Hello Homey’s
I’m looking for a new alarm system and want to connect it to homey, if not i use homey itself.
I know you can use Homey as a alarm system with Heimdall and sensors.
Is there anyone that uses homey for alarm system and do you recommend it?
Pros and Cons?
Hello Andre !
Yes I’m using Homey, Lifx bulb, Sonos and sensors as alarm
First I’ve “Trigger” flows with motion sensor and “open/close” doors sensor:
When triggered, this flow launch the “Alarm scene” flow. This flow manage flows to activate and disable after x minutes. He also notify me via notification:
Finally I have alarmSound and alarmLight flows:
I’ve also my IP Cam who start recording on my synology when I leave my apartment.
Hope it helps !

Thanks Julien for the quick reply
i already new that is was posseple, but it was cool to here that someone actually use it.
i like the idea that i chose what is happening when the alarm is triggered.
do you only use geofencing for arm / disarm?
Check out the Heimdall app…
All “standard” alarm features build into one fabulous app transforming your Homey into an alarm system

Thank you Ted.
my plan was to use Heimdall, but that fully automated geofencing arm /disarm is actually pretty cool.
i will buy some motion and door/window sensors
Thanks for the help guys.
That can also be easily done with Heimdall
