hello, following a recent burglary at my neighbors’ house I equipped myself with door and window contact sensors. I created scenes for each contact sensor; my issue is how to activate these scenes from a single command — a button or a command on the Dashboard,
I admit I’m a bit lost; there isn’t a trigger to enable or disable a scene which would be very useful
Just use a virtual MQTT button that you can place on your dashboard. Then add a condition after the trigger of your scenes to check the state of your button. If it’s 1 then you continue the scene!
personally I set up several scenes that trigger scenarios depending on whether it’s activated by badge or the alarm button on the Gladys page (handy for remote arming/disarming). It lets me start an exit delay before checking for open doors or windows. I also receive camera views for every arm/disarm, plus a voice on Google Home announcing a countdown.
Several months of operation and it feels pretty much like a commercial alarm, usable by other members of my family who simply use the badge or code keypad.
