Vanderbilt SPC Component - PIN code?

Configuration
1

Using the Vanderbilt SPC component alarm in lovelace, where can I put settings so it will require a PIN code to arm/disarm?

Extract from lovelace yaml

cards:
      - id: alarm_shed_panel_custom
        type: custom:alarm_control_panel-card
        entity: alarm_control_panel.shed
        show_keypad: true
        title: Shed Alarm
        style: '--alarm-color-disarmed: var(--label-badge-blue);'
        states:
          - arm_home
          - arm_away

With SPC component, it appears you can only arm/disarm alarm without needing to enter PIN?

Has anybody found a solution to this? I am experiencing the same issue here, I wish I could set a pin code required when arming.

I am also struggling to understand whether the SPC component support the trigger service, meaning can I actually make my alarm go off by calling the service?

Thanks, L.

The PIN functionality is not implemented in the integration, I gave it a try last year, but gave up quite soon when it didn’t work, since I didn’t really intend to use it myself.

If I remember correctly, there is no functionality to trigger an alarm, or even set an output in the integration, or the undelaying pyspcwebgw code. Setting an output is however implemented in the Lundix gateway, so it should be possible if you make a modified custom component of both… and the output could then be connected directly to an input to trigger an alarm… but otherwise I think the easiest for now is to use some kind of relay from another system to trigger an input…
