Alarmo Homekit won't set about alarmo

[nielsfaber]

Have also noticed version error after update

Clear your browser cache to fix thi.

If Alarmo states that the wrong code was provided, I think its safe to assume this is indeed the case.
Hence I dont think this is a bug on the side of alarmo.

As described in the documentation, you need to define the pin code in the homekit configuration.
Did you do so?

Hi

This is a screen shot of my yaml settings and I know the code is correct as I only have one code and it works fine from my Sonoff NSPanels and My Linkind keypad

Thanks

In the setup docs you say the following

"In case you have Alarmo configured to require a code for arming/disarming, you need to setup homekit in yaml mode (instead of via the integrations page)."

So can you clarify this as when I remove Alarmo entity from my HomeKit bridge Alarmo disappears from HomeKit

I have added the text shown to the yaml

Unfortunately, this is certainly not the first time this has happened after an alarmo update.

After the update, alarmo no longer works here either.

Perhaps the maker can first ensure stability. Over the past year, after every update, it doesn't work again.
Stability seems to me to be priority 1 and nice wishes or additions 2

@eddiebullman @aavosnl
I don't use Homekit myself so i don't know how to help troubleshooting this issue.
I recommend to first test if Alarmo works fine outside of Homekit (via HA dashboard, alarmo-card, etc.)
If this is the case, I doubt there is anything i can do to fix this.
The issue might also be caused by the Homekit integration in HA.

Since Alarmo claims a wrong code was entered, you can also take a look at what code is received via homekit.
You can replace alarm_control_panel.py (located in custom_components/alarmo) line 405:

alarmo/custom_components/alarmo/alarm_control_panel.py

Line 405 in 38823bd

code = kwargs.get(const.CONF_CODE, "")

by

   code = kwargs.get(const.CONF_CODE, "") 
   _LOGGER.error("Alarmo received command for arming into mode {} using code {}".format(arm_mode, code))

Make sure the indentation is correct, else alarmo will fail to load.

Changing python file requires a restart of HA.
After restart you should see the result in the HA log.
Note that the entered pin code will (should) be printed in the log, so make sure to remove the modification after testing.

I don't work with home kit either
now done as the following

alarm removed. ha rebooted, complete reboot

alarmo reinstalled.

Even now the alarm card does not work. As long as there are no sensors attached to it, it will switch on via the card, but with 1 simple motion sensor linked to the alarmo and it will no longer switch on any options

In the documentation says define the pin code in the yaml file not in the integrations page Which I have done But do I remove it from the integrations page ?

Have put this in the file but can't find in the logbook the info I am looking for

[eddiebullman]

Just to test a theory of mine I remove the Text from the /homeassistant/configuration.yaml and I still get the same error so I must be putting the text in the wrong place or the wrong text.

This is what I put in the configuration.yaml file

homekit:

• filter:
  include_domains:
  - alarm_control_panel
  entity_config:
  alarm_control_panel.alarmo:
  code: 1234 # should be identical to a user in Alarmo as well

That is not the true code but

please can you assist

[eddiebullman]

Sorry for being Pain on this one. I now have this sorted it was down to me not understanding that you needed a separate HomeKit bridge configured which was automatically created when you add the text to the configuration.yaml which needed pairing buy it's self.
