Aqara Hub - HomeKit - Alarm Control Panel Won't Arm

Ok, so I’ve running 0.110.3 and I’ve decided to try and add my Aqara Hub back into the system as I’ve seen there are significant improvements to the HomeKit Controller. I was very happy to see that my sensors are firing immediately now which is awesome (before it used to take a few seconds for HA to notice a change).

I can’t wait to start setting up automations using these new sensors but I’m having an issue whereby I can’t seem to activate the alarm. I press the button in Lovelace and nothing happens. I tried exposing the Alarm Panel to HomeKit and it doesn’t work either.

I checked the log files and I don’t see anything. Is there a way to debug what might be going on? Debug logging perhaps? I have no idea what could be causing this.

Yeah…so…embarrassed to say but I figure I’ll post it here for everyone else…

I had one of the windows open which was preventing the alarm from arming.

On a related note, the latest version of HA works awesome with the Aqara Hub in HomeKit mode. Super responsive, far faster than my hue motion sensors.
