This means that all your messages and locations will be shared between you and the circle members and not anyone else. However, it won’t send out your location to people outside your circle. Note that Life360 will notify the circle members about your location when your app is active. Now another question arises whether the app also knows about your real-time location. The texts sent between the members of the group can be tracked by the Life360 app. Would anyone know if there is some way to force a check on the motion sensor or something or any other ideas on getting this automation to run the way I would like.‘Yes’ because the devices are linked within the app. So the problem is, if the user cant get out of bed then the alarm will never activate at all. So this seems to work ok but if the motion sensor has not detected motion in the morning at all then the automation does not trigger a no motion response to initiate the automation at all. Message: 'ALLERT!: No motion has been detected at Myra''s home for 4 hours and alias: no motion with countdown timerĭevice_id: f78ea9b30d0b8e2fdc8a4e9def4d22c1Įntity_id: binary_sensor.kitchen_motion_sensor_ias_zoneĭevice_id: 94ba87cc044adaa79048cd4ce9e3ae8a

It also gives a text to speech waning in case its a false alarm giving the user the option to deactivate the alarm if its a false alarm. The automation is supposed to send me a Twilio message if it does not detect motion in the house within a space of 4 hours and the persons phone is located at home. So I’m not sure if I have left it too late to ask for help on with the “panic alarm” on this again but im having trouble with the motion aspect of the system.

So do you think the best solution of receiving some sort of notification on if there is no motion detected or the panic button is pressed would be either sending an email or using telegram to send an automated message? I think I have back tracked on the idea of it calling emergency services for the flic “panic button” as i would be worried about false alarms and guessing there is no way of testing to see if it works. With an email solution would you suggest setting up a new email account just dedicated for the panic system or do you mean there is a way of getting alerts from specific emails within my current email account? The motion sensors will have to set for a set time period so that it doesn’t go off while she is sleeping and thinking of integrating her phones location as a way of stopping the automation if she is not home. I currently have this set to send a notification to my phone but would rather get a message as I find notifications sometimes unreliable.

So far I have a number of motion sensors I am planning to install in rooms of her home and if none of these sensors detect motion within a number of hours then it will send me a message and I can give her a call and check in with her.

So the home assistant is setup on a pi and I’m planning on setting that up in her home once i have figured out how to get the panic system running. I was also considering the possibility of setting up an automation that would also set the users phone to loudspeaker and call the emergency services if the button is double pressed but not sure how possible this would be.Īdditional information that may be useful is that i have Node-RED add-on installed but unfamiliar with how to use it as well as the file editor add-on. If anyone has any advice or idea how I could implement this idea of a panic button that will send a text alert that includes the location i would be very grateful. I have never used home assistant before but decided that HA seems to be the best way of setting up this project.Īfter doing some research I found what seem a few options such as telegram, Pushover and pushbullet but not sure if am heading in the right direction or even how to get one of those set up.

I know this can be done using the flic app on android but I do not have a flic hub and don’t want to have to rely on the phones Bluetooth being on so want to go down the HA route. What I would like to do is have HA send a text message to my phone along with her location when the button is double clicked. I have the flic button running on HA using flicd an have been able to get the button to turn on lights with a double click of the button just as a test to see if the button works correctly.

Hi I am a complete beginner at home assistant and trying to create a panic button for my mother using a flic button.
