I don’t know ofany sensor that could. But I also didn’t investigate at all.

I know that for “regular” alarm systems you can get sensors that don’t even see a full size dog (like a labrador) but do see humans.

The Aeotec MultiSensor (v6) has a Motion Sensor Sensitivity setting (5 levels) but I only recommend using it when you can power it by USB because in my experience it drains batteries like a mad man.

But when your pets are always inside I would suggest to not use motion sensors but only sensors that monitor the different entry ways into your appartement, so door and window sensors. When you’re afraid someone will brake a window to get in you could possibly use the Aqara Vibration sensor to detect tampering with the glass.

I don’t think this has anything to do with _ **Heimdall** _ but with getting the flow to execute properly.  
[@moderators](https://community.homey.app/groups/moderators) can any of you split this into a new topic?

Since you say the way you trigger the flow makes a difference indicates the problem with the flow. The _ **Heimdall** _ action flow card will only be triggered when the flow is executed succesfully so that needs to be fixed first before I can help you.

Hi @DaneedeKruyff, have created the IAS devices as proposed and all are werking fine! This has saved me a ton of extra work.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I am probably overlooking a setting, but cannot find it anywhere…  
How can I disable the notifications (to my phone and in the Home timeline) for when Heimdall is enabled/disabled?  
I probably have enabled it somewhere, but cannot find this setting anymore.

Other notifications should (of course) not be disabled…

Now that I check these settings:  
For the push messages to my phone; what should I disable?  
“Let Homey tell me” is disabled already. But suppose this is a voice message from the speaker of Homey.  
See my settings below…

I have an Android phone.  
The Homey app sends a push message that Heimdalls surveilance mode is en-/disabled:

I did, but that would disable all push messages from Heimdall if I am correct… (?)  
When there is an alarm, then I would need to get a push message of course.  
Just want to disable messages for enabling and disabling surveillance mode…

That is a possibility, thx.  
But then I would have to make separate flows for when the alarm is armed, but a door or windown not shut as well…
