So I use the manual control panel, and have various automations like this to arm it:
# if away on alarm keypad used
# - arm the alarm
- alias: "Alarm Keypad Away"
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.zipato_hallway_keypad_alarm_level
to: '255'
action:
- service: homeassistant.turn_on
entity_id: switch.zipato_hallway_keypad_switch
- service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
data:
code: !secret alarm_panel_code
But how can I arm using Alexa? You can’t have an automation without a trigger and Alexa needs to call a device/automation.
