Hi everyone! I’m sharing two blueprints I’ve developed to make Alarmo (or any Home Assistant Alarm Control Panel) more powerful, reliable, and automated.
This suite solves two common issues: ensuring you never miss a critical alarm notification and automating your security states based on your daily routine.
1. Advanced Custom Notifications (Mobile App & Pushover)
This blueprint is built for high reliability and deep customization. Unlike basic scripts, it allows you to define unique payloads for every single alarm state.
- Mode Specificity: Individual settings for Armed Home, Away, Night, Vacation, Disarmed, and Triggered.
- iOS Critical Alerts: Built-in support to bypass “Do Not Disturb” and “Mute” with custom volume levels for triggered alarms.
- Redundant Alerts: Integrated Pushover support to send secondary emergency notifications if your primary phone app is unavailable.
2. Scheduled Alarm Control
Stop worrying about whether you remembered to arm the house at night. This blueprint automates your security states based on the clock.
- Full Mode Support: Set specific times for Disarmed, Armed Home, Armed Night, Armed Away, and Armed Vacation.
- Independent Toggles: Only automate the transitions you want; toggle off the ones you don’t.
- Parallel Processing: Designed to handle multiple schedule triggers without conflicts.
