Beep when door is opened while alarm is armed away

[nelsonh]

I have set up a rule to beep my sonalert when:

Define Required Expression
Entry, exit, closet contact open AND
HSM status is Armed Away

Select Trigger Events
Define Triggers

Create Conditions
Create Conditions

Select Actions to Run (and Create and Manage Conditions and Local Variables)
On: Tone

The tone sounds for a second or two when I click on Run Actions but the rule does not trigger.

What am I doing wrong?
Also I would prefer the sonalert to sound until I disarm the alarm.

Thanks

First welcome, and if you Join the Owners group you can post a screenshot of your rule.

From your text above, however, it does not appear that you have a trigger.

A required expression will allow a rule to trigger when the conditions are true, but you still need to define a trigger.

In its simplest form it should look something like this. Substitute Day for your away Mode and substitute the action of turning my office light on for turning on your device. You'll still need a rule to turn the sound off as well though but maybe this will help you get started.

How do i Join the Owners group?

Click the menu at the top of screen, the three lines at the top, then select groups.

Then join the hub owners group

When I add a condition, it shows unused behind it and does run:
Manage Conditions
HSM status is Armed Away (unused)

Also what does "Select capability for new Condition" do?

Here is a screenshot:

How do I get rid of the Unused behind the condition HSM status is Armed Away?

For action, select IF, then it will ask you what condition to add, then choose the one you created. Then choose the ON action you have now, then click END-IF at the end.

So it basically reads, If (the condition is true) then do the thing you asked it to do

[waffles]

sorry choose conditional actions when you create a new action, then choose IF

[waffles]

What I posted above will be the first line
the 2nd line will be your ON action that you have now
last line will say END-IF which is a button in the main edit window

[nelsonh]

That works!

Thanks!!

I would like the Tone to continue until I disarm the HSM. How can I do that?

Here's an option you could try

Required Expression
HSM status is Armed Away

Trigger Events
Entry, exit, closet contact open

Actions to Run
On: Tone
Wait for event: HSM status is Disarmed
Off: Tone

Nice thought except the tone is Konnected Beep/Blink which is described as Actuator, Alarm, Switch, Momentary, Tone. When I went into devices and selected Tone then clicked on "On":

alarm off (boxed in red above) flashed on for a millisecond then back to off and I got 3 beeps.

I changed beep pause to 1000 ms (which I like) and beep repeat to 60. Now I got 1 minute of beeps which I cannot turn off early:

So I left beep pause at 1000 mg and turned off beep repeat so I get 3 beeps at 1 sec intervals.

Ok, I got it: I changed beep repeat to 1 under the tone device. I then created an action:
While (HSM status is Armed Away) Repeat 60 times every 0:00:01 (stoppable)
On: Tone
END-REP

This works!!
