Interested in what the Perimeter function is ? would this just be for doors ? as an example ?
Could be any sensor, but I wanted to be able to arm the perimeter doors say when the wife gets in so she has the security of the door sensors but can freely roam the rest of the house.
Ah cool, i have effectively done this with with Home Mode, that secures all the downstairs Windows and Doors, but does not active the motion sensors in the lounge and utility room, would have motion sensors in other places but with a Husky he tends to set them off, so have sensored every window. and used the Motion sensors to use in the bathrooms and toilet lol
Cool idea thou…
Hopefully it will give her a little bit extra piece of mind as the ground/1st floor is armed under our home mode as we have three floors. We are basically using home mode as night time mode.
same here really… i can see its uses 
Panic Mode is cool, but for a work around I have a button on HADashboard…
I am considering changing the Tablet display next to the front door, to use your panel… as its much more informative,
Have you seen this? Custom UI: Tiles
Once I have the alarm panel in a good state I’ll set it up as a custom state card too then hopefully we can combine with the above and basically replace HAdash.

Interested to see this…
However I have invested a lot of time in HADashboard, have a lot of screens and information displayed, its probably used more but the rest of the family that never use the UI.
Interesting concept thou

thank’s a lot for the example, you did a beautiful job, really.
i have a question for you.
this automation:
- alias: ‘[Alarm] Warning’
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: alarm_control_panel.house
to: ‘warning’
action:- service: notify.pushbullet
data:
message: ‘ALARM Warning {{ states[states.alarm_control_panel.house.attributes.changed_by.split(“.”)[0]][ states.alarm_control_panel.house.attributes.changed_by.split(“.”)[1]].name }}’
target: email/[email protected]- data:
message: ‘Hello, the house alarm has been tripped. Please deactivate’
service: notify.example_phone_tts
the alarm never goes to the “warning” state.
and also, i can’t see the countdown for the pending time.
Apologies, I did this late last night and forgot to include ‘ids’ in the automation example. I’ve pushed an update to github
make sure your automation ids include alarm_warning and alarm_triggered.
As for the pending timer have you cleared the browser cache after installed the libs in the right folder? Do you see any errors in HA or your web browser console window?
nothing to apologies for. i think the problem is that in my set up the “alarm” doesn’t go in the “warning state”, after it is triggered it remains in the “triggered” state. How much time for the change between triggered and warning state?
now the countdown works.
The time between warning and triggered state is defined in your ‘pending_time’ config in alarm.yaml
You do need the automation defined as id: alarm_warning for this to work.
Also worth pointing out that the pending & warning state is only available in Away mode
ah ok, so “warning” is related for the delayed sensor, now i understand, sorry for the question.
When the alarm is triggered there is a way to automatically re-alarm it?
I don’t think I understand the question. Could you provide some context/example scenario?
i arm the alarm, the alarm is triggered. it remains in the triggered state until i disarm it. that’s it’s how the component works.
i wish the alarm after a certain amount of time (maybe 60 second?) it could re-alarm by itself, so it change the state from “triggered” to the previous state, ex: “armed_home” or “armed_away”. so the components start working again.
This is how the alarm works.
The ‘trigger_time’ (default 600 secs/10 minutes) defined in alarm.yaml determines how long the alarm should stay in trigger mode before reverting back to its previous state
So I guess I have made a mistyake here somewhere. I initially made very few changes to the github files and it seemed to work… then i realised that there was an error in the automation so i tried to fix it… then Hassio woundnt even load up. here is my automation file which seems to be causing the issue. if i # it out, hassio starts up so i know the problem is in this file. I have #'d oupt a lot of the example stuff but left it there for reference, other items are mine. can you please help me find out why it wont start up with this file included?

Just a thought …
problem solved! amazing! thanks
I’ve had another crack at changing the indents and use of ‘-’ to match another automation I have which works fine… but this one is still causing an error to load the ‘automation’ component. I dont know what else to fix in this code
