i’m on 85.1 and even tried with a dev build and dont get any issues
what is the full error message,
Are you using the latest build of the alarm component
That is changed in 0.85, see the release notes below.
Hi al, i am also interesed in a new alarm panel , i am now using the MQTT platform and NOT the manual_mqtt platform, because all my logic is my external alam system, i am just sending/receiving mqtt for status and arm/disarm commands, therefore i cant use the manual_mqtt platform
but the mqtt platform now, is verry basic and limited,… so can i use this project instead?
now the onlt thing i can setup is like this below, thats all
alarm_control_panel:
# - platform: manual_mqtt
- platform: mqtt
name: Risco Alarm
state_topic: "riscopanel/armstatus"
command_topic: "riscopanel/armstatus/SET"
payload_disarm: "disarmed"
payload_arm_home: "partially"
payload_arm_away: "armed"I see the exact same error. It triggers when I try to arm my alarm. Unfortunately something else also happened after the update. I no longer see the keypad which I also stated in another thread.
My alarm panel shows the temp info in Celsius, but all my other displays are in Fahrenheit. How do I fix this? I have units set both in configuration.yaml, and under the darksky sensor.
Thank you!
@AhmadK I am getting it when arming or disarming the alarm.
@aidbish This is the full error
@gerard33 I know… I was on 0.84.6 when it was working fine last time.
@Yoinkz Yes, me too. I have a panel on my lovelace which I am using to arm or disarm the alarm, and I also cant see my keypad. However if I use the default custom panel of this alarm, it works fine, but I still get the same error.
I have this alarm panel and was working fine until 0.84.6 version.
After updating to 0.85.1 it stopped working.
Yesterday I formatted my raspberry and started all over again with new installation of raspbian and HA in virtual environment but still no go…
Two days now, I am trying to figure out what is going on, and I hadnt enabled persistence mode. I just enabled it, and I am now getting this error in addition to the previous one.
I have to note that the alarm is working fine. Arming, disarming, triggering and the automations. I am just getting this error and now my panel in lovelace, is useless. I cant disarm the using the default panel unless I open the custom one.
Well, all I can say is I updated from 0.83.2 to 0.85.1 and saw some breaking bugs (for example, one cannot have __ in input_boolean, input_datetime, input_number or sensor names) and and plenty of sql-related exceptions in the log. Almost immediately roles it back and waiting patiently for a proper update 
Did you use the ‘WIPE AND RESTORE’ or the ‘RESTORE SELECTED’?
First time I’m doing this 
there were breaking changes in .85 regarding entity id’s. have you checked that out in the release notes
post the contents of your alarm config/automations for alarm. this maybe able to help whats going on
I’m getting the same error about entity_id: “all” however I can’t see anywhere in alarm.yaml or automations.yaml that has a missing entity_id so I’m wondering if it’s in the code code of this alarm system? (ie: bwalarm.py)
I’m having the same issue. It was working yesterday, then I updated today and no bueno. You’d think that a “warning” wouldn’t limit functionality, but so much for that concept. Hoping for a resolution soon!
It looks like it’s coming from an http call between the alarm panel and the component. But it’s a little out of my league to figure out (but I am looking into it). Hopefully, @gazoscalvertos can jump in with a quick fix:

2019-01-20 21:55:42 DEBUG (SyncWorker_9) [custom_components.alarm_control_panel.bwalarm] [ALARM] Pending user leaving houseI believe it happens when alarm control panel reacts to Away/Home button - it sends an event to the alarm to change state. Needs to be changed in alarm’s code.
However, it’s just became deprecated, and I assume that it does not affect functionality at the moment as it’s only a warning.
The problem that I’m seeing is that none of my notifications in automation.yaml are being sent. I created a test trigger that works fine, and the only visible indication that something is different is the warning that I’m getting about entity_id; so I am presuming that’s stopping the notifications.
This code works from the switch on the Overview page:
#################### # TEST #################### - id: test alias: 'test' trigger: platform: sun event: sunset action: - service: notify.ios_tommys_iphone data: title: "Alarm Away Mode Armed" message: "This stuff isn't working and it's driving me crazy" - service: tts.google_say entity_id: media_player.living_room data: message: "This stuff isn't working and it's driving me crazy"s
But this does not, even from manually setting the mode from the Overview page:
####################
Armed - home
####################
- id: alarm_armed_home
alias: ‘[Alarm] Home Mode Armed’
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: ‘armed_home’
action:- service: notify.ios_tommys_iphone
data:
title: “Alarm Away Mode Armed”
message: “The house alarm has been switched on in home mode.”- service: tts.google_say
entity_id: media_player.living_room
data:
message: “The house alarm has been switched on in home mode.”
Well, you didn’t mention it’s not working anymore (mine worked until I rolled Hass.io back).
If that’s the case, it needs to be addressed if the author is still available.
I’m pretty new to all this, but I just tested again and here’s what I’m finding. Using the code above (with Test and Armed-Home modes), if I 'switch on" test from the Automations section in my Overview page, nothing seems to happen. But if I go into the Logbook page, select the test entity, then choose Trigger from the popup, I’m getting the notifications. But for the alarm, whether I use the Alarm panel, or the Automations section in Overview, or under Logbook - I never get the notifications.
Perhaps I’m an isolated case, and it’s some other issue. But regardless, I’m hoping that someone can help figure out what’s going on !
Hello,
First off, I love this alarm panel and keeping up with this post has been immensely helpful.
I can arm Home and Away and get pushbullets for both. The siren turns on when the alarm is triggered and I get a pushbullet for that as well. I cannot seem to disarm the alarm when triggered. I see state change to “disarmed” but still, I get no pushbullet, nor am I able to silence the alarm when it’s been triggered. Any advice? My automations are below.
- id: alarm_armed_away
alias: '[Alarm] Away Mode Armed'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: 'armed_away'
action:
service: notify.pushbullet
data:
message: 'The house alarm has been switched on in away mode. Goodbye'
- id: alarm_armed_home
alias: '[Alarm] Home Mode Armed'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: 'armed_home'
action:
service: notify.pushbullet
data:
message: 'The house alarm has been switched on in home mode. Goodnight'
- id: alarm_triggered
alias: '[Alarm] Triggered'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: 'triggered'
action:
- service: switch.turn_on
entity_id: switch.siren
- service: notify.pushbullet
data:
message: 'ALARM TRIGGERED!!!'
- id: alarm_disarmed
alias: '[Alarm] Disarmed'
trigger:

entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house

- service: switch.turn_off

Thanks so much!
I figured out my problem. I didn’t understand what the Automations section was for on the Overview page, and they were all turned off.
just for info, i am also receiving this warning below,
and i am not even using this alarm project, i am using the original mqtt one
[homeassistant.helpers.service] Not passing an entity ID to a service to target all entities is deprecated. Use instead: entity_id: “all”
Yes - I’m seeing that as well. It’s just a warning, so doesn’t impact functionality or performance. It’s somewhere in the alarm code. (see my previous posts, above).
