Alarmo Card – Keypad not showing, only text input

Hello dear Home Assistant community,

I’ve been playing around with Home Assistant for a few months now and I have to say – it’s incredibly fun. I’ve already implemented it in two different locations and honestly, I’ve become a bit addicted to expanding it further and further.

Right now, I’m setting up everything for Alarmo. However, I’m really struggling with the Alarmo Card integration. I simply can’t get the keypad to show up. All I see on the card is a text input field for the code, but no keypad like in all the tutorials and screenshots I’ve seen.

Here’s what I tried so far:

  • Installed Alarmo and Alarmo-Card via HACS
  • Added the card via Lovelace UI and also via YAML (type: custom:alarmo-card, entity: alarm_control_panel.alarmo)
  • The entity works fine, I can arm/disarm via the default Lovelace alarm panel
  • But the keypad never appears, no matter what I try

Any hints or ideas would be very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance :pray:

Are you on the latest version of Home Assistant?

It’s currently broken, Alarmo still works well with the native Alarm Card.

The standard card is also very customizable with card_mod

I’m having the same issue - can’t get the keypad to show in the alarmo-card interface. Does anyone know if this is still “broken”, or if I’m doing something wrong? My configuration is shown in the screenshot below, and I think I’ve done everything I can to turn on the keypad so it’s always visible, but I can’t get it to appear at all. :frowning:

In case it helps, I’m running HA on a Raspberry Pi and installed Alarmo and Alarmo-card via HACS… and I think I’m running all the latest:

  • HA Core: 2025.11.2
  • HA Supervisor: 2025.11.2
  • HA Operating System: 16.3
  • HA Frontend: 20251105.0
  • HACS Integration version: 2.0.5
  • HACS Frontend version: 20250128065759
  • Alarmo v1.10.12
  • Alarmo-card v1.6.4

Thanks!
