*** Simple Rule wont Chime...

[Mp333]

I have a simple rule setup where every time the door is closed the chime would go on, but for some reason it does not work. I have tried changing the chime to Siren and it works. By default the chime only works when you open the door.
 
Whenever the front Entry door becomes secure
Then set chime to Ding only in Area1.
 
Am I missing something???

Try
 
         WHENEVER Front Entry Door (Zn x) BECOMES SECURE
               THEN START KEYPAD BEEPS IN Main Residence (Area 1)
               THEN STOP KEYPAD BEEPS IN Main Residence (Area 1)
 
You may need to separate this into two rules with some rules in between to actually get some beeps.

Thanks jpmargis.

I tried no go. There need's to be a delay between the two rules. Not sure how to add one.
They work individually but they both null out the end result and you get nothing......

I thought that might be the case.  So we can use counters to get a delay.
 
 WHENEVER Front Entry Door (Zn x) BECOMES SECURE
               THEN START KEYPAD BEEPS IN Main Residence (Area 1)
               THEN SET Beep Counter (Counter y) TO 1
 
WHENEVER Beep Counter (Counter y) CHANGES TO A VALUE GREATER THAN 0
              THEN ADD 1 TO Beep Counter (Counter y)
 
WHENEVER Beep Counter (Counter y) CHANGES TO 100
               THEN STOP KEYPAD BEEPS IN Main Residence (Area 1)
               THEN SET Beep Counter (Counter y) TO 0
 
You may need to fine tune the "stop beeps" counter to get the desired effect.
