This might be the push I need to go back to using the core manual alarm (give me those 0.115 goodies!). I haven’t used the bwalarm html panel since setting up the alarm and actually hide it from the side menu. It is a convenient way to set up and change sensors on the fly but I just don’t change t…

Yep it’s working! Too bad that panel is gone. I use it all the time, i have all my wall mounted ipads switch to that panel when home is armed, super convenient and looks very sharp. Hope that doesn’t get removed

Works for me too. But hoping to see the Alarm side-panel again soon :D. Thanks for this awsome Alarm component. Exactly how the official Alarm component should have been.

[image] jdbrookes: Is it possible to have a mix of “delayed” trigger sensors and “immediate” trigger sensors with the manual alarm You could try setting up the manual alarm to trigger immediately, but create the delay in your automations.

I’m just in the process of coding the manual_mqtt alarm. Here is my example code: alarm_control_panel: - platform: manual_mqtt name: House code: 'xxxx' pending_time: 60 delay_time: 60 trigger_time: 600 armed_home: pending_time: 0 delay_time: 0 state_topic:…

Dave, I’m interested to know if this message template still works with the manual alarm: message: "ALARM TRIGGERED!!! {{ states[states.alarm_control_panel.house.attributes.changed_by.split('.')[0]][states.alarm_control_panel.house.attributes.changed_by.split('.')[1]].name }}"

I’ll let you know once I iron out the current bugs… for some reason the HA sensors seem to send the alarm into ‘pending’ rather than ‘triggered’ then after a whole lot of waiting the alarm finally triggers… EDIT: currently not getting any notification regarding the triggered sensor, but I’ll work o…

You could kludge it by setting the pending time to 0 and automating the exit delay. Condition: alarm must be armed for x seconds for a particular group of sensors.

So far I can’t get the triggered sensor to be reported in a notification. I also tried the following: message: 'ALARM TRIGGERED!!! {{ trigger.to_state.attributes.friendly_name }}' but that didn’t work, got this error in the log: Error executing script. Error rendering template for call_service …

That is a good idea to get around it

I recently found Alarmo - it can be installed via the HACS store. Similar idea as bwalarm. The dev is very responsive and the implementation looks great. All config done via the UI.
