IFTTT Alarm Control Panel - Triggered State?

Configuration
1

I have a Scout Alarm I’ve integrated with Home Assistant, and the 3 arming modes and disarming is all working as expected. My problem is that I don’t seem to have a way to mark the alarm as triggered. The IFTTT Alarm Control Panel doesn’t appear to support setting the state to triggered? I’ve tried a few things to no avail here. I’d love some advice on how to be able to set an IFTTT alarm to triggered, because I have other automations I’d like to chain from it.

I’ve even tried calling the API directly, such as:

curl -d '{"entity_id": "alarm_control_panel.XXXX", "state": "triggered"}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  -X POST https://XXXX/api/services/alarm_control_panel/ifttt_push_alarm_state?api_password=XXXX
curl -d '{"entity_id": "alarm_control_panel.XXXX","code":XXXX}' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'x-ha-access: XXXX' -X POST https://XXXX/api/services/alarm_control_panel/alarm_trigger

I’ve tried using an automation to trigger on an input boolean changing to “on” and I got errors such as NotImplementedError.

I have one other alarm control panel hooked up, Arlo, and I want to be able to sync up triggered states, among other things. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,
Same issue here, I even tried thoses curl command

curl -d '{"entity_id": "alarm_control_panel.somfyprotect", "state": "disarmed"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST https://homeassistant.local:8123/api/webhook/IFTTTKEY

With this other URL I’ve got a 401 Unauthorized.

curl -d '{"entity_id": "alarm_control_panel.somfyprotect", "state": "disarmed"}' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST "https://homeassistant.local:8123/api/services/ifttt/push_alarm_state?api_password=API_KEY"

Maybe I don’t understand what is the ‘key’ I need to use …
