Alarm system

There's an integrated alarm system in NimHA. The alarm uses the different modules to watch your house and to perform actions.

Alarm status

The alarm has 5 different status:

1. Disarmed (disarmed)
2. Armed away (armAway)
3. Armed home (armHome)
4. Triggered (triggered)
5. Ringing (ringing)

You can activate 1-3 from the dashboard or from <domain>/code.

How to trigger the alarm

Currently you need to use your Xiaomi devices to trigger the alarm. In the Xiaomi page add a sensor, and set the Trigger alarm to either armAway or armHome.

Alarm settings

Inside the Alarm page, you can find the following settings.

Countdown

Currently not working

Arm time

The arm time defines the time before the alarm has been armed. If you set the "Arm time" to 20, then in the first 20 seconds after arming the alarm, the alarm can not be triggered. E.g. if you arm the alarm on a touchpanel inside your house and you need to get out.

Alarm password

You can define individual passwords for each user, so you don't have to share the password. This way you can monitor when and who entered the password.

Alarm actions

The alarm actions are your templates created in the other pages, e.g. mails, Pushbullets and Xiaomi actions. You can define on which status the action shall be performed.
