Add a new Device card and select **An alarm turned on** or **An alaram turned off** Set type is **Contact Alarm** Then you can use the **Name** and **Zone** tags in the And or Then section of you flow. ---

To check if any contact alarms are open You could still use the device card with **All alarms are turned off** and select Contact alarm. The only problem is you cannot differentiate between doors and/or windows. ---
