Need help with "INTRUDER" Automation

Configuration
1

Hi all. I’m trying to set up an “INTRUDER ALERT” type automation. I currently have a door sensor and some smart lights installed for right now.

I’ve created a “bedtime” scene, where all the lights will shut off. But I wanted to setup an alert if after that scene went into effect, and the door was opened, then it would turn on the “all lights” scene I created, and also send an emergency type message to the two cell phones I have HA installed on.

Granted, I’m totally new at this so please bare with me. Any insight or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

alias: INTRUDER ALERT

Is something not working? What’s the question?

Scenes actually don’t have a “true” or “false” state. They only have one state which is “scening”. I would recommend going to the Helpers section under Configuration and creating a Toggle. The toggle is just a binary sensor. Whenever your bedtime routine is triggered, have it turn on this sensor. I would recommend having the sensor turn off either at sunrise or during a morning automation you may have. Replace every instance of “scene.bedtime” with this sensor in your automation (Its states are on or off). This would ensure that your automation actually triggers. Right now, this automation will not do anything since the condition will always return a false value, due to scenes never having a “true” value. Hope this helps, let me know if you need a clearer explanation of anything.

What you are trying to do can pretty much be done using Alarmo.

Awesome! I’ve never heard of that, but just installed it. Looks like it does have a bunch of the things I was looking for. Doesn’t have everything, including making sure our locations are in the house, but still great
