Paradox and Olarm

[3Gee]

I've been using macrodroid on my Android phone for performing different automation tasks. Did the same with olarm. Enable olarm's API access, record the unique token it assigns and then create a scheduled macro in macrodroid to automatically arm and disarm my alarm.

Simple http post request:

https://apiv4.olarm.co/api/v4/devices/YOUR_DEVICE_ID/actions?accessToken=YOUR_TOKEN

with simple JSON body:

{
"actionCmd": "area-arm",
"actionNum": 1
}

to arm and

{
"actionCmd": "area-disarm",
"actionNum": 1
}

to disarm

What's the equivalent iOS app ?

Can you not use Shortcuts for something like that?

Okay, so ChatGTP says it is possible but you need to connect Olarm to Homekit via Homebridge. I'll look into that next year when I take a few days off.

Agreed... We stlll had guests late into the night and my staff wanted to go home so one of them was stuck until they had left... With a schedule setting we could have had the alarm activate at midnight or something. For what this kak cost an auto arm service should definately be an option.

But you can just arm it remotely on the app surely?

Sure. But i also need to get some sleep. I should be able to set a time for it to turn on such as by midnight or 1am when everyone is out of the various zones and off at 6am when kitchen staff come in.
