Heimdall - Let Homey watch over your home

[DaneedeKruyff]

Thanks, I found the problem. The PIN is sent as a string and not as a number, so I changed the token type to string.
Make sure to use a condition card that tests on text in your flow!

The new test version is available at: Heimdall | Homey

[Simone_Erle]

yes. its works

[DaneedeKruyff]

Great, thanks for testing!

New version published

Version 2.10.20

• Added Silent Code to handling Keypad PIN codes

You can now ad an extra digit to your PIN code when disarming from your 3rd party Keypad to be used in a flow. Here’s inspiration to create a flow to use this Silent Code:

Hello, I Got a Simple Question But can’t find the answer. Heimdall has several users. Al User have there one Pin code or RFID Tag. (using a Friend keypad) Now i want a Notification if a Certain User Disarmed the Alarm and Witch User Disarmed the Alarm

So I Want To Flows.

1. If the user “%Username%” disarmed the alarm then 
2. IF The Alarm is disarmed then make a Notification User “%username%” Disarmed the Alarm.

Can Someone help me Please.
Thanks

There’s no flowcard available for this, as mentioned before:

Heimdall - Let Homey watch over your home

That’s not possible (yet?) When the Surveillance Mode is changed on a smart device using the Surveillance Mode Switch it is not possible to determine who performed that action, only when a Ring Keypad is used. So, when I create a flowcard that includes the user as a tag I will receive tons of bug reports telling me the tag isn’t working so I’ve decided not to add this untill Athom somehow makes the users available that used the Surveillance Mode Switch.

Athom has still not provided a method to know which user performed an action in Homey so the same reasoning still applies.

[Ronald_Bok]

Mmm Strange reasoning. The Heimdall App has the users and the Pin/RFID. So therre can be a tag when a Pin/RFID is used.

Then my Reasoning would be Heimdall gets a pin/RFID Translate it back to the user account in the heimdall app and make the account a TAG you can use.

[DaneedeKruyff]

Well, not from my point of view.
When a keypad is involved the user is known, yes, but when no keypad is used no user is known.
Only a fraction of the Heimdall users is using a Keypad, so most users would end up with a tag that would make no sense and ask me to fix it, which is impossible.
Hence my choice to not include a tag.

[Ronald_Bok]

I don’t think I fully understand.

Users, Pincode, and RFID are managed in Heimdall.

The Frient keypad works together with Heimdall.

When I create a flow that disables the alarm in Heimdall, I don’t interact with the keypad.
I create a flow that is triggered when Heimdall’s status changes. In the Heimdall app, it is also visible that a user enters a code. So Heimdall knows which code was used and to which user it is linked.
In fact, the Heimdall app’s dashboard clearly shows which user disabled the alarm.

It should be simple to retrieve this information and use it to create a notification in a flow.

Yes, it would be simple when a keypad is used, but when there is no keypad it is impossible.
So it would result in expectations that can’t be met and I’m not willing to support that.

I use Heimdall combined with a frient keypad. I set up a delay for both the enabling of the alarm and the triggering of the alarm. When I enable the alarm, the delay works fine. But when I open a door with a door sensor, the alarm triggers within a second. In the screenshots, you’ll find my settings. Can you point out what’s the problem?

I have door and motion sensors on my patio screen enclosure for my pool. 2 doors are just screen enclosure doors to the yard and 1 door sensor is my house door to the patio. Can I set up surveillance just on that area using specific sensors and a siren that is located out there?

I have my whole house already set up under surveillance but want to add just a section for the pool in case children enter the area and we are not aware of that.

Example: Main surveillance would be the whole house, 2nd surveillance zone would be the pool/patio area only. I was looking at making a virtual button to just turn on/off a sensor flow for those doors but I can’t seem to find how to do that (yet)

Thanks

[DaneedeKruyff]

Hi,

Did you also select Delay on the particular door that needs the delay?

[DaneedeKruyff]

There is an Armed and Partially Armed Surveillance Mode and there are flow cards to add and remove devices from a particular Surveillance Mode. Please see the FAQ.

[JnJ_Stanley]

Thanks again for the responses.

My original set up is Partially armed = Arm Stay. This means we are home and probably sleeping. If any door or window alarm activates- lights turn on, and sirens sound immediately.

Surveillance mode Armed = Armed Away. This allows for a delay when we come home and have time to disarm using our panel.

The pool screen doors would not be on these modes.

What are your thoughts based on this information?

Thank you
