Thanks for reporting, Is that sensor included in the set **Surveillance Mode**? And if I understand what you’re doing you use that sensor in a flow to set the **Surveillance Mode** to **Disarmed**? ---

Yes it is in the surveillance mode. Correct, it disarms the mode (but only if it is the first sensor that tripped, otherwise it will log another motion in heimdall). Due to the delayed trigger it will not trigger the alarm immediately but the timeline seems to ignore the delayed trigger. ---

I have sa question why Homey doesn’t see me leaving the house when my phone has Android 9.0. is this a familiar problem? I am administrator , when I use another phone as user account there is no problem. I noticed this in version 2.0 so I hope it is solved with this update. ---

> [@Benno\_Berreboom](#): > > my phone has Android 9.0 This is probably the cause… But this doesn’t really have anything to do with Heimdall. Better post it in the general Homey v2.0-topic ---

You’re right, a message is written to the Timeline when a sensor triggers the alarm just as it’s written to the history. For the History the next message would be an **Alarm Countdown** started followed by either the message the **Alarm** was activated or the **Surveillance Mode** was set to **disarmed**. I feel sending all these message also to the Timeline would clutter it to much so I moved the _write to Timeline_ function from the trigger from a sensor to the actual activation of the **Alarm** state. This change will be available in version 2.0.3. Thanks for noticing and reporting this @Hannes85! ---

Hi @PhilS, turned out I did receive the report, was in another spam folder 😉 I’ve sent you the relevant log per PM, could you please check the sensors that say open in the app? On the last tab of a device you can see when a contact alarm turned on and off. If you click a line it shows the date and time. I’m either thinking these sensors report inverted or the did open and never sent a close report. ---

Interestingly i do not see (nor have seen) any events in the history stating a countdown or triggering the alarm, such as the event in the timeline. Good to note; alarm delay is unconfigured. The only thing I have done is set the sensor in question to “delay” under devices (log, full, partial,**delay)**. Thanks for changing it in the timeline though, helps a lot :)! ---

That’s most likely because this sensor sets the **Surveillance Mode** to **Disarmed** and thus cancels the Countdown to the alarm. > [@](#): > > Good to note; alarm delay is unconfigured. > The only thing I have done is set the sensor in question to “delay” under devices (log, full, partial, **delay)**. Selecting **Delay** is actually the setting that configures the **Alarm Delay** for that particular sensor. ---

New version published > ## Version 2.0.2 > > - Improved code for enumerating devices With the firmware change from 1.5.x to 2.0 the way devices are handled in Homey has changed dramatically, this change in _ **Heimdall** _ makes sure the app waits until a device is in a ready state before it is evaluated to be included in _ **Heimdall** _. ---

I had this happen to me once that a sensor failed to successfully report motion stopped to Homey. Resulting in a false positive. On that occasion, I left the house already unable to turn back, unlock, go in, trigger sensor and wait for it to report motion stop. In my Vera system it was quite easy to manually manipulate a sensors state in the Vera web UI. Is it possible to manually manipulate a sensors state in Homey? ---

Hi @Baschtl Yes, I can. The **The state changed** card is created automatically by Homey because the device has the _home\_alarm_ capability. This is unwanted however because it only represents the state of the device, While the actual **Surveillance Mode** can be different due to an **Arming Delay** for example. In Homeys firmware before 2.0, _capabilities_ were related to specific _device types_ but this has changed. Now a _capability_ can be used on any _device type_. That’s unfortunate for _ **Heimdall** _ however because it specifically uses the _device type_ other for the **Surveillance Mode Switch** so no default flow cards are created for the device. In short: The **The state changed** trigger card should not be used, use the **Surveillance Mode changed** trigger card. (Like you did in your second post 👍) I will see if I can prevent the default card being created. ---

Sorry, still doesn’t work with that type of sensor. If I make a flow without Heimdall in the “When” box and just the sensor itself detects motion, Push works flawlessly. ---

Very strange. Could you make sure you’ve installed _ **Heimdall** _ version 2.0.2 (which is available since yesterday evening) stop and restart _ **Heimdall** _ and after a minute or 2 go to _More_ - _Apps_ in the Homey app and select _ **Heimdall** _ . Then click on the _cogwheel_ in the upper right corner, click on _ **Create Diagnostics Report** _ and inform me so I can have a look at it. Can you also post a screenshot of the devices tab from the _ **Heimdall** _ settings? ---

I love Heimdall, good job!! I just have a question regarding the countdown: Is it possible to cancel it? For example I arm via RDID Chip and forgot something and wanna cancel arming. I use the RFID again and the mode changes to disarmed. BUT the countdown still goes on. ---

Can someone help me what I’m doing wrong? Own the Homey now for a week and always get stuck. There is version 2.0 on the Homey Want to make a simple security. The alarm button must be white if the alarm is on and off if it is gray. Have a motion sensor and this should send a message to my phone if it registers a movement. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/1/1a5988f45420907d722845b3cd6659554e1fee37.jpeg) ---

White alarm button is default for Homey v2. If an alarm is active, an additional icon is shown. Press and hold to check more details of the alarm and store detail screen to the right for a button to cancel the alarm.
