Colin! You could create the delay using a flow with countdown and a virtual sensor, not using the delay in Heimdall at all. Then you will have more controll. I am doing this for a specific sensor on my storage door. ---

I have installed the Heimdall app and all devices (door sensors) are available and recognised by Heimdall, configured as full and partial, frontdoor has a delay of 60 seconds. I have written a flow which activates some lamps when the trigger alarm is activated, this flow is working correctly when testing. I activate the “toezicht mode” using a 4 button Hank device, another button for deactivating this mode. This device is also working correctly and the according flow also. However when the “toezicht mode” is set toFull or Partial, the alarm flow is not activated at all. Of course I am doing something wrong but can’t figure out what. ---

Hi Bob, Can you please look on the **Dashboard** on the settingspages of _ **Heimdall** _ there you can see if the **Surveillance Mode** is actualy set to the desired mode and if the opening of a door is indeed registered and if an **Alarm Countdown** is started. Please post your findings here so we have a place to start looking what goes wrong in your situation. (To have a better readable overview of the **Dashboard** see this post: [Homey Flow for Web - three Column view [CSS customization]](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-flow-for-web-three-column-view-css-customization/9765/2)) ---

On the dashboard the surveillance mode is set. It is working now I think, but there is a general delay of some time. When I open the door directly after the mode is set, the alarm is not triggered. (and of course I am not opening the frontdoor with the delayed mode). ---

There should be no delay, unless it’s configured. Can you post a screenshot of your **Delays** settings? What happens if you set the **Surveillance Mode** using the **Surveillance Mode switch**? ---

There is also a delay when using the switch. ![Screenshot_20190414-171927_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/c/c5796df4144d3eaed44b0052a6a96fc24cdf8535.jpeg) ---

Well, your settings explain why. You have configured an **Arming delay** (Inschakel vertraging) of 60 seconds and have enabled **Use when enabling (Partially) Armed mode** (Gebruik vertraging bij Volledige/Gedeeltelijke mode) So when the **Surveillance Mode** is selected (either by flow or the **Surveillance Mode Switch** ) it will be actualy activated 60 seconds later. (Also, you said in an earlier post you selected **Delayed** (Vertraagd) on the front door sensor but you have set the **Alarm delay** to 0 seconds so there will effectively be no delay when the front door is opened) ---

Hi! I think I might have found a bug in Heimdall, at least in the version for v1.5 of Homey (not upgradet yet, soon…). If you have armed full and select partial armed (with arming delay) and press disarm before the delay has ended, it seems that only the partial arming is “disarmed”/stopped and Heimdall will return to fully armed. I have seen this once and have not yet retried it. ---

Thats the result of the latest Homey firmware update unfortunately. It’s acknowledged by Athom and a fix is ready but isn’t yet distributed. Please follow the steps described here [https://github.com/daneedk/com.uc.heimdall/issues/39](https://github.com/daneedk/com.uc.heimdall/issues/39) to solve the issue. ---

Thanks for the answer. I switched back to german and it solved the issue at the moment. Or the restart 😉 I have an additional question about the: “Check all Sensors” stuff. Is there a way that this card did not check my motion sensors? All my motion Sensors are NOT part of the Heimdall stuff and not enabled. But the “Check all Sensors” checks them. ![heimdall](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/5/53b4537d4abf7ecb08497f5b4914c236ce9add1c.png) ---

Well, the **Check all Sensors** will always check them all, regardless whether they are used in any **Surveillance Mode**. If you do not want to receive the status of your motion sensors you can exclude them in the flow that sends you a message about the sensors statuses, like so for example: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/2X/f/f245e2696adc862812094f6f8252ebd0548fe7f3.jpeg) This flow will inform you of all active sensors except motion sensors. ---

No, I have no idea. Athom acknowledged the bug, said is was fixed in the next version but has not given an eta on this version. The [release notes](https://firmware.athom.com) of Homey v2.1.2-rc.3 (experimental) hints on a fix but when I asked @Emile and @JeroenVollenbrock about this on slack there was no reply. ---
