Bwalarm (akasma74 edition)

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?

AhmadK · December 9, 2019, 8:10am

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.

tom_l · December 11, 2019, 2:30pm

Try:

initial_state: true

AhmadK · December 11, 2019, 3:11pm

I’d say “remove initial_state everywhere” but it won’t solve his issue

javiges · December 11, 2019, 8:48pm

the alarm does not work with the new version of ha 0.103

AhmadK · December 11, 2019, 9:16pm

Let’s not update to 0.103 until I sort it out.

ZyberSE · December 11, 2019, 9:51pm

I was naive enough to not check here first so I can confirm it’s not working on 0.103.0 Downgrading now…

sparkydave · December 11, 2019, 11:52pm

That’s correct. This is the only automation out of many that turns itself off.

Ok, will do. Thanks

AhmadK · December 12, 2019, 4:43pm

A new version that fixes this integration after updating HA to 0.103 is available.
I also adds a little bonus…

jes1417 · December 12, 2019, 5:56pm

Thank you for removing the panel_title!

AhmadK · December 12, 2019, 6:26pm

Glad it works for you.
I hope to get its look a bit better soon, currently playing with the bottom bit

Cress · December 12, 2019, 8:43pm

Next to updated working fine for me.

Gracias!!!
Thanks for you work

whyitsbob · December 12, 2019, 11:36pm

I installed the update and it works. But now I am locked out of the settings… Any ideas how to log in?

whyitsbob · December 13, 2019, 5:15am

I got it working again, I didn’t realize that I shouldn’t have replaced my bwalarm.yaml when updating.
Live and learn.

Vasco · December 13, 2019, 6:29am

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?

AhmadK · December 13, 2019, 8:18am

It’s in release notes. Basically, you can get rid of the panel’s title by setting it to empty string.

yes, as per Readme bwalarm.yaml is not in the same folder as the code.

argykaraz · December 13, 2019, 10:40am

For a long time I am seeing this in my logs:

Not passing an entity ID to a service to target all entities is deprecated. Update your call to alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away to be instead: entity_id: all

But I never bothered as it is working properly.
Is it a problem, or should I ignore it?
I am using the alarm card from Lovelace to arm and disarm if that helps.
I just updated to your latest version of the alarm, but I am still getting it.
