I’m using the Manual Alarm Control Panel with the MQTT Alarm Control Panel app on my Android
This is my configuration.yaml entry
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: manual_mqtt
state_topic: home/alarm
command_topic: home/alarm/set
pending_time: 30
delay_time: 20
trigger_time: 4
disarmed:
trigger_time: 0
armed_home:
pending_time: 0
delay_time: 0
These are my alarm delay settings on the App.
This is my automation to trigger the alarm:
alias: Alarm Trigger
trigger:
- entity_id: binary_sensor.ecolink_doorwindow_sensor_sensor
from: 'off'
platform: state
to: 'on'
condition: []
action:
- data:
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm
service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger
And automation to sound an alarm:
alias: Sounds Siren
trigger:
- entity_id: alarm_control_panel.ha_alarm
from: pending
platform: state
to: triggered
condition: []
action:
- data:
entity_id: switch.aeotec_zw080_siren_gen5_switch
service: switch.turn_on
I’m having these issues
-
with the alarm in armed_home state I change the state of my door switch to trigger the alarm. The alarm control panel shows the keypad with a 20-second countdown. The countdown ends, then 10 seconds later the siren sounds and I see the red “alarm” screen. I was expecting the siren to sound immediately. Instead of the alarm going into a pending stage.

With the alarm in armed_away mode I change the state of my door switch to trigger the alarm. The alarm state changes to pending but the alarm control panel does not change. It just says “system armed away”. I was expecting to see the pin pad and 20-second countdown that I saw for the armed-home state. After 50 seconds the alarm changes from pending to triggered, my siren sounds and the control panel changes to the red alarm screen.
I can’t find out why this is happening this way. Based on my configuration.yaml entry it doesn’t seem like it should operate like this. Any guidance would be appreciated.
