Firstly let me thank you for your work, I found it very very helpfull. Is there any way to test the whole build (pcb's) before actually connecting it to alarm ? If I send an arm event(not connected to anything) nothing is showed in esphome log. My alarm is about 7 km at another location and I want to be sure that evwrything is ok before connecting the nodemcu to alarm. Another question. After I will connect it to alarm and go to the webserver created on esp, what would actually change in the list ? Now everything is Off, besides AC status which shows ON Many thanks my friend

Nothing will really process until the program gets input from the panel. You can add serial.prints or esp_logd statements at various points in the code before the dsc.loop if you want to check various states, such as in the function that processes arm events from the registered services. You could alsi simulate panel inputs with some added debug code to create tests if you know your way around C++ but that's not something that is part of this released code. This would be something done during development.
