A different take on an alarm system

I’d like to trigger a notification that displays the friendly_name of the sensor that triggered the alarm. states.alarm_control_panel.house.attributes.changed_by gives me the sensor name.

Is there a way to retrieve the friendly_name of that sensor to display in a notification’s message?

Hi ,
After upgrading to 39.0 from 38.0 the alarm panel on the sidebar is not showing, I’m getting the running circle.
Any idea why?
Thanks.

23

same here, since the upgrade the panel doesn’t get loaded, just a spinning circle.

24

It’s due to

25

Is there a workaround to make it work again?

26

Is there a way to adapt the code to 39.x?

27

I’m sure it’s possible, but I don’t know how to do it.

28

Many thanks for this and I love the concept!I am really keen to implement this, are there any plan to continue with it and fix the errors?

29

Ideally this should replace the built in manual alarm panel!

After upgrading HASS to 0.41, I’m getting following error, anyone else getting this?

Fully agree. This is the alarm most of us need or want. Someone please code this into the manual alarm platform! :slight_smile:

I would suggest to upvote Manual Alarm and get some kind soul (maybe @pvizeli ?) to integrate the changes done in https://github.com/drytoastman/haconfig/blob/master/custom_components/alarm_control_panel/bwalarm.py in a backwards compatible way? :slight_smile:

Did you manage to solve this problem as I getting it also?

36

I dont believe anyone has since the newer versions of HASS. I guess I am just wondering if it is a minor coding change or a fundamental rewrite of his bwalarm.py
In other words is it even fixable? I took a stab at seeing where the issue was but was not able to solve with my limited knowledge of python.

The issue is just with the alarm panel. The component works fine, all my automation based on the alarm status are all working as expected.

So the fix would be to migrate to the new “standard” the HTML panel code.

It will be great if someone could migrate it to the new “standard”
