5 months ago Version 3.4.2 by the way.
I look at the mqtt diagnostics and see:
"state": { "entity_id": "alarm_control_panel.tyxal_alarm", "state": "disarmed", "attributes": { "code_format": null, "changed_by": null, "code_arm_required": false,
So with code_arm_required false, panel is not shown.
So I looked into the code (no knowing what I'm doing, of course):
app/sensors/Alarm.py shows:
if self.alarm_pin is None:
self.config['code'] = self.alarm_pin
self.config['code_arm_required'] = 'true'So I guess that if I do not setup an alarm code in mqtt2tydom configuration, then the 'code_arm_required' is set to true and the alarm panel card will show the numpad.
BUT, if I don't setup a code, the alarm entity is not created and there is an error in the homeassistant.log complaining about a code set to 'None':
2024-01-25 17:27:26.470 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.mixins] Error 'string value is None for dictionary value @ data['code']' when processing MQTT discovery message topic: 'homeassistant/alarm_control_panel/tydom/xxxxx/config', message: '{'name': None, 'unique_id': 'xxxxx', 'device': {'manufacturer': 'Delta Dore', 'model': 'Tyxal', 'name': 'Tyxal Alarm', 'identifiers': 'xxxxx'}, 'command_topic': 'alarm_control_panel/tydom/xxxxx/set_alarm_state', 'state_topic': 'alarm_control_panel/tydom/xxxxx/state', 'code_arm_required': 'true', 'code': None, 'json_attributes_topic': 'alarm_control_panel/tydom/xxxxx/attributes', 'platform': 'mqtt'}'
If I do setup a code, then no error in the log, and I can turn on/off the alarm, but without a code. For completeness, here is the log when I setup a code:

Hi,
14 months ago I tried to integrate my Delta Dore installation with mqtt2tydom in my HA and I gave up: too many things not working.
A year later, I try again and everything works! Lights, cover, dvi, alarm.
Good job!
One things bothers me: deactivating the alarm does not require the user to enter a code. I see this as a problem when my HA dashboard is mounted next to the front door.
Is there a way to request that the user enters the code?
