page MQTT Alarm Control Panel Instructions how to integrate MQTT capable Alarm Panels into Home Assistant. 2015-09-14 19:10 true false true true mqtt.png Alarm 0.7.4 depends

The mqtt alarm panel platform enables the possibility to control MQTT capable alarm panels. The Alarm icon will change state after receiving a new state from state_topic. If these messages are published with RETAIN flag, the MQTT alarm panel will receive an instant state update after subscription and will start with the correct state. Otherwise, the initial state will be unknown.

The component will accept the following states from your Alarm Panel (in lower case):

  • 'disarmed'
  • 'armed_home'
  • 'armed_away'
  • 'pending'
  • 'triggered'

The component can control your Alarm Panel by publishing to the command_topic when a user interacts with the Home Assistant frontend.

To enable this platform, add the following lines to your configuration.yaml:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: mqtt
    state_topic: "home/alarm"
    command_topic: "home/alarm/set"

{% configuration %} name: description: The name of the alarm. required: false type: string default: MQTT Alarm state_topic: description: The MQTT topic subscribed to receive state updates. required: true type: string command_topic: description: The MQTT topic to publish commands to change the alarm state. required: true type: string qos: description: The maximum QoS level of the state topic. required: false type: integer default: 0 payload_disarm: description: The payload to disarm your Alarm Panel. required: false type: string default: DISARM payload_arm_home: description: The payload to set armed-home mode on your Alarm Panel. required: false type: string default: ARM_HOME payload_arm_away: description: The payload to set armed-away mode on your Alarm Panel. required: false type: string default: ARM_AWAY code: description: If defined, specifies a code to enable or disable the alarm in the frontend. required: false type: string availability_topic: description: The MQTT topic subscribed to receive availability (online/offline) updates. required: false type: string payload_available: description: The payload that represents the available state. required: false type: string default: online payload_not_available: description: The payload that represents the unavailable state. required: false type: string default: offline {% endconfiguration %}
