I have integrated the omnilink bridge with MQTT on my HASSIO implementation. I can see all of my sensors and status of the system. Great logging. I can not figure out how to implement the Alarm Card to actually Arm and Disarm the system. The alarm card will not show the keypad. Anyone else have this setup and maybe could provide some clues?
I use another brand of alarm system and this is how its attributes appear in Developer Tools > States:
code_format: number
changed_by: null
code_arm_required: true
index: 1
is_exit: false
timer1: 0
timer2: 0
armed_status: disarmed
arm_up_state: ready_to_arm
alarm_state: no_alarm_active
changed_by_keypad: null
changed_by_time: null
changed_by_id: null
friendly_name: Our Home
supported_features: 7
Compare that to your system, especially code_arm_required
. I believe if that is false
then the Alarm Panel Card won’t, by default, display a keypad.
Thank you for the reply. I will work on this later and post the result.
Mine is a bit less than your example above. I really wish that the Omnilink driver was documented fully.
service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_night
data:
code: 1234
So what is it? Does it contain code_arm_required
? What you posted isn’t a list of the attributes it’s a portion of a service call to arm an alarm panel.
I posted it above. For each individual arming function, that is all the code that exists.
I didn’t ask for that. I asked for something else, twice, and provided an example and explained where to get it. You didn’t post anything that I asked for.
Given that it seems we aren’t making any headway, I’ll step aside and let someone else assist you.
Good luck!
What I posted above is exactly what you asked for - My has nothing in the Alarm system settings under Dev/States except for the lines below.
format: null
changed_by: null
code_arm_required: true
friendly_name: AREA 1
supported_features: 55
Apparently everything with the Omni bridge is coded in the API and I can not locate any documntation on how allow the panel to accept a user code. I can not get the developer of the Omni bridge to respond. This may force my hand to change over to DSC.
Hi, can anyone tell me how to access flag values of HAI omni with omnilink bridge?
They are created as light entities in HA and cannot access flag value, only light on/off or brightness. Does not seem to have an attribute for flag value.
Thanks!
Anyone know how to tell what user disarmed the Omni? I’m converting from Homeseer to HA, and i can’t seem to find that to trigger an automation. For example, Maid disarms alarm with a specific code - runs automation.
Unfortunately, the Omnilink Bridge integration does not provide the user that disarmed the Omni. I moved from openHAB to HA a few years ago and openHAB is able to provide that information. I keep an openHAB instance alive only for that reason.
Otherwise, I’ve been very happy with the Omnilink Bridge. I created a work around in HA using my Yale z-wave door locks. A valid door code will unlock the door and disarm the alarm by sending a defined service code to the Omni panel. Keymaster sends me which code (user name) unlocked the door, and I have a separate notification the alarm was disarmed by HA.
