I would like to set up an automation that if something happens it loudly alerts my phone (not just a notification)
For example play an alarm, ring my phone. I use android
Any recommendations how to?
I assume by “something happens” you mean any ST activity. Which ver of android are you using? If you are on Android 13 on a Samsung phone, you can use ‘Modes and Routines’
You can set a routine like:
IF notification (from ST)
THEN play alarm etc
