Im trying to convert the “smart Security” app to use presence sensor instead of the Resident motion detectors. However, no matter how I set it up, it still sets off alarm when residents are present. Does anyone have an app that works like this or can someone instruct me on how to change it?
Are you writing your own app based on smart security? If so, can you post your code?
I have my ST set up to only alert on door contact and motion events when presence sensors arent present.
As well as posting your code, it would be great if you could let us know in as much detail as possible what you are trying to achieve.
Are you trying to use a mix of presence sensing and motion detectors to detect valid residents, and then use other motion detectors as intrusion alarms?
As @docwisdom said - including your code here would be most helpful, along with information from the log about what is triggering the event - would be most helpful.
I was using the “Smart Security” app and trying to convert the code. The only thing I would like changed is remove the “Motion detectors detecting residents” and replace with some sort of code to detect presence. My wife and I use our iPhones as presence detectors when we arrive and leave. I have converted the “Smart Security” app to allow for multiple phone texts but couldn’t get the presence code to work. Therefore, I reverted back to the original code. See below for code.

The only thing that should trigger the alarm are the motion detectors and open/close sensors. Presence not detected should arm system and Presence detected should disarm the system.
