When arming Away the status of the alarm continuously changes between armed and disarmed

[armandvanderwalt]

I have an interesting problem, when I arm the alarm using the stay command the alarm functions 100% as expected. But when arming with away the alarm status continues to switch between armed and disarmed. From what I have tested so far the alarm is in fact armed, but the status gets swapped between armed and disarmed for as long as the alarm is armed.

I am using the Home Assistant sketch.

Originally I had arm night also defined, but removed it today to test if that might have been the issue.

Here is my configuration.yaml

alarm_control_panel:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Home Alarm"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Partition1"
    availability_topic: "dsc/Status"
    command_topic: "dsc/Set"
    payload_disarm: "1D"
    payload_arm_home: "1S"
    payload_arm_away: "1A"

sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Home Alarm"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Partition1/Message"
    availability_topic: "dsc/Status"
    icon: "mdi:shield"

binary_sensor:
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Security Trouble"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Trouble"
    device_class: "problem"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Front Door"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone1"
    device_class: "door"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Sliding Doors"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone2"
    device_class: "door"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Back Door"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone3"
    device_class: "door"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Living Room"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone4"
    device_class: "motion"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Hallway"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone5"
    device_class: "motion"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Master Bedroom"
    state_topic: "dsc/Get/Zone6"
    device_class: "motion"
    payload_on: "1"
    payload_off: "0"

I have the PC1832

I only have one partition setup so I excluded the partitions I didn't need

I used nodered to get the mqtt messages posted on the Partition1 topic since connecting directly to the nodemcu with PC is tricky when connected to the panel, but if I need to do that let me know and I can make a plan.

This is the messages sent with their topics

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Exit delay in progress"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Exit delay in progress"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Away"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"armed_night"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Stay"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"armed_night"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message 
"Partition ready"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition ready"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Away"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"armed_night"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Away"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Away"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Away"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition ready"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Stay"

It continues like that until I disarm it where it then outputs

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1
"disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Auto-arm in progress"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Armed: Stay with no entry delay"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition disarmed"

dsc/Get/Partition1/Message
"Partition ready"

On home assistant the badge showing disarmed in this picture flashes between armed and armed night when choosing ARM AWAY button, but when choosing ARM HOME everything works exactly as expected.

Let me know what other information I can provide.

I am having this same issue using Homespan

I just rebuilt mine using this schematic and components and now it works perfectly https://github.com/taligentx/dscKeybusInterface/tree/master/extras/PCB%20Layouts/NodeMCU
