Trying not to recreate the wheel with Pistons and home security,


#1

Does anyone have a piston(s) that is geared towards home security? I’m new at this and require adult supervision.

I have Monoprice window & door sensors, First Alert smoke & carbon sensors and Ecolink Z-Wave Plus motion detectors. I’m also looking for a siren/chime – any recommendations?

I’m looking for thee modes, in all three modes the Smoke and the carbon detectors are always active and we will be notified if there is activity:
Away: the motion detectors, the window & door sensors are armed. If there is motion detected or if a door or window is opened they will sound a siren and we will receive a text.
Home: the system is off, but if a window or a door is opened we will hear a chime.
Night: the window & doors sensors are armed, but not the motion detectors. If a door or window is opened they will sound an siren and we will be text.

In each mode, we would be texted that a window or door was opened or there was motion in a room, we would always be notified if there was smoke or carbon detected.

We would like to have a chime to sound when we are home and someone opens a door or a window.

We would like a way to activate each mode via the ST app as well as speaking to Alexa, is this possible?

Than you in advance for your help.

If you have ST: Have you looked at Smart Home Monitor in the Classic app or SmartThings Home Monitor in the new SmartThings app? It can do most of what you are looking for.

ST support keeps telling me that the classic app is going to be discontinued and not to use it?
