Customize Smart Home Monitor Security Alarm with early warning alert?

SmartApps & Automations Automation Ideas

I’m using Smart Home Monitor for a security system. I would like to set it up so that a more quiet alarm goes off for about 30 seconds before the loud siren alarm. I don’t see a way to do this in the app. There there a way to have a custom alarm fire about 30 seconds before an “Alert with sirens” alarm?

You can use a simulated sensor for SHM and use webCoRE to cook your own rules to when the simulated sensor opens and close.

For example:

webCoRE

If any of motions are active
or any of contacts are open

Then using Siren
Sound at X decibles
Wait 30 Seconds

Then using simulated sensor
Open

If SHM is disarmed
Then using simulates sensor
Close

It does not work with native Smartthings but…

…there is an app for that :slight_smile:
