Arming Alarm with Automation - Does not read secrets

Third party integrations
1

I am using the HACS integration for alarm.com. Recently HA has started to require a code to arm the alarm. (Yes, I can change the py file to not require this, but I like the idea of needing a code to disarm). When I try to arm the alam with an automation, I am trying to use the secrets.yaml to pull the code. When I try this, however, it throws an error that the yaml is incorrect.

service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_home
data:
  code: !secret alarm_code
target:
  entity_id: alarm_control_panel.panel

Is this an issue with the HACS integration not being able to see the secrets file?

If I just enter the code in the automation, it works just fine.

service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_home
data:
  code: 1234
target:
  entity_id: alarm_control_panel.panel

Just come across the same issue, did you find a fix?

Make sure you restart HA after adding a new !secret.
They have to be loaded into the OS in order to be available.
