Hello, is it possible to show also the sensors with the Jablotron80 component even if the alarm is not armed? I now only see the button for arm and not arm the alarm but want to see the sensors also.
Hello,
yes this is possible (to some extent). I use Jablotron to detect if doors have been left open (even when alarm is not set). However there is limitations such as that if system is set and there is alarm for opening door status then status of door doesnt’ change until alarm is confirmed.

Hi Erkka, @tahvane1
first thanks for your phantastic contribution to Jablotron 80 integration! Got it working now and see sensors, can arm/disarm the zones.
What I see here is that the sensor status in HA is not usually updated (the system is disarmed) - but when I press e.g. the ESC button on the panel, the status is updated in HA and changes then back to default state.
As an example, I have a door open - the sensor in HA shows that it is closed - I press the ESC button on the physical panel - and the sensor in HA changes for like 2 seconds to open, then back to closed.
Edit: Reading a bit further it seems this is JA80 standard behavior… now I think to send a ESC like a ping to the system to capture the status of the sensors (given I can get the timing right…)
Now 
(how) can I send a ESC or # which is the same key to the system?
I see some messages like:
ERROR (MainThread) [custom_components.jablotron80] Unknown message type 198 with data c6 ff received
not sure if that’s related…
Best,
Martin
I’m not sure if this is relevant anymore. But I would say that your case should work out of the box. There should not be need for separate query (as integration) should do it.
