I just want to make sure its triggering optimally. I don’t want my speakers to say hello when I’m not actually coming home and I’m just opening doors or walking around setting off motion sensors. Instead, I want it only to say it when I actually was out and now I’m home. Is the “Arrive Of” setting exactly the way to set this? It only triggers upon arrival of my phone AND a door open if I set it that way? How many minutes after I arrive does the second trigger need to happen for it to know that this is the situation to say “Welcome Home”?
Hey Bobbles, I’m pretty novice. How do you implement this? I’ve been using smartapps in the mobile app and I’m guessing this is a more advanced setup. If you can give me some detailed step by step instructions or link me to some, that would be great.
This rule is using CoRE. It’s a rule engine that lets you set up anything using very simple rules to very complex stuff.
I’m very much a novice at this but once you get into it it does become easier.
You can download the app from here:-
When you open up the app you need to create a smartapp in the ide.
You can then use it.
I’m not sure how familiar you are with all this so I will leave you to it.
