Manual alarm system, how to delay sirens after alarm has been triggered?

i copied n pasted the code from the sample integration manual.
while it does work great, i would like to add a delay before the siren goes off. let’s delay 30 seconds, allowing me time to input 1111 before the siren goes crazy. where can i put this code? i read the manual again n again but it did not help.

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: manual
    name: Home Alarm
    code: '1111'
    arming_time: 30
    delay_time: 20
    trigger_time: 4
    disarmed:
      trigger_time: 0
    armed_home:
      arming_time: 0
      delay_time: 0

even following youtube guides such as this or this did not work.
i guess the next best thing to do is to add a delay in my list of Action. pretty cool how HA has many ways to accomplish the same thing

This is a great component called Alarmo based on the HA alarm, takes away all the awkward integration needed to set up the alarm system etc … :slight_smile:

I leveraged the examples here.

this is perfect! thank you
