The alarmdecoder alarm control panel platform allows you to control your AlarmDecoder alarms.

The requirement is that you have setup your AlarmDecoder hub.

{% linkable_title Services %}

The Alarm Decoder component gives you access to several services for you to control your alarm with.

• alarm_arm_away: Arms the alarm in away mode; all faults will trigger the alarm.
• alarm_arm_home: Arms the alarm in stay mode; faults to the doors or windows will trigger the alarm.
• alarm_arm_night: Arms the alarm in instant mode; all faults will trigger the alarm. Additionally, the entry delay is turned off on the doors.
• alarm_disarm: Disarms the alarm from any state. Also clears a check_zone flag after an alarm was triggered.
• alarmdecoder_alarm_toggle_chime: Toggles the alarm's chime state.

Note: alarm_arm_custom_bypass and alarm_trigger, while available in the services list in Home Assistant, are not currently implemented in the Alarm Decoder component.

{% linkable_title Attributes %}

There are several attributes available on the alarm panel to give you more information about your alarm.

• ac_power: Set to true if your system has AC power supplying it.
• backlight_on: Set to true if your keypad's backlight is on.
• battery_low: Set to true if your system's back-up battery is low.
• check_zone: Set to true if your system was recently triggered. When check_zone is true, it must be cleared by entering your code + 1 before attempting to rearm your alarm.
• chime: Set to true if your system's chime is activated. When activated, your system will beep anytime a door or window is faulted while the alarm is disarmed.
• entry_delay_off: Set to true if your system is in "Instant" mode, meaning the alarm will sound on any faults.
• programming_mode: Set to true if your system is in programming mode.
• ready: Set to true if your system is ready to be armed. Any faults, including motions sensors, will make this value false.
• zone_bypassed: Set to true if your system is currently bypassing a zone.

{% linkable_title Examples %}

Using a combination of the available services and attributes, you can create switch templates.
