The problem is with all the sensors. Please note that the sensors are added via the Deconz app. ---

So the device is not recognized as Class Sensor. Have a look at the Device parameters in: [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) My doorsensor looks like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/a/5ace06009fadad66376057c475b069f0ba856fe1.png) ---

Deconz or not, he showed a contact sensor, which is okay. > [@Help with a flow: When raining, notify which doors/windows are open](https://community.homey.app/t/help-with-a-flow-when-raining-notify-which-doors-windows-are-open/48331/20): > > Yes, the open sensor is included in the script. Its the Balkondeur-Ke sensor. [Screenshot 2022-06-07 at 13.22.29] and alarm is true . @timvdhoorn Do the capabilities match if you look up the contact sensor at [developer](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices)? ![Screenshot_20220608-171332_Firefox](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/8/d8824edba628580030569cc9890f2b253bed0643.jpeg) . And, Just in case, does the contact sensor has an `alarm = false` status when the door is closed? In other words, does it switch? And, I’m still curious if the script works, or not, with a virtual contact sensor. You’ll need Virtual Devices app for this. > [@Peter\_Kawa](#): > > What happens if you create a virtual door contact, set it to alarm=true, and add it to the script’s sensor section? ---

Thats why I’m advising to have a look at the device parameters in [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices) ---

I don’t say you’re wrong 🙃 , but I tried to show you the sensor seems to present it self correctly as a contact sensor, Tim posted a screenshot. It’s in my previous post: ![Screenshot from 2022-06-08 17-38-14](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/1/e1050bbbe4209faf98392c674608ad9aa70c26ad.png) ---

Sure, nothing wrong with that, but Contact alarm is just a Capability title, doesn’t say anything about the Class where the code is looking for ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/d/8d1bf696e0f8b883740e4820007d3f4cb6db5084.png) Anyway, let wait for Tim’s findings 😀 ---

The device type ‘sensor’ could be a problem. Perhaps it has another type, but the alarm\_contact capability. A complete screenshot from the device (developer page) would be nice. ---

Okay, after changing the script from ‘sensor’ to ‘homealarm’ the sensor will show up when running the script 🙂 ![Screenshot 2022-06-08 at 18.52.30@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/3/837298a34c1a6d3845becbaba79208873a9553d6.png) Now… How can I make the script look at class ‘sensor’ and class ‘homealarm’? EDIT: I think like this? ```auto if(device.class == 'homealarm' || 'sensor') ``` ---

Looks like both work. (I really need to learn JS… 😛 ) ---
