I have been working on a version that can do this, however it's not very reliable. The problem is that to arm/disarm via the protocol we have to simply enter the code as if typing it into a keypad which isn't terribly effective, it can work but there are so many variables which can mean on occasion HomeKit gets out of sync with what the alarm is actually doing.
I'm going to look into what the protocols are for the newer Connect expansion module and see if it has a more smart home friendly single arm/disarm command with a status feedback.
Hey @kieranmjones any luck on the integration for this feature? Would be great to get this working. Do let me know whether you would like help with testing. I am in the process of purchasing the kit and getting it fitted. I was going to get the smartcom for sure to use the app on the phone, but now deciding to get the comIP as well to get this working.
Ahhh I see that @max-christian has taken ownership of the project, please see my update above.
Thanks!
@max-christian hi ! Just wondered if there is any likelihood of this being looked at ... would love both arm/disarm but a remote arm for certain areas / zone at night would be great. It is running really well and reliable at the moment !
Hello, sorry for the slow response. The Crestron protocol doesn't make this possible, it could only be done by simulating keypresses and reading what's on the alarm's LCD screen which is never going to be reliable unfortunately. It would be great to get the messages from the screen into the Homebridge log though, I'll do that soon.
I'm just wondering whether it is possible to arm and disarm the alarm via homebridge?
