Fixed everything for me. Thanks for the update.
can anyone please help me. I installed bwalarm but I am not seeing it in integrations or in the lovelace cards. I installed it via HACS nad followed this guide GitHub - akasma74/Hass-Custom-Alarm: It is a fork of "Yet another take on a home assistant cu
but I cannot get it working.
The web interface is broken. You have to edit the config/alarm.yaml file. Option details are here:
The 2021.10.0b2 version of home assistant breaks bwalarm.
New beta 2021.12.01b breaks this integration again

Going to roll back HA for now 
@jes1417 thanks for letting me know but itās better to create a new bug report on Github (I suspect thereās one already but I havenāt dealt with it yet).
Will look into it as soon as possible.
I will create one, just wanted to post here to save anyone else the trouble of downgrading.
Thanksā¦ Happened for me as well, when I updated yesterday to the latest stable 2021.12.

Iāve created (bodged) a temporary fix which works for me on both 2021.11 and 2021.12. See the github post for details:- HA beta 2021.12.0b1 breaks integration Ā· Issue #136 Ā· akasma74/Hass-Custom-Alarm Ā· GitHub
The fix for HA newer than 2021.11 is ready.
Bear in mind I havenāt tested it on the recent versions but it should work fine, just made it compatible with older HA versions as well.
Sorry for the delay and have a great Christmas!

Wow. I started a hacky little alarm thing back in the day and used my initials (bw). Iām surprised to still see the initials still there as this has grown way beyond anything I wrote. Iām glad some others were able to run with it.

yeah, you never knowā¦ itās a good stuff mate!
Hi All,
Are we able to use the UI again now, or is it only configurable from the YAML?
Sorry mate, out of the box GUI is not available.
However, I know for sure that some people used information posted earlier in this topic to create a custom card to control the alarm.
Hope that helps.
Thanks @AhmadK. I scrolled through the thread and canāt find it. I see people are using the built in card to arm/disarm, but not for config.
If anyone has built a config card, I would be thankful if you could share!
Well, the thing is that configuration was part of the original UI as well as logs, arming etc.
You are right, people are using custom cards to operate the alarm but there is no substitution to the original UI configurator at the moment so yes, the only way to do that is by editing its YAML config.
The upside is you normally need to do it once
