I'm new to Hubitat and am currently working on standing up all connections, integrations and whatnot to ensure I'm then able to efficiently manage my home and security via Dashboards.
So far, I was able to get Ring synchronized to Hubitat and it works pretty well. My only issue is that when I use HSM to arm Away and I setup a Delay, it takes 60 seconds before it sends the command to Ring which then has another 60 second delay built in.
However, if I arm Ring Away it starts the HSM Countdown right away. So I'm clearly missing a step in the HSM to Ring Rule that will trigger the Ring countdown at the same time as the HSM countdown is triggered.
Here is my current rule. I tried setting the HSM Away delay to 0 but adding a delay in the rule, however the countdown in the dashboard does not work with this methodology and it simply arms it instantly.
For anyone running into the same issue, the Trigger Events is HSM Status reports Delayed Arming Away rather than Armed Away.
This will allow the rule to set Ring's Hub to Away at the same time as HSM and if you set the delay timer to 90 seconds on both sides, they'll arm concurrently.
Yeah I'm pretty aware, the end-goal is to be able to control my actual alarm system through Hubitat. The only option is by synchronizing HSM or simply trashing the idea of Hubitat as my main dashboard and go with something else like the Echo Hub from Amazon Alexa.
Hello, I’m fairly new to Hubitat. I’m trying to mirror your Rule for Hubitat to switch my Ring Alarm modes too. I’ve got the virtual stuff set up but I’m at a loss how to input the Actions you have listed. I’ve invested a lot of hours to no avail. Can you please advise me how this is done? Thanks in advance!
Do you mind sharing a screenshot of how your rule is setup and expanding a bit on what you're trying to achieve?
I ended up removing the Ring integration and going with an Echo Hub from Amazon but I did get to a point where I had both systems synchronized. It should be fairly simple if you have HSM installed.
Hi, Honestly, I didn’t get far. I couldn’t figure out how you entered the 3 commands in the Action section. My end game is to add this function to my Home Secure routine to sync my new Ring Alarm in Away mode. I’ve taken my screenshots per your request. Thanks for your assistance!
Great to hear! Glad I could help, I remember it being a headache trying to figure out how to properly synch these.
The other two components of my rule were just virtual switches that I used for my dashboard. So if the Away Mode is on, the three switches will show Away - ON, Home - OFF and Disarmed - OFF.
That's another way to keep track of the status of the alarm hub.
