Please add the option to set an alarm when an Event occurs in a specific time frame.

Howdy,

It would be nice to have an option to set an alarm for when an event occurs between a specific time frame.

For example, we shouldn't really expect to see a Person between 12:00am and 4:00am. The little notification isn't enough to wake someone up, so if we could have Home trigger an alarm it would help out quite a bit.

Have you tried using the routine builder AI?

Something like:

- starters:
- type: device.event.MotionDetection
device: Door camera
condition:
type: and
conditions:
- type: time.between
after: 02:00
before: 04:00
- type: device.state.MotionDetection
device: Door camera
state: motionDetectionEventInProgress
is: true
actions:
- type: assistant.command.Broadcast
devices:
- Bedroom speaker - Bedroom
message: Someone is outside!

While this might be a stop-gap this is overly complicated for a normie.

It's honestly not as bad as you think. I didn't "code" any of that, I just typed into the AI builder:

Broadcast the message "someone is outside" on bedroom speaker if the doorbell camera detects motion between 2 and 4am

That was literally it, the AI makes the code.
