How to create routine with the switching house to Away as the action

[mkomosa]

I am trying to create a routine that when our SimpliSafe is armed to Away it triggers the action for the house to switch to Away. I have the SimpliSafe system added as a device to be used as a starter. However, I cannot figure out how to create the house switching to Away as the action.

We ultimately want to use the SimpliSafe arming to Away as a trigger to set the house to Away, which then will trigger lights to turn off and the MyQ garage door to close after a 15 minute delay

Hi @mkomosa,

Thank you for posting in the community. I understand you're looking to create a routine to set your SimpliSafe device(s) from "Home" to "Away." I'd be happy to assist you.

Were you able to arm your SimpliSafe device(s) using only routines or Home/Away Assist features separately?

When setting up routines or the Home/Away Assist feature, it is not recommended to have both active. This can lead to conflicting actions as the system will attempt to switch based on both the schedule and Home/Away Assist. This can cause confusing behavior, so I recommend that you don’t set a schedule if your devices are set up with Home/Away Assist.

If you're unable to set these features, please note that we do not provide support for your SimpliSafe device(s). We can point you in the right direction. Our friends at SimpliSafe are the perfect folks to help you with it.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Regards,

Anders

I'm not trying to set the SimpliSafe device from Home to Away. I am trying to use the Simplisafe device to trigger the action of the Google Home Assist to go to "Away". I can't figure out a way to set the Home/Away assist status as an action in a routine.
