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. I just don't know what to do y'all.Hi I am a complete beginner at home assistant and trying to create a panic button for my mother using a flic button. I would greatly appreciate any advice or just side gigs/hustles that I could do to make ends meet. I know I'm not the only one in this position right now but I don't know what else to do at this point. People in my life that I've tried to lean on for support just tell me to "get a fucking job" and I'm TRYING. I've been looking and applying for jobs every single day and haven't had any luck. After trimming the fat on my monthly subscriptions and expenses, I have about $520 due each month and I am freaking out because I can't pay at the moment. Now I'm out of a job and in full blown panic mode because I have absolutely no source of income. Needless to say, I told the dentist to go ahead with everything and get it out of the way while I still had insurance. I would've postponed it but my dental insurance expires on the 28th and I would've had to have been employed by the new place for at least 3 months before I would be able to get on their insurance. They let me go because I violated the attendance policy because I missed two days of work for dental work (root canal and deep cleaning) that I have a doctor's note for. I was just fired from a job that I wasn't even at for more than a week. maybe words of affirmation or encouragement.
