YET another take on an alarm system

gazoscalvertos · November 12, 2017, 11:50pm

My custom version of an alarm panel hoping to bring many new features at the request of fellow patrons.

Tested with HA Version 0.60.1

You can find the github here: https://github.com/gazoscalvertos/Hass-Custom-Alarm

Please contribute to this thread and submit your requests, suggestions, ideas and pitfalls!.

Features:

MQTT Integration
Google Assistant Integration
Clock display (Optional)
Weather Status (Optional) - NOTE: You must have dark sky weather component enabled specifically sensor.dark_sky_summary.
Digit code (0-9) entry on disarm
Customisable themed colours depending on alarm state, ie blue disarmed, orange pending, black armed. red triggered
List of open sensors with override option
Perimeter Mode (Optional) - Allows you to part activate the alarm in Home Day mode. I use this to only arm a particular set of sensors (doors) whilst I’m using all floors.
Countdown timer on ‘Pending’ state
Panic Mode

To be implemented:

Persistence support
Customisable Themes
Time Based themes (Dark at Night - Light during day)
Possibly a full black one with a Cylon style bar when activated?
Guest mode / reduced feature set
Anything anyone else can think of

Google Assistant Notes:

Follow this guide to setup google assistant if you haven’t already done so.

Then add 2x scripts into your scripts.yaml:

alarm_arm:
  sequence:
    service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_arm_away
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
alarm_disarm:
  sequence:
    service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_disarm
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
    data:
      code: 9999

Then create 2x shortcuts in the Google Home app

When I say “Arm house” > “Turn on alarm_arm”
When I say “Disarm house” > “Turn on alarm_disarm”

Based on @drytoastmans code here A different take on an alarm system

Wow! Just amazing! Will implemet this with a small touch screen in my entrance… Hioe therenwill he some designers here to pep up the interface …nice work.will test it and give a feedback

elRadix · November 13, 2017, 10:48am

don’t know if this possible to have the breached sensor name showing a bit cleaner, seems it’s not using the friendly name?

thundergreen · November 13, 2017, 1:21pm

HI all… for me the two sensorgroups are not really clear. Which group does what exactly? Sorry for dumb question

Doubleho7 · November 13, 2017, 2:53pm

Hi, I can pick up the alarm in HA, however when clicking on the Alarm tab it’s blank, when using the developer tools I get the following error

Doubleho7 · November 13, 2017, 3:03pm

Never mind I had to clear my cache

nebbiadigiorno · November 13, 2017, 4:56pm

i have a question. in the alarm.yaml what does the:

alarm: automation.alarm_triggered
warning: automation.alarm_warning

?
can i use the old:

alarm: switch.Alarm
warning: switch.Warning

?

Hi gazoscalvertos, I’m a bit of a noob and probably missing something simple.

I use the below code for my automations.
Do you know what I’m missing?
The alarm works perfectly fine in Away mode, however when using Home mode. I do not get the notifications nor do I get the siren sound as I would in away mode. Maybe I’m missing something?

You can use the friendly name of the device, I’ll post some sample code this evening and upload to the github

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 6:33pm

‘Delayed’ - Sensors in this group will trip the alarm but will not activate the siren/trigger state until after the ‘pending_time’ period unless the alarm is deactivated.

‘Immediate’ - Sensors in this group will activate the siren/trigger state immedilately when tripped.

‘Homemodeignore’ - Sensors in this group are ignored completely when the alarm is set in home mode. This allows you to 'partially ’ set the alarm.

Does this help?

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 6:33pm

It’s always advisable to clear the cache when implementing any code changes

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 6:34pm

Thanks @thundergreen I’m thinking of adding bootstrap library to make mobile/desktop design responsiveness easier

thundergreen · November 13, 2017, 6:36pm

Yeah. Didn’t check the ui yet but as I’m very interested notbinky in technical aspects but also in design …it would be nice having a smart clean and easy GUI… (Wife acceptance factor)

Stupid question but I can’t see the GUI actually… I added all files and configured according to ky sensors but won’t see it not the frontend

Just saw that i forgot to add alarm_panel: !alarm.yaml. restarting… Will give a feedback

Again my fault not adding custom panel file…restarting has and reporting later

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 7:41pm

Without testing or checking the code I’m not sure if switch would work.

I would advise you to to setup the automations as you will need them in order to deactivate however the siren if you are using one.

thundergreen · November 13, 2017, 7:43pm

Big issue… I’m missing the number 0 on the pad… My code includes those… Now I activated alarm and can’t disarm

thundergreen · November 13, 2017, 7:49pm

Is it possible to somehow setup an automation for alarm pending like a sound or something?

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 7:57pm

Add alarm_control_panel.house to group.yaml then it will allow you to click and add the code using free text. I’ll implement the 0 in the next release.

For the alarm pending sound just setup an automation such as:

alias: ‘[Alarm] Pending’
trigger:

platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: ‘pending’
action: [whatever sound device you want etc]

nebbiadigiorno · November 13, 2017, 7:58pm

Now i have automation based on te state of alarm. I cant undertand what your code does.

gazoscalvertos · November 13, 2017, 7:59pm

This code takes care of the automation inclusion for the sensors providing you have set the groups up in alarm.yaml so there is no need to list each sensor in the automation.yaml.

All you need in automation.yaml is actions to trigger siren/notifications/sounds/etc and ones to disable siren.

I’ll upload a sample automation.yaml to the github tonight.

grikka · November 13, 2017, 8:38pm

awesome work!

Quick question, for whatever reason under "All Sensors"I only get a few occupancy sensors, and not any Open/Close sensors, is that the intended behavior? (alarm state is disarmed if that matters)
