Transitioned from IRIS this weekend. Still trying to get the hang of things. I only had to create about 25% of the amount of rules in Hubitat that I had in IRIS which shows how powerful Hubitat is. After installing Pushover for notifications, I have close to the same functionality I had with IRIS. So far I am very happy and Hubitat saved me tons of money on not having to replace all my IRIS V1 devices so thank you so much for that. Looking forward to what the future holds for Hubitat.
Any help with the below would be greatly appreciated, sorry for the long list.
- What is the best way to integrate a camera?
Any options for camera motion activated rule triggering such as turning on lights or recording video upon alarm activation. - I would like to receive a phone call/vociemail for all alarm alerts.
How do I do this? - Instead of failing to arm if a door is left open, is it possible to have the system arm itself and then notify you for what was left open instead of just failing to arm entirely?
- Is there a way to have an intrusion alarm automatically cancel itself after say 3 minutes and then re-arm itself to the previous armed state?
- If someone were to break into my house and damage or steal my Hubitat HUB, would I still be able to access my history to see what happened/when or would I be completely out of luck? Is history backed up in the Hubitat cloud?
- The history is hard to find specific events unless searching for a state as compared to IRIS. IRIS did not show temperature and battery updates in the history.
I am unable to filter events when using the dashboards, so searching events only works when local. When looking at "Show Past Logs" or the "Events" for a specific device, the events are being cluttered up by battery and temperature updates.
It would be nice if Hubitat had our logs/events pre-filtered to only show open/close, active/inactive, on/off, etc.... and then if we wanted to see the battery or temperature events we could unfilter those. All in time I hope. - Besides using an UPS any other ideas on a good battery backup solution?
Could I just use a portable power bank?
