Powermax+ panel does not send "zone open" status

[rhannink]

Hello,

Whenever I have a door open, I am not able to arm the alarm. The Powermax+ panel shows a "zone open" on its display. Is it correct that this status is not sent to HA, so I can check for this status before I try to arm the alarm?

I can of courses check the status of the individual sensors, but getting the "zone open" status from the panel would me much more convenient.

Kind regards,

Remco

My Visonic integration gives my a binary_sensor.visonic_alarm_problem_to_arm sensor which tells me if I'm able to arm or not. If a window or door is open, this sensor reports a problem.

If you have a door open or sensor triggered then you will not be able to arm the panel unless you bypass that sensor.

"Panel Ready" is a Home Assistant Attribute of the Visonic Alarm Entity alarm_control_panel.visonic_alarm. If "Panel Ready" is false (or No) then you will not be able to arm your panel.

I create 2 sensor entities from 2 of these attributes like this

- platform: template
  scan_interval: 5
  sensors:
      visonic_siren_active:
        value_template: >-
                    {{ state_attr('alarm_control_panel.visonic_alarm', 'Panel Siren Active') == "Yes"}}
        friendly_name: 'Siren' 
      visonic_panel_ready:
        value_template: >-
                    {{ state_attr('alarm_control_panel.visonic_alarm', 'Panel Ready') == "Yes" }}
        friendly_name: 'Panel Ready' 

The Attributes are described here on the wiki
