I'm struggling to make this integration at least being configured. Trying to setup latest 2.1.0.3, the installation doesn't match the documentation:

What is the alarm checkbox supposed to do?
What code value should be set? Keeping the default value of 4 throw an error showing code is supposed to be a string. What string exactly??

I'm a bit lost. What am I doing wrong? Any link to documentation would be appreciated.

Code: As u installed the Alarm together with Securitas (Hardware), u specified a code with Securitas (Code words as well). This code (digits, not characters --> string) u use for the Home panel normally. This code u have to enter here. User and password are not enough to access your Alarm for deactivation.

When installed, u will have a specific card in HA in which u have to enter the code to disarm. Arming is possible without this code.

Please see and post info from the log file in HA (Settings --> System --> Logs) always. Apart HA core version would be interesting.

Did u implemented in config.yaml anything related to securitas?

You are right. Alarm doesn't do anything. Let me remove that configuration.

It looks like my installation was rather old (> 10y) and initially was not configured with multiple user/password (I didn't even know that existed) I have now created a dedicated user/password for hass, and was able to setup the plugin accordingly.

Thanks both for the great help, closing.
