Pimatic alarm system plugin

---

Hello is it possible that an email with the email plugin is send out?

@temp you could create a rule that triggers when alarm gets switched on

Bump
I’m trying this plugin to see if it’s something for my situation, but I think I’m doing something wrong

• Create a device with class AlarmSystem
• Create a device with class AlarmSwitch
• Add a dummy presence to the AlarmSystem config
• Turn the AlarmSystem on and get alarm system "alarmsystem" activated
• Set presence of dummy presence to present
• Nothing happens?
• Turn on AlarmSwitch, nothing happens?

What am I doing wrong? Do I misunderstand the plugin ?

@koffienl you need at least another actor that will be triggered once a sensor (in your case the Dummy presence sensor) gets input. The AlarmSwitch is just for turning on the alarm system.
With just one sensor you won’t see much.

Thanks for quick reply.
But I did ‘trigger’ the alarm by setting the presence device to present. What should happen in that situation ?

EDIT: When I restart pimatic, something changes… The name of the presence device will be displayed on the GUI but that’s it?
The AlarmSwitch doesn’t do anything?

@koffienl did you read https://github.com/michbeck100/pimatic-alarm/blob/master/README.md?

To see something happen, you need at least one actor to be triggered by a sensor, e.g. a presence sensor notices movement and triggers a switch which turns on the light.

In your case the switch is missing, so nothing happens. The AlarmSwitch can manually trigger an alarm (e.g. by rule)
