Well that was it! I changed all the sensors to ‘on’ instead of ‘open’ and the alarm works!
Thanks to everyone that responded. Very much appreciated.

How did you determine the port for each of your konnected devices?
What type of switch are you using for the siren? I’m looking for a loud alarm/siren that I can trigger through HA.
Able to activate siren - unable to deactivate
I have an odd issue where I can trigger the siren when the alarm activates (triggered) but unable to turn it off with disarmed. Any pointers on what I may be doing wrong?
- alias: Activate Alarm
trigger:
- entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
platform: state
to: 'triggered'
action:
- entity_id: switch.siren
type: turn_on
- alias: Deactivate Alarm
trigger:
- entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
platform: state
to: 'disarmed'
action:
- entity_id: switch.siren
type: turn_off
As a note I am using BWALARM integation.
I also tried this
- alias: Activate Alarm
trigger:
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
platform: state
to: 'triggered'
action:
entity_id: switch.siren
service: switch.turn_on
- alias: Deactivate Alarm
trigger:
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
platform: state
to: 'disarmed'
action:
entity_id: switch.siren
service: switch.turn_off
It turns on, but will not turn off
Solved - For some reason the automations were not reloading all of them. It only loaded the first automation, nothing after till I manually told HA to reload automations.
