You can't have a condition (hence a rule) for something that has no enduring state. So an HSM Alert is a good example. Another example is Certain Time, or Periodic.
By the same reasoning you can't have a trigger on things that require having state, such as Time of Day or Days of Week, as there is no test done on the state in a trigger.
I need an IP enabled speaker though. Don't have Sonos or other unfortunately. I will reward the family with that someday.
No speaker needed. The custom driver for Pushbullet that I mentioned just uses the "Speak" function of the Audio Alert (On this speech device) to send the notification through Pushbullet's API to your devices (mobile phone, etc) as push notifications.
Cool! I will then use an old phone connected to a speaker. Come to think of it, that would work for IP alerts wouldn't it?
It will not send an actual audio alert to the speaker (except maybe a ding or whatever the device is configured to do when it receives a notification). It just uses "Audio Alert" as a way to send a text based alert to the device. (that said, I do real audio speech notifications as well using an Android device and the LANnouncer device driver that I adapted from the other platform).
I use the Pushbullet driver as a workaround to the limit of 10 SMS per day. I just send all of my notifications to my push bullet devices using the Audio Alert / speak function of the PushBullet device driver. Pushbullet then sends a push notification with text to my phone and other devices that I have configured.
This is basically what the earlier mentioned Pushover notification does as well. I tried Pushover and it was nice, but not free and I already had Pushbullet, so I adapted a driver to work with Hubitat for it.
Anyway, were probably hijacking this topic with discussion solely about Pushbullet. Please PM me or discuss at the custom driver link I posted so we don't hijack this thread.
I am not getting any notification.
I am also a bit confused about "Armed-Home" and "Armed-Away". Does either one need to be turned "ON" for the safety monitor to be active?
I set it to "Armed-Home" when I was doing the testing.
What if I want the safety monitoring to be ON all the time regardless of what mode?
How can I do that?
TIA
Armed away normally monitors all sensors,
Armed home monitors mainly contact sensors such as doors and windows
Armed-Home and Armed-Away have nothing to do with the mode your system is in. These are just two different HSM monitoring situations. The concept is that for Armed-Away you would want alerts for motion in your home, since in theory no one should be causing motion (might not work with pets). For Armed-Home, motion sensors would not be used for Alerts.
Also, you can use custom monitoring rules to be very specific about what you want to be alerted for. To get alerts, something will need to be "armed", either Armed-Away or Armed-Home, or custom monitoring rules. Arming enables the alerts, while disarming suppresses the alerts.
Thanks. Is this true for Water Leak detection?
I have set up multiple water leak sensors, and "Use Every Water Sensor" is ON.
And I have set up Text Alert to +1XXXXXXXXXX of my phone (I am in Canada), and I am not getting any text messages notifications. Tried with Armed-Home, Armed-Away and both off.
Anything else I can do to troubleshoot why I am not getting the notifications?
Firmware 1.0.9.118
Water alerts are independent of Armed-Away and Armed-Home, as are Smoke alerts. These are automatically armed. They can be disarmed by selecting Disarm All. Otherwise, they should fire.
Have you verified that the water sensors are in fact working? Take a look at their events log, and turn on description logging in the device details page.

2 Questions;
If the answer to both the above is No, this feature is severley limited for non-NA users.
I will find out the answer about text messages in AUS. You are correct about the instructions insinuating something. Sending an email has been discussed a lot, it just hasn't risen to the top of the list. Also, does Pushover work there? That's another option for getting push notifications. Our own mobile app with notifications is on the horizon, not too far off.
You should check out SharpTools.io. It can send an email, and is integrated with Hubitat as a built-in app.
I'm getting txt alerts from HSM in AUS. 
Not sure about pushover, I will check it out and get back to you. Not really urgent, so happy to wait for the HE app on the horizon. Email would actually be more useful. I will check out SharpTools.io. Thanks for the tip.
Thanks @njanda, good to know the country code can be used instead of just +1.
@bravenel, will the in-house solution have a 10 text/day limit? If not, any other limits?
@josh from Sharptools.io said they doesn't have a limit of text messages, you can use that for now until the in house solution is available, but I don't know if Australia numbers will work. He should reply soon.
The SharpTools.io SMS provider is US/Canada only, but as you mentioned we don't have a limit on message count at this point (please keep it reasonable though 
). We are looking into alternative international SMS provider, but in the meantime you can use Pushbullet or Email as a notification option as Bruce mentioned.
Current SMS is "in house", and it has the 10 text/day limit. Pushover, and later our own notifications, have no effective limit.
