I see in the Homebridge documentation that if you setup the alarm_control_panel component with an alarm code, you have to use the homebridge_alarm_code in the configuration. I can get my alarm control panel to appear in Homebridge and the Home Kit App on my phone, but I am unable to arm/disarm the alarm. My question is where do I put homebridge_alarm_code? Does it go in the Homebridge config.json? If so, then where? I initially though it went in HA in configuration.yaml under the alarm_control_panel: section but on restart of HA it throws an error.
I get it that not everyone has the same or similar setup, but no one has any idea on the alarm component and integrating it with homebridge, specifically with an alarm code?
Hi!
No, it’s under customize:.
I started my customize.yaml with;
alarm_control_panel.home_alarm:
space space homebridge_name: ByAlarm
space space homebridge_alarm_code: 1234
Works great!

That was it! Had to add it to the customize: section. Thank you!
