#HA Green - Alexa Home Security System

I purchased a HA Green about 2 months ago and Im trying to complete my first project. I am trying to create a basic security system using motion sensors and Alexa. All motion sensors are connected, online, and reporting. HA, Alexa integration, and NabuCasa are up to date and connected.

In its basic form, I have three motion sensors (garage, living room, hallway). When I go to bed, I will arm the security system by saying "Alexa, Arm Security System". HA will perform a health check of the system to ensure all sensors are online, reporting, and battery levels are >20%. If all checks out, Alexa will arm the system and provide confirmation. I only plan to use the system at night therefore, I don't need a home/away mode; only arm/disarm.

In the event motion is detected during the night, the Alexa unit in our bedroom will raise the volume, play a buzzer sound, and say "Motion has been detected in the ____________ " (living room, garage, or hallway). I have configured 60 sec cool downs to keep Alexa from playing the message over and over if the motion continues.

In the mornings, I will tell Alexa to "Disarm security system" .

I have spent more time on this than I would like to admit. Can someone please review my YAML files along with the configuration file and provide some insight?

Thanks

At what point are you hitting issues - without looking at the yaml it sounds like 3 or 4 automations/scripts would handle what you are looking for

I think that with a HA Green maybe the local voice does not work properly 🤔

I've attached the YAMLs to the thread. I've tested Alexa Integration with NabuCasa using Dev Tools and Test Messages are working. When I arm the security system, nothing happens. Im not very proficient interpreting the Traces so I dont know exactly where its failing. Im not sure if its failing at the health check or what. Is there anywhere in this discord I can obtain professional paid services?
