Thanks for the quick response! Its not that big of a deal only a mild nuisance. I would use it with out code but its for an office so I would like to check who is setting the alarm at nights.
I played wit the the code and have to say that it won’t work if you just define an empty panel_title BUT it’s relatively easy to make the panel not to display the title, I already have a working version (as I mentioned earlier, it’s still does not look great because of that bottom bit, will look into it as well when I have time).
Hope to include this tweak in the next release so stay tuned

Thank you for your time in keeping this alive!
Sorry to bother, I couldn’t find anything regarding my following question.
Now, I have enabled hide_sidebar feature and it works great. But I would like to “unhide” it when it’s unarmed to regain full control of my HassIO dashboard.
Any way you, or obviously anyone else reading this, can help me accomplish this?
To be honest, I don’t see much of sense in that hide_sidebar feature running HA 0.102 (i.e not 0.85 or similar) on my tablet as I have “Always hide the sidebar” in HA settings for that user.
Just swipe your screen (or click and drag your mouse) from left edge of the screen.
I know I asked this previously but I never did get it sorted out and just now trying to close out some ongoing HA issues. I find that my alarm warning automation keeps getting turned off somehow. It’s not being caused by HA restarts as I have confirmed that it happens without a restart (so initial_state: 'on' is not the issue here, which is set anyway). This is my only automation that isn’t keeping it’s state over time. My thinking is that it’s happening when I arm / disarm the alarm system. Searching my config files finds absolutely no code to cause this behaviour. Is anyone else noticing this as well?
My automation.yaml only contains code for this alarm as all my other automations are in packages.

Any ideas? Based on the above code it can only be occurring due to the alarm code in the custom_component as far as I can tell…?
I have similar automations and they all seem to work and stay on.
Do I get it right that only the last automation alarm_warning becomes off by itself?
I think there is nothing to do with the integration and would suggest you to create a new topic in Configuration so we could focus on debugging the issue there.
Try:
initial_state: true
I’d say “remove initial_state everywhere” but it won’t solve his issue 
the alarm does not work with the new version of ha 0.103
Let’s not update to 0.103 until I sort it out.
I was naive enough to not check here first so I can confirm it’s not working on 0.103.0 
Downgrading now…
That’s correct. This is the only automation out of many that turns itself off.
Ok, will do. Thanks
A new version that fixes this integration after updating HA to 0.103 is available.
I also adds a little bonus…

Thank you for removing the panel_title!
Glad it works for you.
I hope to get its look a bit better soon, currently playing with the bottom bit
Next to updated working fine for me.
Gracias!!!
Thanks for you work
I installed the update and it works. But now I am locked out of the settings… Any ideas how to log in?
I got it working again, I didn’t realize that I shouldn’t have replaced my bwalarm.yaml when updating.
Live and learn.

Thanks for the fix! Works like a charm again. Question though, I didn’t notice anything different. Maybe because I use it for just a few days. What’s the bonus exactly?
