Looking at it, I think I can skip the WhoArrived Variable under the first condition and change the other variable to say “Welcome Back Tracey” +random(blah, blah, blah).

Out of interest - what happens when two people come home at the same time? Does it play both or get confused?

I’ve just used that Followed By for a sequential sensor activation alarm piston.
If it works that’ll be great.
Many thanks for the assistance.
Have a fine day and a very happy new year.

That allows me to switch between two different events. If someone is arriving, it’ll play welcoming statements (if it’s me, it’ll play the Star Wars theme 
). If the door is simply opened with no arrival, it’ll play different statements.
As far as multiple people, it just greets the first person, since the Arrival switch is turned off after that. I’ve considered instituting a pause to search for other people, but haven’t gotten around to it it.

That is my exact issue, if multiple people come home at the same time it announces same presence sensor but 3 different messages…

A whole car full of people may arrive home at the same second, but each individual person will be recognized by your SmartHome one by one.
With current technology, it is impossible to detect everyone at the same instant.

If you’re using the piston in this thread, and since there’s a section for each person, then change $currenteventdevice in each section to the name of each person in each section. That might help.
