[OBSOLETE] SHM Delay TrueExit - Create a SmartHome True Exit Delay

Using Delay, I have a door contact sensor on the front door and a motion sensor in the hall with an Android panel in the hall. I want to delay the setting of the alarm when leaving or arriving. The delay seems to be OK, but it isn’t monitoring the hall?

On entry delay should the motion sensor be activated when entering the home, it must be added to the Delay Profile and removed from Smart Home Monitor. Since the keypad provides a real exit delay, motion sensors are not monitored until the system is armed in Away mode

I’ve tried adding LANnouncer but it doesn’t seem to be working in SHM Delay? UPDATE: I found the section about LANnouncer not working when using Fully and Actiontiles on an Android tablet, so have changed this to the FullyTTS and BigTalker2 but still nothing sounding in SHMDelay.

Is the SHM Delay Talker module installed and a Talker Profile created? SHM Delay does not use or need Big Talker, although it may be used and should happily coexist. When using any output speech device make sure it works before attempting to use it with any Smartapp

I’ve tried TrueExit instead to see if I can get that working. It seems to work fine including playing the announcement on LANnouncer/BigTalker2, but I only have the option of creating one delay. I’d like one for Good Bye, Good Night and I’m back to allow for getting in and out of the house?

When using a keypad the True Exit module is superfluous and should be removed, the keypad provides a real exit delay.

The SHM Delay documentation has complete and detailed setup and testing information.
