Hi Nate, I have a problem with Entry/exit delay issue.
My understanding is that when I arrive home and unlock and open the door, the board is suppose to wait 60 sec (in my case) to give me time to disarm.
Well, the alarm is triggered immediately with a dismiss.
The door zone is set as Delayed(default) and the delayed time is set to 60 sec.
Many Thanks,
Hello, can I ask what the platform is that you are using? I am on Hubitat - in that case the logs are invaluable to isolate the issue and resolve the problem.
By reading further on the subject, I understand that Smartthings doesn’t offer the option. Going with Home Assistant would require a hub that is expensive. I don’t know Hubitat.
Have you confirmed that the entry/exit delay is properly enabled in the Hubitat setting, and are there any conflicting rules or automations that might interfere with this function?
Unfortunately, I don’t use Hubitat at the moment. So, can’t answer. My best wishes is that Smartthings does support the option.
You can create a virtual lock in SmartThings that Alexa can recognize as a trigger for an Alexa routine. In the Alexa routine, you can add a delay and then unlock the lock (using a custom Alexa action to enter the required code). The virtual lock unlocking can trigger another routine (Alexa or SmartThings) to be run.
I use it for our house sitter. She can arm the system from the ActionTiles panel or an Alexa voice command, and that sets a SmartThings scene that locks the virtual timer (lock). Alexa sees that timer being locked, and after the 10-minute delay, it sets the SmarThings scene to the Armed (away) scene.
