Yeah did try the open and close the door. Didn’t update… But it now says 3 hours vs 2 hours on all the entities… 
No, look at your alarm_system.yaml file, you have a entry “zonedump_interval”, change it from 30 to 0 and reboot HA.
Well it’s now updating very fast like every two minutes, but still all zones say Closed, even though the Computer Room door is now open. I also Armed the Panel manually from the wall and nothing showed up.
Arming wouldn’t show up for zones, you should have another entity for the panel or keypad, what are the attributes for those, is the partition listed under the attributes?
Hey Coolie,
I’m going to call it a night here. It’s 2am and I’m tired.
Hope to pick this up tomorrow time willing.
Thanks so much for your time. I just think I’m missing a status command or something.
Take Care…

Unable to connect to envisalink. Reconnecting…
Also I just realized that the integration is actually not connecting with my Panel.
This is why all my zones all say “Closed”

You have an errant “:” in your IP address in your alarm_system.yaml file.
host: 192.168.0:46 should be 192.168.0.46
That may not be your only issue but I guarantee its preventing connection.
Make the edit. Restart HA.

OMG !! YOU ARE THE MAN !!!
No one else Picked up on that.
Can’t wait to post my results…
Thank you so much Sir !!
IT WORKS !!!
Doors now post open or Closed…
Funny how much time I spent on this, and to find out a single “:” vs a “.”
My Sincere Thanks for your time… 
Note: This is actually my first time using Yaml.
I’m sure I’ll be doing more now that at I’ve got a taste of how it works…
Hello It’s me again. Hope I don’t wear out my welcome, but starting to dig deeper into this Integration.
So Status of Doors work, and I’ve actually created a couple Automation’s. (Awesome)
However Arm / Dis-Arm doesn’t work.
Reason I think is Called Unique ID…
After some research I see at one time you asked about this error yourself, but I saw no resolution to your question.
I did install the “Manual alarm control panel” Integration in my Yaml and it does produce a KeyPad, however it to says the following error
"This entity (‘alarm_control_panel.home_alarm’) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI"
And the existing Status of the Doors gets the same message if I try to edit from the UI interface.
This entity (‘binary_sensor.front_door’) does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI And seems to be Zero information on this and I looked for a couple hours.
So My Question is where is this Unique ID supposed to go. And What do I call It?
Thanks Again.
It doesn’t have anything to do with unique ID. (you cannot edit that for these entities in this integration) You also don’t need to install any additional integrations.
Theres a built in card ‘alarm-panel’ for managing alarm panels and it can operate the alarm panel which your Envisalink integration installed. How you do it depends entirely on how you’re editing your dashboards…
In short you will add a card to your dashboard using the following:
type: alarm-panel
entity: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
name: Alarm Panel
But you need to replace the entity: with the name your Envisalink integration gave your partition panel.
Thank you. I was able to get my Panel to Arm / DisArm and show the status with the default code including showing all zones open / closed. So very happy with that.
And actually started creating Automations, Alexa voice notifications and lights on when doors open.
I tried using the other manual alarm panel integration as it will display a keypad as well as other data, but that will require some study on my end. But not critical at this juncture. Thanks again.
Congrats on getting it working! It looks like you missed my comment about the extraneous ‘:’ in your config back in September.
I just got mine working - beginning to end, with hints and tricks from here.
My last holdup was that I had my IP bracketed in config.yaml: <10.69.0.xx>
I removed the < and> and then BAM! Everything works.
