Can someone help me understand if I’ve done the right thing
I’ve got a detached garage. It can be accessed either from a side door or from the actual garage door.
I’ve got a V2 cam, a motion sensor and a contact sensor in the garage.
At the moment when I come up I get an instant notification that the door is open, then about 10s later a motion sensor alert from the camera. I’ve muted notifications from the motion sensor specifically during certain times.
What I’d like to do is ONLY get a motion sensor alert if the garage door is closed, because it means someone/something has entered through the side door.
I created a rule that says
WHEN - garage door closes
DO - turn on motion detection camera
But I’ve also got two rules
One that mutes all notifications during a 45min window when my wife and I are leaving for work in the morning
One that unmutes ALL notifications between 9pm and 730am in case anything happens in the garage
I feel like these rules may be overlapping and conflicting
What I’m trying to do is minimize alerts (I get so many) without potentially crippling the recording capabilities of the devices.
TL;DR
When I come home, just one alert saying the door opened. Then when it closes everything goes silent unless someone moves in the garage
In the mornings, no alerts while we’re leaving for work
In the night, ALL notifications so that anything that happens in the garage, I know about
