Can someone help me create a “Flow” :  
If my water sensor / or one of my 3 pcs of fire sensors goes on alarm, then I want to turn on my Siren alarm.

Similarly, if my door sensor goes into alarm, I want after a time delay of 30 seconds Siren alarm.

Hi @toch,

There’re multiple ways to do this. My first suggestion would be to first create a group of your sensors with the group app. Which can be found here: [\< groep \> | Homey](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.swttt.devicegroups/&lt;-group-&gt;/)  
Create a group of your sensors  
Then create a trigger that if the group sensor go in alarm you active your sirene

Another thing which would be good to explore is the heimdall app. Which is a very comprehensive security app with a lot of build in security and alarming features without you having to build to much flows

Or

- Smoke / flood sensors:  
If…  
(select top level zone, ‘Home’ in my case, and then)  
An alarm turned on  
(Now pick a sensor type, f.i. smoke sensor or flood sensor.)  
Then…  
Turn on Siren

- Door:

- 
  - Flow1  
If…  
Sensor Door X Alarm turned on  
Then…  
Start or replace timer A 30s

- 
  - Flow2  
If…  
Sensor Door X Alarm turned off  
Then…  
Stop Timer A

- 
  - Flow3  
If…  
Timer A has finished  
And…  
Door X alarm is on  
Then…  
Turn on Siren

(I’m content with Chronograph as a timer app)
