Hello Everyone
I have 27 sensors connected from Delta Dore/Tydom to Home Assistant via MQTT who are not discovered by Alarmo…
Sensor type : open/locked (integrate into the door & window of the house)
Manufacturer : Delta Dore / Tydom
Home assistant sensor well see when door or window are locked or not.
Anyone gave same type of issue ?
Hi everyone,
I have to get in touch here because of a few questions about ALARMO.
But first of all, a big compliment and thanks for this integration and the work that has been put into it. I think it’s great to be able to have such an integration in Home Assistant
But…
I have already installed and configured ALARMO and it is already running in a minimal configuration as an alarm system for our house. Everything is fine up to this point, but I am totally confused in some places and most of all with the notification via TELEGRAM.
I have found a few posts on the internet where TELEGRAM seems to be integrated into the ALARMO notifications, because the TELEGRAM service was available and selectable in the ALARMO notifications. On other places, I have read that the TELEGRAM service was suddenly no longer available in ALARMO, but could be solve by adding the necessary lines of code to the ALARMO notification via YAML and the notification via TELEGRAM still worked.
And for me…, nothing, unfortunately nothing at all.
The TELEGRAM service does not appear when I configure a notification in ALARMO. Adding the TELEGRAM lines in the yaml code of the ALARMO notification does not help me either, it is simply not accepted in ALARMO and an error appears regarding the service.
In short, I simply cannot use TELEGRAM in ALARMO.
I have somehow managed to do it using a helper, but I don’t really like it.
The main reason that I don’t think my current solution using a helper is so great is that I am missing some options that I have in the notifications created natively in ALARMO.
For example, the user name stored behind the PIN code can be sent in notifications when activating, deactivating, triggering, etc., as well as the sensor name that caused the triggering…
Another point that caught my attention is the lack of a status in Home Assistant for “failed armed”, which would also be a useful information I wanna send via notification.
This currently doesn’t seem to be possible at all in ALARMO, not even in a notification created in ALARMO…, because this status is simply not available for selection.
I’m kind of caught between two stools now, because on the one hand I really like the ALARMO integration and want to continue using it to its full extent, but on the other hand I want to send all my Home Assistant notifications via Telegram, as I have done so far.
In desperation, because I don’t know whether the missing TELEGRAM service in ALARMO is a bug or a missing function, I have already created a “bug report” on Github…, but so far without any feedback.
It would be great and I would be very grateful if anyone could shed some light on this fog
Thank you for any information and help I can get.
Hi,
there is a way to get the notification also when the device is locked? I can’t get the notification util I unlock my android phone. With the “traditional automation” in HA I configure something like that
color: "#2DF56D"
ttl: 0
priority: high
channel: motion
importance: high
vibrationPattern: 100, 1000, 100, 1000, 100
ledColor: red
how I can achieve the same result with Alarmo builtin notification?
Is possible to add the Cover entities to show on alarmo like sensors? i want to add my garage doors if someone tryes to break in from there, try to open the door by force
Hi - I am having issues getting the MQTT interface to work. I have tried to follow GitHub - nielsfaber/alarmo: Easy to use alarm system integration for Home Assistant but I am not having any luck. I am trying to get my alarm keypad KEPZB-110 to work via Node red and Alarmo.
I am sending the command {"command":"ARM_AWAY","code":"1234"} to the MQTT topic “alarmo/command” but nothing happens. I can arm alarmo from Hassio so I figure my commands are being ignored from Alarmo. Proberply something really simple but I just can seem to figure out what is missing. MQTT is enabled and the command topic is set to “alarmo/command”. The code is required to be sent along (set the flag) and all pre-requsits are met (doors closed etc.).
What am I missing? 
Are you using the HA app on your phone for the notifications? It should work fine when locked.
This is what I have in Alarmo:
service: notify.mobile_phones
data:
title: ""
message: The alarm is set to {{arm_mode}}
data:
ttl: 0
priority: high
car_ui: true
Something I was wondering about. What is the difference between using the alarm_control_panel.* actions and the alarmo.* actions? Which one should I be using and is there a benefit using the alarmo.* actions?
I have many sensors connected through Tuya that are not discovered by Alarmo even though they appear in “Developer Tools > States” as sensors.
I was wondering if we can manually add sensors in Alarmo by editing one of it’s files maybe?
Check what the device_class is set to for these sensors.
I am having a hard time configuring notifications.
My detection devices were described in HA like “Door-Device Code” and are always designated to a specific room (area).
So my Kitchen Door is “Door-CS10”, allocated to “Kitchen” area
With that in mind (and instead of renaming everything), I would like to customize the message in the notification to get the area and the “thing”:
{% for open_sensor in state_attr('alarm_control_panel.alarmo','open_sensors').keys() | list %}
{% set area_name = area_name(open_sensor) %}
{% set short_name = state_attr(open_sensor,'friendly_name').split('-')[:-1][0] %}
{{ area_name ~ ' - ' ~ short_name }}
{% endfor %}
I tried that using the event “Alarm is triggered” for the Event in Alarmo Notifications tab.
But I can not get this working when “Entry Delay” is set to “none” - state_attr(‘alarm_control_panel.alarmo’,‘open_sensors’) returns None. I am new to HA, and I wasn’t able to to use “open_sensor” wildcard for similar behavior.
So, besides renaming everything, or change the entry delay, how could I customize the message?
Kind Regards
Can you set different times on different door sensors, one I want to sound the alarm after 10 s, another that we used often, I would prefer 90 s so the children have time to sound the alarm
So, Nintendo just dropped an alarm clock and named it Alarmo
What are the chances that Nintendo comes for this regarding the name?
Hopefully not given that this is not a commercial / paid product or service.
Hi, total newbie here
i got the google assitant sdk working in my home assistant and now trying to add the alarmo code into my configuration.yaml to allow me to set alarm via my google mini
I added the following code…
google_assistant:
project_id: myhomeha-xxxxxx
service_account: !include /config/SERVICE_ACCOUNT.JSON
# secure_devices_pin: 1234 # should be identical to a user in Alarmo as well
report_state: true
expose_by_default: false
entity_config:
alarm_control_panel.alarmo:
expose: true
room: Home
But I’m getting the following warning when checking the config …
Invalid config for ‘google_assistant’ at configuration.yaml, line 20: required key ‘client_email’ not provided
Invalid config for ‘google_assistant’ at configuration.yaml, line 20: required key ‘private_key’ not provided
Any ideas please what i’m doing wrong?
thanks
thanks I’ll look into adding those now
I was under the impression that the json file i referenced would be all the oauth credentials that the sdk would require…
contents of my json …
"{"web":{"client_id":"000000000000-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.apps.googleusercontent.com","project_id":"myhomeha-xxxxxx","auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth","token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token","auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs","client_secret":"GOCSPX-xxxxxxxxx_-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","redirect_uris":["https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/oauth"]}}"
?
PS … do i need to create a new service account to get my private_key…
PPS I created a new service account and followed the instructions here …Google Assistant - Home Assistant and created a new json file and uploaded that, no need to enter email/private key anymore (I was using oauth credentials that are used for sending commands to google home from ha)
Greetings.
New to the group. I have been using Alarmo for the past 2-3 months.
To benefit from any web based alarm system, I felt that I needed some PIRs, Door Sensors, Vibration Sensors etc, so I went for Aqara gear.
The problem I finding is, PIRs and Vibration Sensors are creating false positives, that triggers the alarm. I am not able to use group function as I don’t have more than one sensor per room.
So what I want to find out is (probably these don’t make sense):
- How do I confirm the sensor has triggered
- How do I delay the triggered event so I can confirm that the trigger is genuine.
- May be someone wants to share how they use Alarmo?
- Anything else that may be useful?)
Thank you for your help
@br_msn I’m no expert, so wait for their answers.
Skyconnect, HA Green. So far. Zwave dongle for Ring V2 keypad. Zooz 800.
I have it setup with all Aqara sensors.
Zha ZigBee.
About 25 door and windows sensors.
About 4 PIR motion.
2 vibration, but I’m just testing those. Stuck in the center of 2 windows.
Several wet sensors in it & still testing, just got them.
The vibration sensors have sensitivity adjustment. I didn’t adjust mine. I don’t think wind on the windows will trigger them. I hope.
Maybe if a bird tries to fly into the glass.
But I have the foam sticky on them and stuck on windows so some insulation to vibration vs window break. Sticky things are on opposite of battery access so I can get at them.
Same for PIR motion, battery hatch on top.
Here’s an old link, search and due diligence on adjusting.
No vibration in Alarmo yet, still watching for false positives.
No PIR false positives, I don’t have pets. Still waiting for a fly to trip them lol.
I use Alarmo as, anything not ever or rarely ever opened is always armed in home. Alarmo settings.
Night arms everything, time based. Away arms everything. automatically (Automations) Back to home at 5AM.
I use a Ring V2 keypad as a hardware arming disarming etc. device. Built in siren. Blueprint for Zha at least. Perhaps other options as well.
Use the app if necessary but automations are handling it so far.
Using Map and zones, I setup geofencing to arm Away when leaving zone and arm Home when entering the zone.
Pretty much it and still testing Aqara sensors.
There’s more I do with Tasker and Bluetooth speakers for loud sirens at night from my phone.
Hi folks. New to Alarmo, but not Home Assistant and just configuring and checking our alarm system.
I have created 3 Areas
Garage
Upstairs
Downstairs
and left the Enable alarm Master checked. So I have a panel for each Area and a Master panel.
I’ve set the Trigger time for each Area to 5 mins, which works okay for any given Area.
I want to have the Garage area armed all day whether we’re home or not, but with a 5 min Trigger time the alarm disarms 5 mins after it triggers. Can I get it to stay armed, but just cancel the Trigger?
Thanks.
