Unable to set manual alarm

[i-am-shodan]

The problem

I use the manual alarm integration. It's been working for years. Now when I try to set the alarm I get the error message Failed to call service alarm_control_panel/alarm_arm_away. Validation error: Arming requires a code but none was given for alarm_control_panel.garage_alarm

The yaml I use to set this up is:

alarm_control_panel:                                                                                                                                                                                  
  - platform: manual
    name: "House Alarm"
    arming_time: 10
    trigger_time: 10
    delay_time: 60

I've got to the documentation and it looks like there is now a new option code_arm_required which is optional and defaults to true. So I've set code_arm_required: false. I still get the error.

I don't want an alarm code and the documentation says its optional

I am having the same issue but from a slightly different angle. I am using HomeKit device to access my Abode alarm system. As noted above it recently stopped arming and apparently requires the PIN code to be specified. I am using only the UI, no yaml. I found the post (below) with others having the same issue but in their case there was an ability to include the PIN in the UI and then arm would work. I cannot find the option in the UI to add the PIN in?

I have this exact same issue as @i-am-shodan I'd been using manual alarm for a while now (with 3 different alarms panels on the same system)

I used this code:

security system

alarm_control_panel:

• platform: manual name: Home Security System code: "2121" code_arm_required: false arming_time: 30 delay_time: 20 trigger_time: 4 disarmed: trigger_time: 0 armed_home: arming_time: 10 delay_time: 0

This did not work with the regular card, so I swapped to a mushroom card, all working fine now with no error.
