Status "bouncing" on sensors about alarmdotcom HOT 8 OPEN

This will be fixed in the next version of the integration. I'll post instructions for testing the new python library tonight.

Your ADT Commander is made by Ademco. Here's the FCC filing: https://fccid.io/CFS8DL-GRIPAIO7A/External-Photos/External-Photos-20190923-v1-ADT7AIO-EXHIBIT-4-1-External-Photos-4617041

If you’re relying on sensors to trigger automations, you’ll have a much more stable experience if you use the Qolsys Appdaemon integration with home assistant, or the Homebridge Qolsys plugin that you can then connect to via the HomeKit component. It gives you local access to sensors and works in realtime

I don't want to add more sensors, if that's what you are suggesting. I'd rather not add duplicate sensors to the doors and windows (there are a lot of windows in my house). The sensors I'm referring to are part of my existing alarm system.

If I'm missing something about your suggestion, my apologies.

I am not suggesting that, I’m suggesting you use a different method to integrate your alarm panel into Home Assistant, assuming yours is made by Qolsys like many alarm.com panels

Ah, gotcha. I looked at all the pictures I could find of Qolsys panels and, while mine kinda looks like one of their panels, I couldn't find one (current or legacy) that exactly matches mine. For example, all of the Qolsys panels have their arming indicators as a single light on the right edge or dual LEDs at the top in opposing corners. My Panel has two lights sandwiching the camera in the center of the top bezel, AC Power indicator and Ready/Arm status.

Beyond ripping the panel off the wall and snooping around inside, how can I be sure? ADT and ADC do a pretty good job of rebranding the interface. There isn't even a mention of ADC in ADT's version of the interface, let alone a model number for the panel. ADT only refers to the panel as the Commander 7". Looks like this:

Just a thought, instead of discussing the use of Qolsys as an alternative here in this bug report, we should probably talk about this as its own Discussion topic since this contributes nothing to the bug report, itself.

Thanks for the info!

The new version is ready for testing. See #391 if you're able to help. Thanks!
