ok so add an option in rooms manager to speak the welcome home greeting either with contact closing or motion active? guessing left home announcement already works ok for you because its triggered by a time delay after presence sensor leaves?

#664

Yep. Took a bit but really enjoying the complexity I can do with room manager.

#665

code is in. will be available in the next release.

thanks for the idea.

#666

updated top post with new detailed documentation and wiki link for additional documentation.

sorry forgot to update here when i updated on the ST forum.

please update and give it a try with motion sensor instead of contact sensor for welcome home greeting.

#669

will do, need someone to leave and come back. will give update

#670

3 hrs and no ones left and come back yet? throw them out in the cold :wink: /jk

#671

it hasn’t worked, but I think it might have to do more with the “speakers” I use. I use chromecast DTH that allows me to play notification to my google minis around the house through webcore. Might not be compatible with your DTH.

#672

super cool, how?

#673

well if ST can play to the speaker the app will be able to play as well. where can i find this chromecast DTH you are using for this?

#682

General lighting question for a room:

Not sure if I am just missing it, but is there a way to set a rule to turn on a light when room is occupied at 15% and dim to 100% over x amount of time?
