Alarm Control Panel

This integration adds an Alarm Control Panel device for each configured area, with the ability to issue arm/disarm commands. This entity reports state (disarmed, armed_away, etc.).

Authentication

The primary means of authentication for the Mode 2 API is the Automation passcode. It needs to be at least 10 characters long, and it is different from the User code – a shorter numeric pin used to arm/disarm the panel. The integration will prompt for the required passcodes, which depend on the panel type.

Solution User 2
B Series Automation
G Series Automation
AMAX Both

Important

Since the Mode 2 automation user has “superuser” privileges, it bypasses the regularly configured alarm pin: you will not be prompted for a User code when arming/disarming through the integration.
