RING KEYPAD UPDATE
In the US, Noonlight is what many people use, and the latest update to the Noonlight integration allows you to pass the type of alarm when you create the alarm event.

Full command documentation (or most of it, anyway) is on the Git page the OP created.įor the panic buttons on the side to work you'll really need to have a third party service set up that can process those. You can modify this for stay mode, disarm, adding or removing countdowns, etc.

Value_template: "'Įntity_id: binary_sensor.alarmo_invalid_codeĮntity_id: sensor.ring_keypad_v2_battery_level We need to create our own and the easiest way I found was to create a binary sensor that triggered if an error was received as part of an MQTT event. The reason for this is we need to capture error events because neither Alarmo or the basic Alarm component expose entities that reflect an error state. This will use either the built in MQTT server HA provides or an external one if you have that configured already. Second, when using Alarmo it's important to enable MQTT integration with it (the toggle is on the main config page). My automations assume you have Alarmo installed and working - while it's possible to modify them to use the basic alarm integration instead I haven't tried it. It takes the (basic) Alarm functionality and fills in a lot of gaps for usability, code management, zones, etc. Here's what I did:įirst, if you aren't already I strongly recommend using the Alarmo custom component in HA. It's a fantastic keypad, maybe the best available for Home Assistant, and now that the official ZwaveJS integration supports S2, available for more users.Īll this said it is a bit tricky to set up. It's ergonomic design is top notch as well - big, tactile buttons, motion-sensing backlighting, and clear action buttons for things like arming home, away, or disarm, dedicated panic buttons, etc. Properly configured, it really can act as a full keypad solution, with voice announcements on actions, countdown timers, and more. U/ImSorryButWho did a great job parsing out the capabilities of this keypad.
