## How does it work?

All detected motion and opened/closed doors/windows on the sensors you select will be seen by _ **Heimdall** _. All these events will be logged and when _ **Heimdall** _ is in a **Surveillance Mode** the **Alarm State** will be activated.

## Instructions

- [Select the devices to monitor on the settings page.](#heading--step1)
- [Add a Surveillance Mode Switch.](#heading--step2)
- [Add methods to control the Surveillance Mode.](#heading--step3)
- [Add a flow with the desired actions when the alarm is triggered.](#heading--step4)
- [Add a flow to cancel your alarm actions](#heading--step5)
- [Add a flow to deactivate the alarm.](#heading--step6)
- [Add an Alarm Button.](#heading--step7)

After you’ve completed the instructions above and feel comfortable with _ **Heimdall** _ you’re ready for the [Advanced Functions](#heading--advanced) in _ **Heimdall** _

## Select the devices to monitor on the settings page

There are three possible **Surveillance Modes** these are: **Disarmed** , **Armed** and **Partially Armed**. Per sensor you can decide if it will be monitored while **Armed** , **Partially Armed** or in both modes. To give you the opportunity to leave the house after setting an **Armed** or **Partially Armed** mode or to **Disarm** when entering your house you can enable a **Delay** on the desired sensor.

and click _Install_ followed by clicking _Next_ to finish the installation.

[⬆ Instructions overview](#heading--instructions)

## Add methods to control the Surveillance Mode

There are several methods to change the **Surveillance Mode** , either by a flow and/or by using the **Surveillance Mode Switch** in the Homey app on your phone. If you have the [Homekitty app](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/name.klep.homekitty/HomeKitty/) installed you can even use the Homekit app on your iPhone or iPad to set the **Surveillance Mode**.  
If you want to use a keypad to set the **Surveilance Mode** you can, check out the [Ring Security App](https://community.homey.app/t/47287).

To change the **Surveillance Mode** from a flow you will have to use the **Set Surveillance Mode** card from the **Surveillance Mode Switch** as an action.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/3/b3cfe26d30393d5275e8c792bcd31b249c8d0297.png)

[⬆ Instructions overview](#heading--instructions)

## Add a flow with the desired actions when the alarm is triggered

To set the action Homey should take when the **Alarm State** is activated you need to make a flow with the **The alarm is activated** flow card as the trigger. That flow card has the **Zone** and **Reason** token which will show what sensor was the tripped and which zone it belongs in.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/80cae28108be678ccb85c7877de6e5ba1ca2b53a.png)

[⬆ Instructions overview](#heading--instructions)

## Add a flow to cancel your alarm actions

To cancel the actions Homey takes when the **Alarm State** is activated, so when you deactivate the **Alarm State** , you need to make a flow with the **The alarm is deactivated** flow card as trigger. So, if you enabled a siren in the previous flow, disable it in this flow.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/3/a3997b61843f076e4f979b38cf3ff0d833096c97.png)

[⬆ Instructions overview](#heading--instructions)

## Add a flow to deactivate the alarm

Deactivating the alarm can be done in either of two ways. The first is by using the **Deactivate Alarm** flow action card, the second by using the **Alarm Button** you can add from the app.

The **Arming Delay** can be used for delaying the changing of the **Surveillance Mode** to give you time to leave the house when using for example an Alarm panel. You can select the delay when arming for each of the armed **Surveillance Modes** , see [Delays](#heading--delays) for more information. The **Alarm Delay** can be used to give you time to set the **Surveillance Mode** to disarmed when entering the house. Both delays can be set to any value in the 0-300 seconds range.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/66cf29e9add36ca824fca3c7b022168e235b515b.png)

For logging you can choose to always log any event from a sensor or only when a **Surveillance Mode** is active and you can decide to only log activating of sensors. The setting to also **Listen to tampering reports from sensors** will enable this for all sensors supporting this capability.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/954ececa2e97e1ca4426a95125d7c228aa29661e.png)

When the **Surveillance Mode** is set a **Pre Arming Check** is preformed, you can select what type of sensors should be checked during the **Pre Arming Check**. If you use an **Arming Delay** you can also decide to perform the **Pre Arming Check** when the **Arming Delay** starts instead of when the **Surveillance Mode** is actually set. See [Pre Arming Check](#heading--prearming) for more information.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/9e0ab80dd3c017945f690aa232edfdee53ca1845.png)

_ **Heimdall** _ can write important events to your Timeline, you can select which events should be written to it.

And it supports speech output for certain actions.

[⬆ Advanced functions overview](#heading--advanced)

## Delays

The **Alarm Delay** can be used to give you enough time to set the **Surveillance Mode** to **Disarm** after entering the house through a door that has a door sensor.

When a sensor is tripped and the **Surveillance Mode** is in any of the Armed states the **Alarm State** will be set to activated immediately when no **Delayed Trigger** is configured on the triggered device.  
If the **Delayed Trigger** is configured on the triggered device a countdown will start for the duration of the **Alarm Delay** setting. If the **Surveillance Mode** is not set to **Disarmed** during the countdown on the end of it the **Alarm State** will be activated.

When the countdown starts the trigger flow card **The alarm delay is activated** can be used to inform you the countdown has started. The card has three tags, **Zone** , **Reason** and **Duration** which you can use in for example a spoken or a push message. The trigger card **The time until alarm changed** is called every second during the countdown and the tag **Seconds** holds the number off seconds until the **Alarm State** is activated.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/7/17350c5490363f618b4f3aa454868d7040a9354b.png)

When the option **Use delay when enabling Armed mode** or **Use delay when enabling Partially Armed mode** is checked the **The arming delay is activated** card will is activated. The card has one tag; **Duration**. During the countdown the **The time until armed changed** trigger flow card is called every second holding a tag **Seconds** which is again the seconds until the **Surveillance Mode** is activated.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/9/f9a738f013882c01ace0c6c383213283749fe3a2.png)

[⬆ Advanced functions overview](#heading--advanced)

## Last Door Functionality

The **Last Door Functionality** can be used to shorten the **Arming Delay** to 10 seconds after leaving the house. This function is automatically enabled on a Door Sensor that has the **Delayed Trigger** set to _yes_. To use it, just make sure the door is closed when the **Surveillance Mode** is set. When the **Surveillance Mode** is set the normal **Arming Delay** will start, after opening and closing a door which has the **Delayed Trigger** set the **Arming Delay** will be lowered to 10 seconds.

[⬆ Advanced functions overview](#heading--advanced)

## Pre Arming check

When setting the **Surveillance Mode** to either **Armed** or **Partially Armed** Heimdall can do a **Pre Arming check** , you can choose what sensor types to include:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/4/438c1efccc0864028afcb6fc61608c560e933d8e.png)

When using an **Arming Delay** the **Pre-Arming check** will be done when the actual **Surveillance Mode** is set, so when the delay countdown ends, you can let the **Pre Arming check** be performed before the **Arming Delay** by enabling the **Perform check before Arming Delay** setting.

When a sensor is not in the desired state during the **Pre Arming check** the flowcard **Sensor active at arming** will be triggered with the token **Warning** containing the text “Warning, sensor active…”

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/b/0bdccddafd1db80d9d3dab527f696f6f910f0467.png)

and it will be logged to the history:

 ![ewafnpxzlzhb](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/1308c501af0ed14ab73198b8a9c22893282fdd69.png)

There is also the option to let Homey tell you when a sensor is active, see the possible [speech options](#heading--speech) below.

[⬆ Advanced functions overview](#heading--advanced)

## Silent Code

When using a 3rd party Keypad you can enter an extra digit after your PIN when disarming to be used in a flow. Use the **A Silent Code was received** flow card and a Homey Logic condition card to create a flow to start your desired action.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/9/899bbf8378a7e42e71004bb5d349217c404d1881.png)

[⬆ Advanced functions overview](#heading--advanced)

## Log

If you do not want a device to activate an **Alarm State** but do want to log if for example motion is detected you can select the **Log** option for that device.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/b/b487e40fb4a257bb7fe7130c95034032bb2473fe.png)

When a device with the **Log** option changes state the **A logline was written** flow card will be triggered. This card has the tags **Zone** , **Device** and **State**.

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef41f89622183d0fdb62ca2a7241f7e5da468d91.png)

## FAQ

> **Q.** My Homey Pro 2023 installed a new firmware version and now I have missing flow cards! How can I fix this?  
> **A.** This is due to installing firmware 12.2 in which Athom finally decided to handle Custom Capabilities the way it was in pre Homey Pro 2023 firmware. Please see [this post](https://community.homey.app/t/heimdall-let-homey-watch-over-your-home/134/1552) on how to prepare or fix this.

> **Q:** Do I really need the add the **Surveillance Mode Switch**?  
> **A:** Yes, it is necessary to add the **Surveillance Mode Switch**. It is needed to set the **Surveillance Mode** from a flow and can also be used on your mobile device to set the desired **Surveillance Mode**.

> **Q:** What devices can I use as sensors for _ **Heimdall** _?  
> **A:** Any device that supports the _alarm\_motion_ or _alarm\_contact_ capability in Homey. Devices that support _alarm\_motion_ are for example motion sensors like the Fibaro Motion Sensor, Aeotec Multisensor or Xiaomi Human Body sensor but also smart doorbells like the Ring Video Doorbell’s or the Doorbird. Devices that support the _alarm\_contact_ capability are typical doorsensors like the Fibaro Door Sensor, Aeotec Recessed Door Sensor or Xiaomi Smart Door and Windows Sensor.

> **Q:** I have a device that doesn’t have the _alarm\_motion_ capability, can I still use it with _ **Heimdall** _?  
> **A:** Yes you can. Just install a Virtual Motion sensor from the [Virtual Devices](https://community.homey.app/t/1723) app and set’s it value in a flow triggered by your device. How to do that is explained [here](https://community.homey.app/t/134/8).

> **Q:** There are only three **Surveillande Modes** , **Disarmed** , **Partially Armed** and **Fully Armed**. I think I need more, can I add some?  
> **A:** No, three **Surveillance Modes** will be enough. You are are able to add and remove devices to/from a **Surveillance Mode** from a flow, making the combination of Armed zones unlimited. See [this post](https://community.homey.app/t/heimdall-let-homey-watch-over-your-home/134/638) how to do that.

> Create a home automation dashboard on your Android home screen using AutoRemote, Tasker and KLWP This tutorial builds on previous tutorials like sending information from Homey to your smartphone using KLWP. At least read them before diving into this one. This tutorial is just a showcase of what’s possible with Homey, Tasker, AutoRemote and KLWP and not a tutorial on how to create a completely featured dashboard.

I guess you’re Brad from [http://www.smarthome.com.au](http://www.smarthome.com.au) ? Great to see Heimdall also found its way down under next to Homey! Your donation is much appreciated! 👍

@Arie_Laxed published a new version (v0.7.4) of his [Virtual Devices](https://community.homey.app/t/1723) app with a fix for the flow card **Set a virtual sensor value** so you can set the _alarm\_motion_ capability.

If you have a device that does not have the _alarm\_motion_ capability itself you can now use that device with _ **Heimdall** _ by using a **Virtual Device** and setting its value in a flow.  
To do that you need to use the **Set a virtual sensor value** flow card form the **Virtual Device** and use it like this:

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/b/3babc44f7baee5ca8394fd78b2cb93613f0703be.png)  
(enable motion)

![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/b/7b7faf353191b44aef8a7a5e87deecce92e16125.png)  
(disable motion)

In order to use a **Virtual Device** like this it needs to be added with the _Device Class_ **Home Alarm** or **Sensor** and at least the _capability_ **Motion** needs to be selected.

Trying to get head round this use case… Can you give an example of how this might be used?

You can use this to be informed where a thief is moving after the alarm has been tripped as per [feature request by @tweaqer on github](https://github.com/daneedk/com.uc.heimdall/issues/25).

Hi @Perran83

This is the right spot to ask questions about Heimdall. 👍

Adding fire alarm functionality to Heimdall [has been discussed on the old forum](https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/65965/#Comment_65965), I am not really sure how I can improve on a flow that responds on smoke/fire sensor and take an action like send messages and sound a sirene.  
All functionality that Heimdall offers over building an alarm with regular flows have to do with the fact that Heimdall simplifies the arming with delays, pre-arming check, Partially arming, Full arming etc.  
For a fire alarm all these extra’s don’t apply, it just has to function always.

Maybe you can tell me how you’d like to see it integrated? Maybe you can convince me to add it anyway because I’m overlooking something 😃

@TedTolboom just released version 0.4.2 of his [Xiaomi Aqara ZigBee app](https://apps.athom.com/app/com.xiaomi-mi) with support for the Vibration Sensor.

This sensor can now be used with _ **Heimdall** _

 ![vibrationsensor](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/9/91fff08d4eb26d822aed9f9b91f89e0be967d450.png)

👍  
Me too, I’ve been running it for quite a while now and no false alarms in my testing. Sensitivity on my sensor looks ok to use it with Heimdall, but I have only on sensor to test with.

hi, sorry late reply. Yes you have a point. It was more to having all alarms connected together in one place but any way the user might want to have different flows triggering if its firealarm or burglar alarm.

Maybe it would be better to have the possibility to use Unifi cameras and / or other cameras that can be part of the input triggering sensors as well. But I dont have the knowledge if that would be possible or not. =)

Any camera that sends a message to Homey that results in an _alarm\_motion_ trigger in the app for that camera can be used as an input for _ **Heimdall** _.

Like a Ring  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/5/575440c76c77c38a56654007cd9319ce7ffc9b83.png)  
Or Doorbird  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/1X/2b5a02d5c1fe08bdce241148cb00e568d0e8d9f0.png)  
for example.

If a camera sends some sort of message to Homey but not with the _alarm\_motion_ capability you can ask the app developer to integrate that into the app.

A workaround can be to create a flow that gets triggered by the camera and looks like this:  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/6/6542c709b54ecc4b9a4d598fb0e3ebd42456f3d4.jpeg)  
That way all other actions like logging and activating the alarm flow will be the same.
