@aechelon, I checked again that I could login with my uid and pwd, that works and it only sees the one panel.
I put the uid and pwd direct in the configuration.yaml and commented out the secret calls.
I am getting this, though I use to at least get the status. Tried pulling from HACS again as well.

The version of HA I am running is 0.106.6 if that matters…
UPDATE: I was able to get this working by commenting everything out and starting from just the first 3 parameters @aechelon. I think the issue is I cut and paste the force_bypass, no_entry_delay and silent_alarming from the git page and there must be some hidden characters that it doesn’t like.
Did you ever get a resolution to this? I am now getting this same exact error after upgrading from 0.104 to 0.107:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I’ve been unable to find any other recent reports of this, nor was anything listed in breaking changes for 0.105-0.107 that I could find. I tried removing the integration in configuration.yaml, rebooting, adding back and rebooting again, but I still have the same result. Nothing else changed with my config other than the upgrade, but my alarm status is tied to a number of other automations, so I’d love to find out if someone else has experienced this and what the solution might be.
@aechelon, thanks for reply, my system connected via wifi and LTE, I am able to see with in a couple of second the sensor changes in the alarm.com app and alarm.com website, but not in home assistant developer tools section. But when I arm or disarmed on the alarm panel, I am able to see the changes with in 20 second in the home assistant.
I am getting something similar. Have verified user/pass, have commented out !secret and added directly to config to ensure… no clue:

Error executing Arm+Stay, logging in and trying again...
UPDATE: Got it working, not entirely sure what I did but it seems to be related to some of the optional parameters. Also can’t get code to work in config… which is fine, not hard to type it in.
UPDATE 2: My idiocy… did not realize that the code parameter was separate from the code on alarm.com
I have an ethernet add on to my alarm in addition to the cellular connection and I’m in a similar boat. Sensors are very slow to update (door is usually closed before the open registers, unless a door is left open for like 30 seconds to a minute. However, Arming and disarming is darn near instantaneous.
I have tried, but it did not do anything, still same. what I see, when I open the door, the home assistant and alarm.com website detected the door opened after 30 sec to one minute, when I close the door it detected with in 30 second. however when I open the door again with in 30 second the home assistant and alarm.com website not even detected the door was opened until 2 mins or more. My alarm monitoring company is Stanley security, I don’t know who do I speak with Stanley or alarm.com about the alarm sensor status sync issue with alarm.com web site.
Just my experience. With the old integration, I got alerts from both alarm.com and home assistant when doors were left open. The alarm.com notification, while not instantaneous, was always quicker than the home assistant one. The home assistant one was anywhere between 15 to 30 seconds after the alarm.com one. My point being, I don’t think these sensors are meant, even at the alarm.com level to detect a quick open and close. They are more for detecting when a door is left open.
I also have noticed that alarm/disarm is MUCH more responsive with the new alarmdotcomajax custom integration. I think you need to realize that it is what it is. The sensors read the state of the alarm.com entity. So, the alarm.com entity needs to update and then the sensor needs to read the info, update, and then do whatever.
I am very happy with the recent improvements in the custom integration and am hopeful it with make it into Home Assistant as a full integration. Thank you
I was actually going to post something similar. Agree with all of it.
If I wanted to know INSTANTANEOUS opens/closes, personally, I would invest in additional (duplicate?) sensors (Zwave?) for the doors / locations I cared most about.
Some people build entire alarms w/ ONLY this method. Personally, I’m with @pdobrien3 and enjoy the automations I create where I can arm at night if I forget, or in the morning if I forget after I leave for work, or give me alerts if a door has been left open for too long. Anyhow, just my $.02 and I enjoy / understand / use it for what it is.
Hello Thank you for help. Unfortunately, after adding the custom component through HACS and restarting the alarm panel doesn’t show among the entities. Nor I can added to Lovelace.
Here is my config:
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: alarmdotcomajax
username: user
password: pass
name: Alarm.com
Please note previously I just lost my integration after updating to 0.107 hence now I am trying the custom integration.
Currently running 106.2 and looking to upgrade to 107.7 - ran the Check Home Assistant configuration App and received the following errors:

General Errors:
- Platform error alarm_control_panel.alarmdotcomajax - Requirements for alarmdotcomajax not found: ['pyalarmdotcomajax==0.1.2'].
Running on a NUC Ubuntu/Docker setup. Integration is running / behaving just fine, so unsure if this will be an issue if I try to upgrade.
