Securitas Direct (Verisure EU) Custom Component [TESTERS WANTED]

Hi All,
A quick question does this component work WITHOUT an active subscription?

No, it doesn’t.

Hello,

This component works perfectly for me in france.
Nevertheless, I would like to have alarm state as a trigger of some automation.
I actually want to change mode of my heater when I activate my alarm.
Anyone can help me to set the trigger correctly ?
I chose a trigger type ā€œStateā€, put my alarm control panel. But I don’t know what to put into from / to fields.

Any help would be appreciated.
thanks !
Guillaume

I found, states was wrong :
arm_away
disarm

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.1240000
    to: arm_away

Hello,

It worked for me after lots of try, only because it finally worked only with user #1 !
I now have the control panel on my lovelace tab, however, nowhere to find anything else even if this is written : ā€œList all your installations and add a panel into Home Assistant.ā€
I’m from now on only able to arm/disarm the verisure system.

How may I know the value of the motion sensor ? Or if the siren is active ? Or to make it easier as this is my goal, how to be able to know if the alarm has been fired ?

Regards,

How do you install this?
I’ve never installed an addon ā€œoutside the boxā€ (Addons tab in HA)
I’ve tried to install this as a repository (Github) but it doesn’t pick it

Ciao, anche io sono nuovo, sto provando a configurare l’integrazione Verisure ma neanche mi fa fare il login, mi da sempre lo stesso errore: ā€œAutenticazione non validaā€ come posso risolvere?

I’ve tried both @guerrerotook’s and @javy97’s integrations.

With @javy97’s, I get log messages which contain the status of my alarm (and no others), but the integration does not show up in Home Assistant. I did have to add a "version" key to manifest.json for Home Assistant to accept it.

With @guerrerotook’s, I get a notification stating that the securitas integration could not be set up, and nothing in the logs.

I’ve set logging to debug for both custom_components.securitas_direct and custom_components.securitas. I’m running the latest Home Assistant (2022.10.0).

Any ideas what I might be missing to get any one of them to work?

I got @guerrerotook’s component to start. The issue was that my PIN code starts with a 0, and is read as an int. I had put it in quotes to ensure that it was read as a string. I’ve filed an issue in the repo.

IT has being solved on last update!

Can someone please go again from zero on this configuration?
I have a fresh installed Verisure alarm system in Italy. Reading through the comments I see that someone has successfully configured this integration.

My question is: how? In almost 400 comments I got a little lost honestly.
Thanks! :slight_smile:

Hello everyone, i’m trying to install this integration in ITALY.
followed instructions, i receive this error

The system cannot restart because the configuration is not valid: Invalid config for [securitas_direct]: required key not provided @ data['securitas_direct']['installation']. Got None. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 34).

my yalm line 34

securitas_direct:
  username: xxxxxx
  password: xxxxxx
  code: 1234
  country: IT

what is wrong?
thank you so much!

Error says that the ā€œinstallationā€ parameter is not set. Do note that you must insert such parameter in configuration.yaml. You can get your installation ID from the Verisure/Securitas App or web interface after login in:

This is the yaml code I have for Securitas Direct Spain:

securitas_direct:
  username: securitas_user
  password: securitas_password
  installation: securitas_installation_ID
  code: securitas_code
  country: ES
  lang: es

WOW. it works! thank you so much!

Can’t get it to work in France with the new Verisure app. The app itself always uses two-factor authentication (with a code sent by SMS to your phone) so I can’t see this ever being possible, sadly!

If anyone knows a way round this, please let me know.

You can create an extra user, for example ā€œHomeAssistantā€ with a very good password. And turn off the two-factor authentication. Use this user’s credentials in you home assistant instance.

Thanks. But sadly, Verisure France won’t let you turn off two factor authentication. I asked - twice - and they insist it’s impossible.

Hi
Same issue here in the uk. It was working fine for months on end. Suddenly stopped working and cannot disable the double factor authentication
Regards,

I’m in the UK and this stopped working suddenly over the last couple of days. Before that, it was super stable and working just fine.

Seems that there’s an authentication error ā€œ403 Client Errorā€. Any ideas on a fix/workaround?

They added two way authentication and now i think we need to authorize the device for the first time.
But i don’t know how to do it at the moment :frowning:
