I created a similar alarm panel yesterday; I was experimenting with reactive CSS too and coloring:

Hey Chris @l2g,
Iâve noticed when the alarm goes off (triggered), it does give an signal or status to the sensor. Is this correct? Would be nice if the sensor could read that their is an alarm going offâŚ
Also:
Is it possible to add an option menu to the integration? When I change the pin or username so I donât have to re add the integration.
Thanks
Stef
Hej,
First of all Chris thanks for your awesome work! I stumbled on this thread and still curious if this might work on my Raspberry Pi with Home Assistent OS. I saw @stefdewilde tried to, but where you able in the end?
Hey man!
Yes, at last thanks to @dd77!

Download this rar file.
Unpack it
Place it in your custom_components map
Restart your device 
Should I ssh to the Pi?
No, make sure you have Samba share addon installed.
If youâve done that you can access it from your pc. Then go to the map config. If there ainât a map custom_components make one and copy the map ultrasync in it.
Restart your HA and it should work
Hero! Will try it now!

This is definitely a bug; iâm noticing that my (Interlogix) alarm code is not picking up on the Armed Status. So i think i still need some work here. For your alarm panel, would you be able to trigger an alarm (as you noticed wasnât working) and capture a --debug-dump from the ultrasync tool for me while it is happening. I can use these file offline to debug/test with.

This should be doable; iâll look into it for sure.
For those wanting to impliment this code into yours; itâs awesome youâve got your own method. AT the end of the day you really only need 2 things (from my branch):
homeassistant/components/ultrasync/generated/config_flows.py
You can install the latest version of Home Assistant and just make sure you copy/paste the directory and file above in the same respected folder of your code and it should work fine.
Fair enough. So I installed it like you said. Is there a way to create cards like you or Chris did (as seen above)?
You will need to add the custom card custom component for mine. Iâve also edited the code so it looks like this: (itâs in dutch, Iâm from Belgium so yeah) Alarm Aan = Armed, Alarm Thuis = Stay, alarm uit = disarm. The Big Shield changes when itâs armed or when it 's on the stay function or when itâs on delay

@stefdewilde
Iâm not sure if i fixed your problem, or made it worse. Please try the temporary ultrasync branch: informix-away-not-monitored
# make sure it's not already installed (so you don't have any conflicts)
pip uninstall ultrasync
# Then install the branch version:
pip install git+https://github.com/caronc/ultrasync.git@interlogix-away-not-monitored
Hey Chris, happy cake day first of all.
I tried your new version, but it still doesnât show up. Iâm also not able to dump the debug file. I get some weird errorâs that it canât connect to the IP and then it crashesâŚ
Whenever I click a button this is shown:
Failed to call service ultrasync/away. Service not found.
Did you add the integration?
Go to Configuration -> Integrations -> Add Integrations (or a big â+â button)
Then search for Ultrasync
Give in your host (ip adress of your Interlogix) user and the pincode. (Best is to make a new user for HomeAssistant use only)

Thanks! That was it!

Kudos to the creator for his effort, he created a long awaited integration!
Is there a way to read indivudual sensor states; i would like to use window sensors to switch off heater actuators. I can do this with homeip own sensors as well, but why should i buy and install duplicate sensor on each opening? Alarms wireless sensors are already in place?
Sent some debugs across from when my alarm is going off with both branches of your code.
Have a look at post #67 for this thread.
While each individual sensor or zone is not exposed individually right now he did put in a Home Assistant event that includes the name of the sensor being tripped. I have found this perfectly fine for use as triggers on something like an automation but I dont think it can be used for something like a condition.
I just want you all to know I didnât forget about any of you or the alarm issue you brought forth (thank you @stefdewilde for pointing out this very big flaw!). Bryan (@bojo) was very kind to send me his debug information as identified above.
Work has been really busy for me this past week but I finally had a chance to sit down and look into it now and I think i fixed it. I created the branch report-burglar-alarm and this Pull Request which should fix what youâve identified 
. Hopefully you guys are good at the drill now; if you could help me test the branch out (before i merge it), that would be awesome!
There are 2 ways to test it⌠the easiest is to keep using my ultrasync tool because what it produces is EXACTLY what gets passed back to Home Assistant (this tool wraps the exact same library where the bug was patched).
- The
pip3 installmethod:# make sure it's not already installed (so you don't have any conflicts) pip uninstall ultrasync # Then install the branch version: pip install git+https://github.com/caronc/ultrasync.git@report-burglar-alarm - Using the test tool i ship right with the code on github now (in
bin/of repo) which means you can still have your exiting ultrasync installed and not touch what is already in place, yet test this in itâs own virtual world. Basicaly what i mean is:# you can just checkout the source code in a temporary directory: mkdir tmp # change to your temporary directory cd tmp # clone a copy of ultrasync git clone https://github.com/caronc/ultrasync.git # change into the directory that was created: cd ultrasync # change to the report-burglar-alarm branch git checkout report-burglar-alarm # Now use bin/ultrasync as you would the natively installed ultrasync tool ./bin/ultrasync --config="path/to/config" --watch
Option 2 above seems longer, but you can just delete the tmp/ directory you created when youâre done. No harm, no fowl. Your existing copy of ultrasync that might be already install will run untouched. Food for thought anyway; use either option above and let me know how it goes.

Finally had some time to test your new branch.
I still donât get a status that the alarm is triggered.
Still not able to debug dump it. Too little time, otherwise the whole neighboorhood would be coming to my house to check the alarm haha.
