Trying to disable an automation or three whenever we set the alarm control panel to “Armed Away”. Trying to catch the state_changed events in Developer Tools only allows specifying the state_changed event. Unfortunately, with many different sensors and entities everywhere, state change events are rolling in continuously.
Not really certain how to properly configure the automation, either. Do know how to disable the desired automation, the action is the easy part. Captured this state changed event when the alarm control panel is disarmed:
If you are looking for a list of all possible state values for an alarm_control_panel entity, it can be found here:
I assume you mean you want to include a State Condition that prevents a given automation from executing its action if the alarm control panel’s state value is armed_away.
Actually, for now, just want to disable one very specific automation whenever the alarm is armed away. Plan is to re-enable it whenever an automation fires based on an RFID tag being read.
