Hello
Can you have 2 or more alarm set up in home assistant please? I want one for the house and 1 for the garage. And to have an alarm panel for each.
Any idea please?
Cheers
Mark

Hi
Yes you can… here is my ex: 1.Main 2.Basement

Out of curiosity, what alarm setup are you using please?
For monitoring sensors I’m using nodemcu 8266 board flashed with konnected firmware. But really doesn’t matter how the alarm is setup, if each of your sensors are showing in HA you can create as many manual panels you wish. Automation will be used to activate and trigger the alarm panel by defining which sensors used for each panel. As you can see in the pic below…

Perhaps YOU should elaborate on the method you want to use…
honestly… i am trying to figure that out and not sure how it work in HA as I have never really set it up… i have a bunch of sensors and want to use 1 set for the house and 1 set for the garage but not linked…
You just described @Bsodi’s setup, but previously said
So what does this mean?
What is it you want?
Yes. You can have multiple alarm systems setup in home assistant.
What attitude? Why are you calling me names?
Seriously, you asked if it was possible, you were shown it is indeed possible (I run 2 different alarm setups on my home assistant as well), then you say it’s not what you’re looking for, then you turn around and say you don’t know what you’re looking for.
The original question was answered. Yes, you can use multiple alarm systems on one home assistant.
@flamingm0e apologies. Had a bad day and thought you were trying to be funny… Honestly I wasn’t sure what I wanted but done a lot more reading today and still not sure which is the best way to go… but at least this has given me some pointers.
I hope you understand how confusing this thread is.
You asked if it was possible, was shown it was possible, and said that wasn’t what you were looking for.
It’s possible, to use 2 different alarm systems, using different alarm methods. I use alarmdecoder connected to my Vista20P system, and an MQTT alarm system, connected to ESP8266 sensors running custom firmware.
So what kind of sensors do you have? What are you looking to do with the alarm? Monitored? Connected to a real alarm company or just local?
It sounds to me like you are actually just trying to figure what alarm system to go with, in which case you just need to look at what’s supported by HA.
Select the ones you want to use and implement them.
They won’t be linked unless YOU link them.
If you want check this site out. You can add to your existing alarm or new install. I have been using this for over two years. I removed my existing AT&T controller and added all my sensors to nodemcu board. Works with SmartThings, HA, and other hubs.

I’m probably making a rookie mistake with this, but can’t seem to figure it out. I’m trying to add a second alarm, but keep receiving the following error:
Setup failed for alarm_control_panel_2: Integration not found.
I copied and pasted my working alarm code and added an _2 at the end, so I’m not sure what I’m missing.
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: manual
name: House Alarm
code: !secret alarm_code
code_arm_required: false
disarm_after_trigger: true
arming_time: 30
delay_time: 30
trigger_time: 60
disarmed:
trigger_time: 0
armed_home:
arming_time: 0
alarm_control_panel_2:
- platform: manual
name: House Alarm 2
code: !secret alarm_code
code_arm_required: false
disarm_after_trigger: true
arming_time: 30
delay_time: 30
trigger_time: 60
disarmed:
trigger_time: 0
armed_home:
arming_time: 0
You could do it? Or not?
Nothing yet?
Sorry for not posting the solution here. This was definitely me being new and the solution was pretty simple. Using this, you can add as many alarms as you would like.
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: manual
name: House Alarm
code: !secret house_alarm_code
code_arm_required: false
disarm_after_trigger: true
arming_time: 30
delay_time: 30
trigger_time: 60
disarmed:
trigger_time: 0
armed_home:
arming_time: 0
# delay_time: 0
- platform: manual
name: Gun Safe Alarm
code: !secret gun_safe_alarm_code
code_arm_required: false
disarm_after_trigger: true
arming_time: 30
delay_time: 30
trigger_time: 60
disarmed:
trigger_time: 0
armed_home:
arming_time: 0
# delay_time: 0

Awesome, i am doing that modificacion right now.
Credit to @Bsodi who had this solution posted earlier, but it was a little confusing for someone who’s really new to YAML.
