Hi, can you describe what functionality you are looking for? What does an alarm flow do for you?

Do you mean something like this -

> [@SMART home security](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/smart-home-security/1474):
>
> [Project that grew and grew](http://resources-area.co.uk/node-red-flows/it_grew_and_grew.pdf) The above link will take you to a tutorial about a project that grew and grew. It ended-up as the start of a SMART home security system. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed making it. Cheers from David.

Hi Nick  
i am looking for something real simple that can detect movement around my house and log it

so let's say if PIR sensor is tripped, it will count and if another movement is detected it will set off the alarm , i can do it myself , but i see there is an alarm node, so maybe someone can give me a working example

and if I have a chance to talk to you I just want to say thanks  
i love Node-red!!!
