No, that’s not possible for the time being.
Arm & disarm the manual alarm defined in Home Assistant, not what it is in Mi Home app.
So what are you try to make it?
Using a manual alarm defined within HA, be able to loop play gateway ringtones, to mimic the actual behavior of a real life alarm.
All started with one stupid bug in Mi Home. When alarm is triggered it shoots alarmsound right away. Since usually the disarm switch/panel is inside the door I couldn’t go in my house without triggering the alarm.
So I wanted to replicate the original Alarm feature in Mihome but in Home Assistant. And with these guys help I finally could do something similar, and now I have 15 seconds to disarm it. (couldn’t make their code work, so I made a way more stupid but working code)
Next step is intense testing on volume 1, and testing device tracker in AH and the final boss will be the Alarm+device tracker code.
At least this is what I try to make in a long term: Alarm function without interaction.
I’m intrested in youre code, can you please share it?
Thank you.
I’m interested too in your code if you share it.
Thx for your work.
You can use this
and this
Please share the code

Do you have some nice sounds stored here instead of the built-in?
Hey Plucky,
I took you well written script, but when I arm my system it starts looping the built-in countdown audio file (chaged it because I haven’t uploaded anything yet), but then the service logs goes crazy… it spams me with this and the whole HA seems to be slow:
EDIT: After a reboot - it now seems to be ok when arming - No errors. Unfortunately now it just started when the alarm is triggered - same error logs.
SOLVED: For some reason I had to run the script by arming → reboot. Then Arm again and trigger the alarm and reboot again. No error at this time!
Thanks
I need to check if I can still find the original ones I used to upload to the gateway
That would be nice :).
One question, I tried to set the volume to 0 in both arming and trigger and afterwards I restarted the HA. For some reason my gateway still just plays it with sound. Doesn’t the gateway know the value 0 or is the minimum 1 - do you know that?
Also are you using iOS?
If so, can you then perhaps share your conf for that?
I tried setting it up in my config file and I used your iOS automation to disarm it, but when I type in the code in the notification placeholder and clicks silencio, nothing happens 
IS there someone with a big big heart who can give me the code updated to get working my mi gateway with different door/Windows sensors and ha? I’m a newbe and i realized Now i need to write in an updated way not as shown in this post or I’m wrong? Thanks
Myself, I have a package with all this configuration, but it all depends on how you have your configuration structured: it may also be in configuration.yaml.
Thank you for sharing your code @pplucky. I think I’ve got it working. I had a few errors with the indentation here and there, yaml can be picky - but I managed to tackle that.
Tomorrow I’ll try and connect the arming sequence to my location tracker. And find a nicer sound for the ‘pending’ operation.
And I want to add some flashing lights when the alarm is triggered later. But first I must really, really go to sleep 
Yes, using iOS.
Aside from the configuration already shared above, I also have this:
ios:
push:
categories:
- name: Alarm
identifier: 'alarm'
actions:
- identifier: 'SILENCE_ALARM'
title: 'Silence Alarm'
activationMode: 'background'
authenticationRequired: yes
destructive: yes
behavior: 'default'
After having this added to your configuration and restarted Home Assistant, don’t forget to go to the app and under Settings / Notification settings, click button ‘Update push settings’.
It works fine here, but my alarm has no code, not sure if that may be the issue.
