Ok, I’ve just created a fork of this alarm panel that incorporates most of fixes/PRs to the original one (up to HA 0.92.0 inclusive) and you can check it out here.
Not sure if I need to create a separate topic for it… thoughts?
only query i have is the folder structure for the great migration
in your fork you have
custom_components/alarm_control_panel/bwalarm/alarm_control_panel.py
should it not be
custom_components/bwalarm/alarm_control_panel.py
Well, my thought was it’s easy to get confused for new users or people who didn’t read the whole 1768 posts in this topic (I know none!) to get the idea that it’s pointless to use the OP’s repository at the moment and they have to use mine one until the author is back.
There is no way to update the original post as well so it’s hard to convey that fork announcement.
And when they go “I followed the instructions and installed the latest version” what should we ask them first? Every single time?
But I’m not insisting…
Anyone who is interested in having a working version of this component is welcome to join a new topic dedicated to my fork that incorporates most of the fixes and pull requests up to this date.
I’ll follow mainly that topic to help with resolving further issues/PRs provided one uses that fork because at the moment there is little sense in supporting what’s in the OP’s GitHub as it’s just way too outdated.
Are you asking about those Home/Away buttons?
You can have them round, but it won’t be great to my taste, that’s why I have them rectangular.
Just edit alarm.yaml so in panel section there is
Long time ago I decided to have a 7" Android tablet as control panel for my alarm, and I still like the result.
It’s inexpensive and MILES more flexible than any hardware configuration. My only wish at the moment is to change its connection from WiFi to Ethernet…
Hello to everyone, I’m new here so maybe I’m asking a silly question… is there a way to exclude a sensor if it’s on the “on” state at the moment of arming? I explain with an example: I have a small window in my bedroom and i usually open it during summer nights; if i open it and then arm the alarm, after a while it is triggered by the “open” state of the window sensor. The only solution is not to use the sensor at all.
I’m a bit confused.
You cannot arm the alarm with your window open unless you click Override when it says there are open sensors.
And if you do so, the only reason for the alarm to trigger is if the window’s sensor changes its state to active, i.e from closed to open. It shouldn’t happen just “after a while”…
So could you be as detailed as possible about your issue?
One more important note - this component is abandoned at the moment. Please read this.
