Can someone help me extend the automation below just a bit. I’m hoping to get it to differentiate “armed_night” and “armed_away”; right now whether I leave home or gets late at night (in my setup, it is 11pm), the alarm always goes to “armed_night”.
In my instance, I would like it to go to “armed night” at 11 pm if everyone is home and to “armed_away” if everyone is “not_home”.
Thank you all for your help on this!

There’s quite a bit of fundamental things you need to do this though.
You need home presence nailed. You don’t want to be arming your system away when you’re home or visa versa. Do you have that nailed? IMO simply using whether a phone is home or not isn’t enough in my house. I use a house presence to determine who is home and whether they are upstairs, etc.
Luckily for now, there are just 2 of us and the phone presence only is working very well (they are pretty much always with each of us if we are gone); what are some thoughts you were having though, I’m all ears.
@calisro Thank you for the help you have given me in the past and responding here.
**EDIT: Also, the above was stolen code that I am trying to adapt for my situation.
Heck, I stole the whole home assistant setup from the youtuber slackerlabs (github repo)
This is how I manage auto-arming my alarm when the house is vacant. It incorporates quite a bit into the house_occupied group including phone presense, wasp sensors, and such. In your case, you’d probably substitute that for your own trigger.

I basically broadcast in the house just incase someone is there when I try to arm away and if no one disables the auto-arm-away, it turns it on. Works well for me incase I left a kid home and presence didn’t detect them for some reason. They can simply disable it with their voice or by walking in front of a sensor.
I use something different for when we are home.

Ahh, I understand the necessity now. Thank you for sharing you’re approach at this. The thing I was having difficulty with was differentiating between night and away with what I have. The only way I could think to do it was to use “choose” with one path being the condition of time and the other path, being the condition of who’s home???
Thank you for this one also. It will be good for me to review other people’s approaches at these things. This was about the last thing I wanted to correct before I could say I am at a good minimum requirement base once I moved over from smartthings.
@calisro Rob, I hate to ask you another question but this one has been bugging me a bit and I just figured I would throw it out there to you as I can tell you know what you’re doing. So:
Is there a benefit to having the scripts and automations built strictly in yaml packages or in yaml in general?
To be honest, I don’t see a benefit other than possibly some organization that you get with packages. And with me being a noncoder, it seems like a nightmare for myself to build automations outside of the GUI.-- I’ve considered pulling everything out of “yaml” only but I don’t know if it’s a good idea and was wandering some others opinions on this (maybe I should start another thread)
What are your thought on this? For now, since, I stole most of my setup from a more capable individual, almost everything is in packages. What is your opinion of this whole situation?
It’s preference. I haven’t used packages much but they do help keep things organized. A package is nothing but a group of related things.
It we’re being upfront, I probably would have used packages if I knew more about HA back when I started. There’s some functionality that would have been nice to have just in one place.
But it’s really just organization preference.
I don’t really use the gui much anymore now that I know the syntax. I use the editor UI but typically write in the yaml editor.
