I now have an alarm system that integrates with alarm.com. It’s successfully connected to Home Assistant, but all I see is the disarm/arm icon at the top of my Overview page. I’ve searched a bit to get an idea of what’s possible with the alarm.com component, but I can’t seem to find any other visuals or overviews of what it can do.
So far, I’ve only been able to get it to show status, alarm, and disarm. Does the connection allow it to do anything else?
e.g. Could I control my MyQ garage door to Home Assistant through Alarm.com? Or do I need to leave that component directly connected to Home Assistant?
Just trying to understand what information and controls flow from alarm.com to Home Assistant as it seems like far more info should be available in HA.
I gave up on any hope of Alarm.com working better than the standard control panel. So I just use alarm.com for arm/disarm and then have sensors/control outside of that system.
As an alternative, you could find a system connection to report the sensor data into HA. I have a Concord 4 system, so I found a RS232 adapter that I could add (and then convert to USB), but I decided it was easier to just put additional sensors out that connects directly to HA.
