How It Works

Opening a door starts a timer, if the timer hits 5 minutes while there is no motion detected then the first buzzer starts doing prealarm beeping to catch someones attention to close it before 10 minutes elapsed of the door open with no motion detected the 2nd buzzer kicks in and an email is sent.

Buzzers

Initialize the buzzers pin D13 & D11

#setup buzzer1
buzzer1 = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D13)

#setup buzzer2

buzzer1.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

#setup buzzer2
buzzer2 = digitalio.DigitalInOut(board.D11)
buzzer2.direction = digitalio.Direction.OUTPUT

Door Sensors

Setup Debouncer for both door switches pins D9 & D5. If once you install your alarm you realize that the doors are reversed, swap the pins for leftdoor and rightdoor.

Motion Sensor

Setup Debouncer for the motion sensor pin D6

Variables

start 1 & 2: is the "start" time of the timer
alarm 1 & 2: is based the state of the timer
feed names: door1, door2, motion, alarm and resolved

Door Logic

This section determines the state of the door, everything is repeated for the right door. If the door was closed (fell) then publish 1 then 0 to the door feed. If the door was opened (rose) publish 1 to door feed and reset start time. If the door is open do nothing and if the door is closed reset the start time.

Alarm resolution

This section checks if a door just closed, then if both doors are closed, then if an alarm is true, if it is all true then resolved feed is toggled to send the alarm resolved notification

Motion Sensor Logic

This section will only update the motion sensor if the alarms are not True, then it will update the motion sensor, if motion stopped publish 1 then 0 to motionfeed to make the graphs look nice. If motion was detected publish 1 to motionfeed and reset both start times.

Prealarm & Alarm Logic

If either door has been open for more than 5 minutes start beeping. then if either door has been open for more than 10 minutes activate the second buzzer and publish 1 to the alarm feed.
