Arming Without a Code Causes Error After 2024.6 Upgrade about alarmdotcom HOT 13 OPEN

from alarmdotcom.

I updated the py file and then restarted HA and it worked right away

the only line I needed to add was

_attr_code_arm_required = False

for me to match spacing of the example
it was on line 71

from alarmdotcom.

I can confirm this is an issue for me, as well. Suddenly all of my security routines began erroring out and it took me all day to figure out why they weren't working.

Going to try the fix mentioned for now.

Seeing the same here. Can't manually arm from the dashboard now either, but can disarm from the dashboard fine. Seems to be related to home-assistant/core#118668 as bumpaneer mentioned.

I'm on the same boat, thanks for reporting it @bumpaneer

a couple of silly questions to be able to leverage your workaround:

• Once you changed the file to add the code, how did you make HA take the update? Was reloading the integration sufficient? Or what else do you need to do so that HA actually takes the change?
• Which specific file did you change? was it the file under config/custom_components/alarmdotcom or somewhere else?

Thanks! Working for me too now. I didn't know it was required to start all of HA to reload integration, TIL.

Is adding _attr_code_arm_required = False the ideal fix for this? If so we should get a PR submitted with that change.

I'm having the same issue. getting this fix published would be appreciated

This is a new requirement introduced by the update 2024.6. Thank you very much @thomasshawn! You just need to add the line where he mention and reboot HA and everything is working as before again!

PR submitted for this, the package maintainer will need to approve it and cut the new release: #413

from alarmdotcom.

Which py file do we need to add the code part? I haven't found a relevant line 71 spot so far in any of them.

You need to edit alarm_control_panel.py and find line number 65 which should be...

class AlarmControlPanel(HardwareBaseDevice, AlarmControlPanelEntity):  # type: ignore

Then find this line under that...

    _device: libPartition

Then add this after it...

    _attr_code_arm_required = False

So that the whole thing looks like...

class AlarmControlPanel(HardwareBaseDevice, AlarmControlPanelEntity):  # type: ignore
   """Alarm.com Alarm Control Panel entity."""

   device_type_name: str = "Alarm Control Panel"
   _device: libPartition

   _attr_code_arm_required = False

If you installed it via HACS the files for the package will be in your home assistant config directory in a directory called custom_components/alarmdotcom. Once that edit is made, restart home assistant.
