Newbie question to setup contact sensor

Welcome! :sunglasses:

The first part is exactly the example given in the official knowledgebase article on smart home monitor, so you can go ahead and set that up.

As far as doing it at night, how are you defining “night”?

Do you mean “after sunset and before sunrise”?

Do you mean a specific time frame, like “10 PM until 8 AM”?

Do you mean when your house is in “night” mode?

Or something else?

Also, before we go any further, read the following to explain the difference between “Mode” and “smart home monitor armed state” because it can help clear up a lot of confusion.
