πŸ“’ [Alarm] Keypad Frient (KEPZB-110) for Alarmo or Other Systems with ZHA

Hi Home Assistant Community! πŸ‘‹

I’m excited to share a new automation blueprint I’ve developed for the Frient Keypad (KEPZB-110). This blueprint allows you to manage multiple PIN codes to arm and disarm your alarm system (Alarmo or other supported systems) while synchronizing the status between the keypad and your alarm panel. It also supports RFID badges for quick arming/disarming without entering a PIN.

πŸ”‘ Features:

  • Multiple PIN Code Management: You can configure and manage different PIN codes for different users to arm/disarm the system.
  • RFID Badge Support: Use RFID badges to arm or disarm your system without having to input a PIN.
  • Synchronization: Keeps the alarm panel and Frient Keypad status in sync.
  • Multi-language Support (EN/FR): The blueprint supports both English and French!

❗ Important Note:

This blueprint is designed to work with ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) and is not compatible with Zigbee2MQTT. Please ensure your Frient Keypad is integrated via ZHA in Home Assistant.

πŸ› οΈ Installation:

  1. Click the button below to import the blueprint directly into your Home Assistant:
Import Blueprint
  1. Once imported, configure the Frient Keypad in your ZHA integration.
  2. Set up the same PIN codes in Alarmo (which also supports RFID badges) to sync the access control with the Frient Keypad.
  3. Start using the keypad to arm/disarm your alarm system!

πŸ’‘ How it Works:

  • When a valid PIN code or RFID badge is entered, the system will either arm or disarm based on the alarm mode selected (Home, Away, Night).
  • The Frient Keypad synchronizes with the alarm panel, so any changes made from the keypad will reflect on your alarm system and vice versa.

Thank you for the blueprint, I will try it out. Still figuring out alarmo and the frient keypad workings

First, thanks for sharing and taking the time to make this.

I might be doing something wrong, but can’t add the keybord under device. it says it cant find it, even tho it is really integrated in my home assistsant.

also it says i need to add RFID to be able to save, but i don’t use those

is it perhaps possible to add something for extra codes and extra tags to do different action(s)? for example opening the garage port wich i have a button for in HA now? But would like to give some people a tag to open my garage without having to give acces to the home assistant app

something like this:

I can can arm and disarm in Alarmo and it syncronizes with the keypad but the other way arround is only working for arming. If I disarm in the keypad te alarm remains active in Alarmo. This would be for me the most important action using the keypad so I hope someone knows why this is happening. I did remove alarmo and installed it again but no luck. The weird thing is that in HA the status for the keypad does change but somewhow it does not comunicate with Alarmo.

I have this exact same issue.

If however I remove the users from Alarmo under β€œCodes” I am able to disarm via the keypad. This is still not an option, because who wants an alarm that any burglar can disarm :slight_smile:

I have all the codes alligned

  • Code in ZHA integration is the same
  • Code in blueprint is the same
  • Code in user in Alarmo is the same

Does anyone know what we are doing wrong? :crossed_fingers:

Did you solve the issue @mail2vic?

Hi there,

I have a similar issue in my integration. For sure not an expert in programming or even HA. What happens is that the keypad works perfectly fine when used without the blueprint. I installed the blueprint to be able to use RFID tags. That also works, but as soon as I active the blueprint automation, I can disarm on the keypad without entering a code and without presenting the RFID tag. When I disable the blueprint automation, the keypad behaves as it should, but I cannot used RFID tags anymore. Any help is much appreciated. My alarm system is Eufy by the way.
