Hmmm…yeah it’s not picking up all the changes, only some.
Hmm that’s odd?
Yeah not picking up at all. File isn’t modifying either.
Must be a permissions thing then?
File is owned by homeassistant user and i just tried it as 777, still no luck.
Tried deleting the file and restarting. Stumped. It writes some gibberish to the file but no alarm state.
Yeah I think the gibberish is just the shelve db meta data or something. Normally the state stuff is in plaintext at the end of the gibberish. I’ll have a look at mine when I get home to see if there’s anything about how I’ve set it up.
Not under all circumstances. I found out when killing appdaemon in testing that it doesn’t flush the saved data to the file immediately.
Ok will have to look at how to close, and move the open into the set_alarm routine.
Mine’s gibberish but with this at the end:
alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm▒Xpendingq.alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm▒disarmedq.alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm▒X
I run appdaemon in a docker container and my db file is owned by root with 644 perms.
Switched to root being owner and 644, still no luck, must be something odd with my setup. I’ll keep messing around, thanks. Wish this just worked as it’s by far the easiest solution.

Hello,
For those interested, I updated the source code of Soul to work on my environment with a recent HA (0.98) :
import appdaemon.plugins.hass.hassapi as hass
import shelve
import time
#
# App to reset alarm_control_panel to previous state after HA restart
#
# Args:
#
# delay - amount of time after restart to set the state
# file - file in which to save state
#
# Release Notes
#
# Version 1.1:
# Customized version
class AlarmReset(hass.Hass):
def initialize(self):
self.listen_event(self.ha_event, "plugin_started")
self.listen_event(self.appd_event, "appd_started")
self.listen_state(self.state_change, "alarm_control_panel")
def ha_event(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
self.log_notify("Home Assistant restart detected")
self.run_in(self.set_alarm, self.args["delay"])
def appd_event(self, event_name, data, kwargs):
self.log_notify("AppDaemon restart detected")
self.run_in(self.set_alarm, self.args["delay"])
def state_change(self, entity, attribute, old, new, kwargs):
device_db = shelve.open(self.args["file"])
self.log_notify("State change: {} to {}".format(entity, new))
device_db[entity] = new
device_db.sync();
device_db.close();
def set_alarm(self, kwargs):
device_db = shelve.open(self.args["file"])
self.log_notify("Checking for alarm_control_panel")
# Find out what devices are avaiable.
# If we don't know about it initialize, if we do set the switch appropriately
state = self.get_state()
for entity in state:
type, id = entity.split(".")
if type == "alarm_control_panel":
if entity in device_db:
if device_db[entity] != state[entity]["state"]:
self.log_notify("Setting {} to {} (was {})".format(entity, device_db[entity], state[entity]["state"]))
self.call_service("alarm_control_panel/ifttt_push_alarm_state", entity_id = entity, state = device_db[entity])
#new_state = self.set_state(entity, state = device_db[entity])
else:
self.log_notify("Adding {}, setting value to current state ({})".format(entity, state[entity]["state"]))
device_db[entity] = state[entity]["state"]
device_db.sync();
device_db.close();
def log_notify(self, message, level = "INFO"):
#if "verbose_log" in self.args:
self.log(message)
You will need to adapt the service call to the right on, in my case "alarm_control_panel/ifttt_push_alarm_state"
I also got around this by using NodeRed to save and restore the last known state.
@Soul : I have same issue with manual alarm panel on HA 0.114.2
After HA restart, alarm panel always trigger to arm_away
However my alarm panel setting need code to disarm so this apps won’t work
I can see from log, apps trying to disarm, but won’t do anything since need code
Any work-around?
