Security System

A Security System, that can be used to trigger an alarm and send notifications. Can be activated with a group of sensors using HomeKit automations.

Type	Service Type
55	Security System
56	Security System Simple mode

Standard HomeKit Security System has 4 states (Descriptions by @Unteins):

• Home: People at home, ignore some sensors like your front door sensor and your motion sensors because you’re coming and going through the house
• Away: No one at home, listen to ALL the sensors and sound alarms.
• Night: everyone should be inside, ignore motion sensors in the house because we might get a glass of water in the middle of the night but all door and window sensors should trigger alarms because no one should be going on and out.
• Off: self explanatory.

And HomeKit Security System Simple has only 2 states:

• Away
• OFF

The following configuration is available:

Section	Key	Description
Actions	"0", "1" etc.	The actions performed by the service
Service Notifications	"m"	Notifications to send by another service
Initial State	"s"	State an service enters on boot
Actions on Boot	"xa"	Enable / Disable execution of service actions on boot

Example

{
  "a": [{
    "t": 55,
    "s": 5,
    "es":[{
      "h": 2,
      "i": 1,
      "1": { "m": [ [ 1, 4 ] ] }
    }]
  }]
}

This is an example of a security system ("t": 55) with a hidden switch used to trigger alarm when security system is activated. If you want to use a standar switch visible in Apple Home App, remove "h":2.
