  • water_binary_sensors
  • fire_binary_sensors
  • fire_temperature_sensors
  • armed_home_image_processing_sensors
  • armed_away_image_processing_sensors
  • alarm_control_buttons
  • alarm_lights

  • auto arm if not home
  • vacation_control
  • guest_control

Thank you for sharing the latest version, I have been running the old version successfully for over a year.
There are few minor warnings in the new version though:

    return self.__translation[self.__language][msg]
  File "/conf/apps/alarm/newalarm.py", line 367, in translate
    msg = self.translate("water_alert").format(self.get_state(entity, attribute = "friendly_name"))

Hi, your Alarm System is the best I tested, I use it from three years. You are great!
I would set a time in wich it is automatically disarned.
E.g. I need the alarm was disarned every Friday from 14.00 to 17.00 to pernit cleaning lady to work. Then it automatically is arned at 17. 00.
Can you add this feature?

87

I solved myself using the ‘guest mode’ with an automation.

88

I saw you published a new version of Alarm_System in wich there isn’t support for xiaomi gateway, now you use Alexa to dispay lights and voice commands.
All notifications about alarm light colour, warning, flash warning, siren, etc… are related to alexa?

89

Sorry for the late reply. Alexa is only used for voice output. The flashing light should work with any light component. I also support any siren which is accessible as on off switch.

Btw. the guest mode was build exactly for cleaners and babysitters or other people without knowledge of the alarm system.
