How to parse this value?

Configuration
1

I’m using the useful add-on Texecom2mqtt. Link to the main thread here.

I want to be able to take the current armed state and save this to a helper, so I can use it in an automation:

  • in_entry
  • pending
  • in_exit
  • arming
  • disarmed
  • triggered
  • full_armed
  • armed_away
  • part_armed_1
  • armed_home

Here is the debug log when the add-on starts:

The line in question showing the states:

2025-01-15 20:23:11 - DEBUG: Publishing to homeassistant/alarm_control_panel/texecom2mqtt/garden_room/config: {"code":"****","code_arm_required":true,"code_disarm_required":true,"name":"Garden Room","state_topic":"texecom2mqtt/area/garden_room","command_topic":"texecom2mqtt/area/garden_room/command","unique_id":"texecom2mqtt.area.garden_room","value_template":"{% set values = {\"in_entry\":\"pending\",\"in_exit\":\"arming\",\"disarmed\":\"disarmed\",\"triggered\":\"triggered\",\"full_armed\":\"armed_away\",\"part_armed_1\":\"armed_home\"} %}{{ values[value_json.status] }}","payload_disarm":"disarm","json_attributes_topic":"texecom2mqtt/power","payload_arm_away":"full_arm","payload_arm_home":"part_arm_1","availability_topic":"texecom2mqtt/status","qos":2,"device":{"name":"Texecom Premier Elite 64","identifiers":"*******","manufacturer":"Texecom","model":"Premier Elite 64","sw_version":"V6.05.03LS1"}}

Creating an automation, it does not show all of the states, specifically these are not shown:

  • in_entry
  • pending
  • in_exit
  • arming

There is an example here which creates a helper, and then uses an automation to track the last activated sensor (which I also have working). But I can’t understand how to apply the same principle to parse the current alarm state.

So, how do I parse these states into a helper that shows the current state?

A bit more info, I set the logs to DEBUG and then recorded the following actions:

So it seems the state I want it published to MQTT topic texecom2mqtt/area/garden_room , could I get the state from that?

If so how do I update a helper from the status part of the MQTT payload?

Getting further along…

Now I am stuck as to the data value to write to the entity via input_text.set_value

alias: "[AA TEST alarm state save)"
description: ""
triggers:
  - trigger: mqtt
    topic: texecom2mqtt/area/garden_room
    value_template: "{{ value_json.status }}"
conditions: []
actions:
  - action: input_text.set_value
    metadata: {}
    data:
      value: 
    target:
      entity_id: input_text.test_alarm_state_helper
mode: single

Anyone help with this?
