This fork was created to maintain the original bwalarm custom component until its author is back. Feel free to create a new issue or pull request here if you downloaded code from my repo. The corresponding HA thread here
Manually: Copy the following folders into your home assistant configuration directory:
custom_components/bwalarm/ The alarm system code, resources and documentation there
resources This folder stores your alarm configuration and some user data (i.e badges)
Using HACS: If you have HACS custom component already installed, do the following:
- Click on Community in the left hand side menu on Home Assistant frontend
- Click Store
- Scroll down until you see Fork of Yet another take on alarm and click on it
- If necessary, select Show Beta from the drop-down menu under SETTINGS
- Optionally, select version from Available versions drop-down list (it has the latest one selected by default).
- Click INSTALL
- The integration is ready and you just need to copy resources and configure your integration.
Copy the this folder into your home assistant configuration directory:
resources This folder stores your alarm configuration and some user data (i.e badges)
To get things working with Home Assistant (HA) you need to add the following to your configuration.yaml:
alarm_control_panel: !include resources/bwalarm/bwalarm.yaml
You may need to restart HA if the component doesn't load first time as HA will need to install a dependency (ruamel.yaml).
It's advisable to start with a new bwalarm.yaml file (included in resources/bwalarm folder) with the minimum configuration set:
platform: bwalarm
You can always configure your alarm using web interface or by editing your bwalarm.yaml directly.
The default password to access the settings page is: HG28!!&dn
For more details please refer to the configuration description.
Manually: Currently the update process is pretty much similar to installation:
- Copy a new release archive/clone the repository from GotHub to a local folder on your computer.
- You only need to copy
custom_components/bwalarm/folder from the downloaded release to the same folder in Home Assistant structure. - Please note that you DON'T need to overwrite
resourcesfolder in Home Assistant structure as it contains your integration's configuration file (and possibly some additional resources).
Using HACS:
- Click on Community in the left hand side menu on Home Assistant frontend
- Click on Fork of Yet another take on alarm in Integrations
- Click UPGRADE
Bear in mind that if you use this method, it only updates custom_components/bwalarm/ folder and ALL user data inside that folder will be lost upon every update.
Please note that the component's code is loaded on Home Assistant startup and the panels' code (panel.html) is cached by browser.
Therefore, every time you update no matter how, you HAVE to clear cache of ALL of your browsers and then RESTART Home Assistant for changes to happen.
Please test and provide feedback/suggestions.
