Ring-mqtt Automations

Configuration

Hi,

I have integrated my Ring Alarm using ring-mqtt - all entities show up via MQTT discovery and I can arm and disarm the system via the frontend.

I however would like to create some automations based on the alarm state. When creating automations via the frontend Home Assistant provides the following pre-defined triggers:

102098183-cb8eb380-3e1e-11eb-8d11-0907c53af180
102098183-cb8eb380-3e1e-11eb-8d11-0907c53af1801240×1144 112 KB

I have tested using the “Home Alarm is disarmed” an “Home Alarm is armed home” options but they do not seem to trigger my automation when arming/disarming the system via Home Assistant. I have raised a GitHub issue on the ring-mqtt repo but it seems that these triggers are provided as part of the Home Assistant alarm module.

I can trigger automations using entity state changes, but was wondering why these provided device triggers do not work?

Hi @curtisjk , I am new to HA and I recently start my journey on HA and integrate with my Ring Alarm system. I installed ring-mqtt at my HA and I can see the status at the log. However, I can’t see alarm device, would you give me some pointers to see how I can trigger arm/away/disarm in HA? Thanks so much in advance
