Alarm Disable no longer working from automation #113

gdtms247 · 2020-07-26T21:30:56Z

The component:

Home Assistant: 0.112.4
BWAlarm (ak74 edition): v1.12.6
Hassio VM

I've had automated home/away working with the alarm for almost a full week now using a group state to tigger "away" and "home". Today now when my "home" automation triggers the alarm isn't disabled and I see this in the log. I've created some dummy automations just to see if I can trigger the disarm and those also aren't working.

[alarm_disarm] Failed to disarm: invalid passcode "None"

Here is my automation for home/away (the away works, home doesn't anymore)

Mate, I can see no alarm_disarm service call in your automations so why do you expect it to disarm anything.
So I need to see your bwalarm.yaml and the automation(s) that don't work.

gdtms247 · 2020-07-26T21:51:51Z

What do you mean "no alarm_disarm service call" ?

This works:

- id: '1595526713690'
  alias: Alarm Mode Away

This doesn't:

- id: '1595794667112'
  alias: Alarm Mode Home

Won't let me attach yaml extensions so code below. Is it better to zip it or save as txt for future reference?

What do you mean "no alarm_disarm service call" ?

This works:
- id: '1595526713690'
  alias: Alarm Mode Away
This doesn't:
- id: '1595794667112'
  alias: Alarm Mode Home

both your automations make a alarm_arm_xxx service call that arms the alarm but in the issue description you say

the alarm isn't disabled

and it shouldn't unless you use alarm_disarm service call - or I completely missed your point here.

Won't let me attach yaml extensions so code below. Is it better to zip it or save as txt for future reference?

you did the right thing - post it here as a block of code to prevent formatting.

gdtms247 · 2020-07-27T11:31:29Z

I follow you. I was flipping things around to troubleshoot and didn't change it back sorry about that. The naming is probably confusing I should have explained that "home" means someone returned so disarm the alarm and has nothing to do with the alarms arm_home setting which is unused in my environment.

I've updated my automation back to alarm_disarm service call which is the service that throws the alert. After I updated and saved it I manually executed the automation and got the password [alarm_disarm] Failed to disarm: invalid passcode "None" in the logs.

akasma74 · 2020-07-27T14:56:55Z

Well, the error message says exactly what happens - you are trying to disarm the alarm giving no passcode.
This component is designed so it does no allow to disarm without a code so you need to supply either master or user passcode.
Have a look at how it should be passed to the service call.

gdtms247 · 2020-07-27T16:23:33Z

I've updated my automation to send the code during the disarm service call and it works now (THANK YOU!)

I've had it running for over a week without any data in the service call and the disarm has worked great. Should I be concerned that it worked fine prior or doesn't work without it now?

akasma74 · 2020-07-27T22:43:20Z

Well, if you can reproduce disarm without code, I'll look into that..

gdtms247 · 2020-07-28T14:39:26Z

My friend has been running for months with the following automation and he does not enter his code during disarm call. I got help from him setting mine up and for the initial time we matched. Not sure what I changed on my side that now requires the code but his does not and is still working fine.

Where did you get it from? It's not bwalarm.yaml, it's more like what Delevoper tools -> States shows (and it's not the same).
