Auto arm after no motion or at a certain time Rule
Answered
could someone show an example if this is doable please. I am new to rules and have tried for days now to do this and am failing over and over.
I want to arm my home away at a certain time if there has been no motion for a certain time.
and arm my home at night home at 11:00
No connection
Real-time notifications may not work
firstly i would create one rule that turns on a virtual sensor upon no motion from your motion sensors. Then a second to use this sensor to activate the alarm. You can use wait blocks in either your first rule or second rule that way.
And the third with a scheduler or time block to activate at 11:00.
Just remember to go to the settings of your alarm partition and tick the box "quick arm"

Thanks will give it a try
Thanks will give it a try
what am I doing wrong?
I started with the auto arm at 11:00 as I have no clue where to start with the virtual sensor

To have a group motion sensor that will activate your alarm is a little more tricky. Start by creating up a virtual sensor, you will use this sensor as a group sensor that all other physical sensors you have in your system will trigger.
1 rule will use your existing sensors to trigger the virtual sensor on and off.
2 rule will be activated when the v sensor is activated, and can contain a wait puzzle that waits the specified time and then activates your alarm.
Have a play and see how you go, any issue, post your rules here again and we can help

will give a whirl on the motion sensor in a bit...after kids are in bed
Thanks again!
