I have recently installed a Eufy alarm and am disappointed at the alarm volume. So, I have added some sirens which I need to trigger if the Eufy alarm is triggered.
So far this is working fine:
- Eufy alarm sends ‘triggered event’ (this is an event not a persistent state)
- This causes ‘Alarm Triggered’ automation to start (trigger: Device, Homebase triggered)
- Automation turns on smart plugs which have screamer sirens plugged in
- After 30s Eufy stops alarming (assuming no further sensor activity)
- After 30s the automation also stops (turn on siren, wait 30s, turn off siren)
This is all fine except when someone accidentally triggers the alarm (usually the child rushing in). If we disarm Eufy at the keypad (or app), Eufy stops - but the automation continues for remainder of the 30s.
So my question essentially is:
- How can I tell the automation to continue for 30s unless Eufy enters a state of ‘disarmed’?
I’m a bit of a noob at this - hence why there are no yaml postings - I’m trying to do this all through the UI.
Any other approaches/suggestions also welcomed.
Thanks!
