Smart Child Monitor - disforw


#1

Using the Smart Home Monitor switch I can set the system up as an advanced child monitor. If I am leaving a babysitter to watch the kids, I set it for ARMED/STAY which will send me a notification if the babysitter tries to open a door or lock. If I am leaving the kids home alone once they are sleeping I set it to ARMED/AWAY which will send a notification on any motion in the house.


Is my babysitter still at home?

I like this idea!! Thinking outside the box.

Only thing I would suggest is swapping the $shmstatus variable with the smart home monitor virtual device

Good stuff, but logically i am almost looking for the opposite which would be to make sure the house stays in babysitter mode if everyone leaves and then arm the house if there is no motion or contact event for 10 minutes after departure…

I think i’ve Officially complicated it.

@JDogg016 as promised, this was one of my very first pistons, so its very simple and crude but it works…
