I’m using the alarmdotcom integration from HACS, and have the following alarm panel code in my UI:
type: alarm-panel
entity: alarm_control_panel.partition1
name: House alarm
states:
- arm_home
- arm_away
This worked for many years, but broke a few months back. I can still disarm the alarm from the UI, and arm or disarm the alarm from scripts, but if I try to arm the alarm from the UI, I get the error: “Validation error: Arming requires a code but none was given for alarm_control_panel.partition1.”
There are many threads about this, but none explains how to fix it in a way that seems to apply to my system. In particular, I no longer have anything in my configuration.yaml file because all the configuration is done in the UI.
If I set a PIN in the alarmdotcom settings UI, then it will allow me to arm the alarm, but the UI becomes clunky. Since I can disable the alarm without a PIN or with a script anyway, or change the PIN to whatever I want in the UI given access to homeassistant even if I don’t know the old PIN, the PIN doesn’t really serve any security in my configuration, so I don’t want to have to enter a PIN to set the alarm.
Can someone tell me how to eliminate the problem from start to finish? In other words, I know there’s probably some option to fix this, but if you give me some YAML I need to know what file to put it in and in what context. There seem to be some options in .storage/core.config_entries, but this is JSON not YAML.
Thanks.
