+To use the existing code configured for the Alarm Control Panel the `code` must be 4 digits and the `code_format` attribute must be `number`. After discovery, the Alexa app will offer the ability to use the existing `code`, or create an additional 4 digit PIN to use with Alexa.
 
 The existing code is never communicated to Alexa from Home Assistant. During disarming, Alexa will ask for a PIN. The PIN spoken to Alexa is relayed to Home Assistant and passed to the `alarm_control_panel.alarm_disarm` service. If the `alarm_control_panel.alarm_disarm` service fails for any reason, it is assumed the PIN was incorrect and reported to Alexa as an invalid PIN.
