Smart Home Monitor - Feature Requests

I believe the OP wants to use the text as the “if” and then have the lights turning off either “that” so that the human doesn’t have to look at it at all.

I didn’t read all the way back up to find OP. just the new post about using virtual switch with IFTTT to call phone.

Thanks for the suggestion I will have to look into that. I already have it send me a push message but its not in my priority contact. I use the mentioned IFTTT integration so that I get an actual phone call with a pre-recorded message, I also have it call friends or family when on vacation in case I don’t have cellular service, I also grant them temp access to my Arlo cams so they can see if everything is ok before dispatching the police. Maybe not ideal but my setup is still fairly new and I want to make sure I am not getting any false alarms before I look into paid monitoring service such as scout.
