+This platform enables the possibility to control a MQTT alarm. The alarm will only change state after receiving the a new state from `state_topic`. If these messages are published with RETAIN flag, the MQTT alarm will receive an instant state update after subscription and will start with correct state. Otherwise, the initial state will
+be `unknown`.
+
+To enable this alarm, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml` for a GET request:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+alarm_control_panel:
+  platform: mqtt
+  state_topic: "home/alarm"
+  command_topic: "home/alarm/set"
+  name: "MQTT Alarm"
+  qos: 0
+  payload_disarm: "DISARM"
+  payload_arm_home: "ARM_HOME"
+  payload_arm_away: "ARM_AWAY"
+  code: "mySecretCode"
+```
+
