Introduction

This is a Lovelace card for Home Assistant that can be used to control your Alarmo security system.

The card works on top of the alarmo custom component. You will need it this as well.

This card is only suitable for controlling entities (of type alarm_control_panel) which are generated by the Alarmo integration, you cannot use it with any other alarm integration in HA.

Features

The alarmo-card is similar to the Lovelace alarm panel card, but brings some extra functions:

A countdown timer is displayed when the alarm is in arming or pending state. It shows you how much time you have left for leaving the house / disarming the alarm.
A message is displayed when the arming of the alarm failed or the alarm has triggered, with an overview of the sensor(s) involved.
The card gives you feedback when a wrong code was entered.
You can resize the buttons
