i’m trying to track the status of my alarm in order to set my thermostats to away mode when we turn the alarm on, but only if it’s not armed via *9 (no entry delay) since we want the thermostat to keep working in normal mode while we’re home sleeping (which is the only time we’d arm with *9). the problem is that while everything seems to be working fine, it always seems to have armed_no_entry_delay set to true, even when i just arm the alarm for regular away. am i doing something wrong?
Where are you seeing “armed_no_entry_delay” in HASS?
I can’t find it on my phone (not home at the moment), but it shows up as under the alarm in the GUI.
I see what you are saying.
Mine show “Arm Zero Entry Stay” for the Key Pad Status and “armed home” for the System Status.
Maybe you can use the System Status Change instead of the key Pad Status Change.
I guess you are using a State or Template Trigger?
are you using a dsc or honeywell alarm? mine is DSC pc1864
this is from the sensors page in HA…
sensor.home_alarm_keypad Ready armed_zero_entry_delay: trueDSC with EVL3
same here. not sure what’s going on with mine then…it definitely doesn’t show zero entry delay in the arm status and it always seems to be stuck on no entry delay = true.
That shouldn’t matter, what I’m saying is, use the system status and not the key pad status as your trigger.
Maybe your system is newer, I have a 12yr old 5020 panel.
If you don’t mind sharing your code, I can test it.
I’m just dump when it comes to template and automation.
hmm…i could have sworn my status still said armed away whether i armed it with *9 or not. i’ll do some tinkering again tomorrow and see what i can come up with…
FYI: My System Status is a result of Entity ID for “alarm_control_panel”
i must have been doing something wrong last night. i do see now that when arming with *9 it says “Arm Zero Entry Away” as the status for the control panel sensor. regular arming is “Arm Away.” i can work with that.
i’m still curious though what the heck armed_zero_entry_delay is, and why it’s always true…
Zero Entry means there is NO Entry Delay when the System is Armed, this should only be the case when arming via the *9 command.
yeah, i get that it should only be the case when arming with *9. that’s not the case for me, though…it’s ALWAYS true, even without *9.
Are you using code or away button to arm away?
in this case code, but i never really use the button. i always just enter my code as i’m leaving.
Strange.
And you do have a delay when you enter while armed in away mode?
How many Key pads?
Are they LCD with Alpha Display or Icon/Led?
Strange.
very.
And you do have a delay when you enter while armed in away mode?
yep. always have. alarm is 3 years old, been in place since the house was built and have always used it in this fashion (enter code then leave). we use *9 at night when going to sleep and always have done that as well.
How many Key pads?
one wired, one wireless.
Are they LCD with Alpha Display or Icon/Led?
both are LCD.
Are you getting the same results with different user codes?
i haven’t tried it with any other codes. i’ll try that next…
