Can I turn these ideas into HomeKit Automations?

Cupertino, February 8, 2024

I recently bought a TV thinking that TV+ would be among the compatible apps, but unfortunately I was wrong. However, since the TV is fantastic, I decided to keep it anyway and buy an Apple TV. I would like to take this opportunity to use HomeKit for automations. Currently, I only have Philips Hue products, but I have a few things in mind and wanted to know if my ideas are feasible: ​ I have Hue contact sensors, but unfortunately Philips Hue does not have an option to automatically trigger the alarm; instead, it sends you a useless notification and then you can manually activate the alarm from the app.​ Is it possible to create an automation that activates at a set time, and if the sensor detects that a window or door is open, lights a certain color continuously? And maybe also play a sound on every Alexa device in the house.​ Additionally, I would like to automatically arm the alarm when I leave the house and disarm it when I return based on my phone's location, or even better, only when no one is home, I guess you can add family members. at your home in homekit? It would also be nice to be able to turn off the alarm using a physical button; in case someone opens a window or front door at night, I have a Philips Hue Tap Dial with 4 buttons; could i assign a button to turn the alarm on and off?
