How to monitor specific sensors based on presence

@kenanali You can do that with Rule Machine:

I just walked through your scenario like this:

Created a new rule with 2 conditions: Condition 1 being “Presence”, and Condition 2 being “Contact”. You’re able to select which device for each condition, and the “state” to look for. In your case, present and open.

Next, Define the Rule by selecting a condition, like Condition 1, and then selecting AND, and then selecting Condition 2. That displays as your presence sensor as Present AND your contact sensor as Open.

Next comes the Action for True or False. You want True. If you have a siren, it has switch capabilities, so select “Turn on these switches” and find your siren. Scroll down just a bit further and select Send a Message and define the settings you need.

Here’s my example: (note, I have a siren, but I didn’t want to PO the wife testing this…)


This should work for ya!
