Does anybody know how to show the state of an alarm sensor (fibaro) when it is armed, disarmed or triggered. Depending on the state it changes the color… would be great for an alarm dashboard.
Anyone? 
Under the attributes I see “Device armed true” and this while it is not even armed.
So I have no idea how to get the correct info to see that real status on my dashboard.
what sensor? did you integrate it into the zwave integration yet? show us some data and pictures so help you?
The Fibaro intigration where I have my motion and door sensors.
So I have LUA scripts running to control the alarm on HC2 which is working fine and I’ve created some buttons in HA to activate the scenes of the alarm.
What I want is to see the armed or unarmed status of my sensors in HA.
Example devices:
binary_sensor.salon_motion_woonkamer_181
binary_sensor.inkom_voordeur_sensor_162
Screenshot of Motion sensor:
but isnt that what your arrow points at?
it’s all there?
you can show that attribute in an entities card like:
- type: attribute
entity: sun.sun
attribute: elevation
Well that’s the problem… it says armed is true, but I’m at home and it is not armed at the moment.
o right.
thats another issue… and you are sure its not also armed in the Fibaro Home center? If that would be the case, and they are not in sync, you’d need to file an issue I guess.
(not using the FHC myself so I can not advise you on that matter)
I’m sure of it, as you see:
that seems Armed. ‘Uitschakelen’ is clickable meaning it is now ‘Ingeschakeld’ : or, Armed?
No it is unarmed… uitschakelen means turn off… even Fibaro made bad translations 
Even when changing the state, it doesnt reflect in HA as it always armed is true.
I am Dutch 
if the device is currently Armed, that is not a bad translation, but correct. Since the Button for that is clickable, and you can activate the ‘Uitschakelen’
But, if you’re sure the state never changes in HA, (and does in FHC), you should file an issue on the Fibaro integration at Sign in to GitHub · GitHub
if it doesn’t change in FBH either then go to their support channels
Blue button means current status and it is disarmed/deactivated.
I’m pretty sure of it that it isn’t working 
Wouldn’t this mean you can click Disarm? (and Arm is greyed out). Meaning the device is Armed?
would be a real issue if Fibaro translated Arm to Uitschakelen, and Disarm to Inschakelen…
which system, HA or Fibaro HC
so it does do something…
ok, then file an issue in the correct place
No… it is disarmed. I just tried to click it in my system and it doesnt do anything. When I click arm it arms and changes to blue
I know how it works
Issue created: Fibaro: status armed-disarmed not reflecting · Issue #79700 · home-assistant/core · GitHub
ok, now be sure to add some screens of HA dashboard/dev tools/state And the screens of FHC, to help the devs fix this (if it in fact is a HA issue)
also, be sure to add the logs (debug) and the diagnostic file (if that is available in HA, check the Fibaro integration panel for that)
also, for your own reference, link this topic in the additional info section
So it seems to be working fine after the fix… but I seem not to be able to use it in an automation as a trigger.

@rappenze any idea how to solve? thx
I tried it on my system and it worked only when I provided the from and to attributes without quotes. I was not able to enter this in the UI editor, I switched to the YAML mode to enter it without quotes.
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id:
- binary_sensor.bad_fenster_379

That did the job… thanks!
