Lovelace: Alarm card

That makes sense. It was caused by a breaking change in 0.88. I’m unsure how to fix it but the official alarm card changed too.

Note for Lovelace custom card developers: if you relied on the availability of <paper-button> in your code, you will have to update it to <mwc-button> to get a similar component.

Thanks for the info.

I am not aware of this official changes.

Quick fix:
Open the .js file and replace all “paper-button” for “mwc-button” then you will be good to go.
Don’t forget to increase the version number in your dependency declaration.

Hi,

If I only wanna to change this keypad section, which part of “paper-button” in .js file I should change?

Thanks.

Is there something I can add to the config so that the code is only required to disarm the alarm and not required when arming the alarm?

Funny enough that option is coming in 0.90. You’ll be able to add code_arm_required: False to your configuration file.

Hi, you have tried thecommand:
code_arm_required ? It’s not working for me.

I learned that the “code_arm_required” entry is only for the MQTT alarm that communicates with a 3rd party alarm system, like ADT. I am using the Home Assistant manual MQTT alarm, meaning HA is handling all the alarm functionality. The “code_arm_required” option to allow arming without a code was not included in the manual HA alarm.

I created a feature request to have this added. You can vote it up to help get it included.

Oh, gladly. Where can I vote for it? How you do it? Thank you!

Just click this link and click the “vote” button in the top left

Anyone know how to make the number buttons larger? I’m going to try the solution above to change the colour, but ideally also want them to be bigger too.

Anyway, is there any methods to arm alarm without PIN, but could disarm alarm with PIN?

I believe it depends on the alarm you’re using.
I arm mine without pin, but a code is required to disarm.
And there is an option to ask code to arm the alarm.

This would be controlled by the back end, not the front end. There is the option code_arm_required for manual mqtt alarm which stops the code been required for arming. I have a PR to add this option to manual and manual alarm with mqtt.

Hi all,

Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately, I am using manual alarm without MQTT. so definitely need to wait for next release.

When will this feature releases?

I wanna to try out this feature.

Hello everybody.

I have a little problem with this card. I use mqtt alarm panel connected to a paradox system via mqtt. Here is the config from HA. The payloads are ok and working.

alarm_control_panel:
platform: mqtt
name: “alarm”
code: “0000”
state_topic: “paradoxdCTL/hassio/Arm”
command_topic: “paradoxCTL/in”
payload_disarm: ‘{“password”:“0000”,“Command”:“disarm”,“Subcommand”:“0”}’
payload_arm_night: ‘{“password”:“0000”,“Command”:“sleep”,“Subcommand”:“0”}’
payload_arm_home: ‘{“password”:“0000”,“Command”:“stay”,“Subcommand”:“0”}’
payload_arm_away: ‘{“password”:“0000”,“Command”:“arm”,“Subcommand”:“0”}’

When clicking on arming away or home nothing happens, but when I use manual panel from HA instead, everything is ok ! Any idea where is the problem ?
Or somebody can show me some working config ?

Thanks a lot

I am using this card with manual alarm and when i try to Arm or Disarm with code i get an error in the log stating Invalid code given for disarmed but the code is correct. I can disarm/arm using the panel that i access from the States panel <>. Is this a known bug ? I am using 0.92.0

Does anyone have some tips / sample code on changing the size of the buttons? I’m using a Amazon Fire Tablet 7" and they’re too tiny for my fat fingers. Thank you!

Is there an issue out for the lovelace alarm panel that the buttons are no longer buttons? Even the documentation still shows the buttons. I know there are easy fixes but that should be reported so it can go mainstream since i have the same fat finger issue as djtommye.

@riemers @djtommye Some of the styling has been changed recently, but there is a new way to re-style the ha-card elements here. I was able to enlarge the numbers(buttons) on the stock alarm-panel so they can easily be pressed. Not my best work, but very functional for our needs.
