I’ll see what i can do and touch on a few things.

At first they can be, but once you get the hand of it it’ll be a lot easier.
- For this youll need to create a “Device or Service Trigger” rule.
- Start by naming the rule (optional for i like doing this).
- then click on “If: Device and Service Trigger”. This will then allow you to choose your Patio V3, then choose which ever trigger you want (general motion detection, detect a person, etc).
- Next click on the “Do: Add Action”. This is what you want your camera to do immediately when it detects what ever you choose in the previous step as your “trigger”. Sounds like you want the spot light to turn on, and the siren to sound.
- If you want the rule to not have a time frame, then leave the bottom “When” unchecked. If you want a time frame that you want the rule to happen at (ex: only want the spotlight and siren to trigger to motion between 11p and 5 a, then click the toggle and choose the start and end time. This is different than the “scheduled rules” where the start and end times run a rule action at the start, then the opposite or inverse action at the end time.
More later as i have a meeting now at the top of the hour… ![]()
