can be of some use for you as well by supplying ideas commonly used in security land
Thanks !
I ask cause the name means nothing to me.. but it might be a dutch thing?
Heimdall or Heimdallr is the guardian of the gods in Norse mythology. He is the son of nine virgin sisters, daughters of Aegir. Snorri Sturluson calls Odin as his father.
And it may be a bit of a Dutch thing, a lot of devices/services in Holland are given a person name. I've added the phrase 'Let Homey watch over your home' to give an indication what the app does and added some search terms to the app hinting on it's functionality so we have to see if it is sufficient.
Version 0.0.13
- Replaced Surveillance Mode device with new one that has the same functionality minus the trigger and condition flow cards
- Fixed greyed-out 'Deactivate alarm button' (Needs removing and adding of the device)
Next up is the alarm indicator on the Alarm Off Button, after that and if no issues are found I'll submit the app for approval by Athomis there a limitation in the amount of sensors watching your home? I have a motion sensor in my device list, which is missing in the settings page of Heimdall. Actually there are 18 devices in my settings page and 19 in my device list.
Other motion sensors same type are listet in the settings.

Hello Andreas,
There is no limit in my code. The code just asks homey for all devices and cycles through the list looking for devices that have an alarm_motion (and alarm_contact) capability.
What brand/type sensors are we talking about?
What is the total amount of devices on your homey?
Cheers,
Danee
Version 0.0.14
If there are no issues this version will be submitted for approval and will become the public beta version.
BUT don‘t mind anymore, I restarted the App and now the missing one ist available in the settingspage. Maybe a hiccup of Homey. I should try this in the future before writing a comment. Sorry, my fault.
