ALARM PANEL MQTT state

Configuration
1

Hi, my home alarm system can be activate by it’s own keyboard and remote controller.

I can get an MQTT info about alarm state. Disarmed, Armed, Armed partially, in alarm and other additional info.
Using a simple relay joinded with ESP32 I can disarm it directly from HA using a ALARM PANEL → Relay → physical contact on the alarm mainboard. It works. But…
How can I use MQTT payload for teach HA that my alarm is armed ? I’d like to see in HA that the alarm is armed and putting code I can disarm it.

Tipical: I armed the alarm system from it’s remote control (not with HA).
Status in HA has to be ARMED. Info can come from MQTT

Till now too many hours studing without solution. Pleas give me ad idea!

What brand of alarm system you have ?

Hi, depending on the alarm panel you have, you may try one of these: Alarms – Coiaca

Hi, is an Aritech but it does not matter the brand. I get via MQTT information about the state. I want only modify Homeassistant Alarm panel in the same state as if I arm the system through it .

Are you sure about that?
I have amc Electronica x824 alarm. Its wired alarm. Im looking for solution to integrate this in my ha. Alarm is connected to the amc cloud and I can access it over app. Cloud connection use ssl.
How did you integrated your panel to ha?

Yes. Sure. This is not the point.
How can I change the HA Alarm Panel status using automation with condition coming from MQTT ?

This code start the procedure to arm the system if MQTT is calling.
I don’t want to start the procedure, I want onlt change the state to armed_away.

Oh this is not the point?
Take your attitude elsewhere.

sorry, don’t misunderstand. “not the point” just because we can discuss how to integrate a particular device, but with this topic I would like to better understand how to drive HA Alarm Panel. It doesn’t matter who, how, when sent the payload to MQTT. This is the start.
I certainly didn’t mean to be rude!

I know that integration of alarm system is not a topic here. I don’t know answer to your question.
As you integrated wired alarm to ha I was just asking you how did you do it. I’m interesting in integrating my alarm system in ha but didn’t find a solution.
That’s all.

Alarm system wired has input (sensors) and output (siren, light) and other (insert contact for electronic keys, remote controls etc.)
Well, I used an ESP32 to works as input, output, alarm arm, alarm disarm, Of course I programmed some free contact on the main board to serve it. Very easy and cheap.
To be perfect I have to find a solution to show in home assistant the real state of wired alarm system in case I arm it using it’s keyboards or remote controls.

Ok. I installed and connected my alarm system by myself so I learned somerhing about it. Can you make some tutorial, when you get the time, on how you done it.

Hi I have also an AMC alarm, can you share more info about your project ? Thanks
