If defined, returns a code to enable or disable the alarm in the frontend; an empty string disables checking the code. Inside the template, the variables from_state and to_state identify the current and desired state. Only one of code and code_template can be specified.
The state machine of the manual alarm integration is complex but powerful. Thetransitions are timed according to three values, delay_time, arming_timeand trigger_time. The values in turn can come from the default configurationvariable or from a state-specific override.
Many recommend Alarmo, but it seems abandoned 2 years ago. Is it good idea for this use case? If not, is there a better way than manually creating dozens of automations which may not work because I accidentally omit or confuse something?
But that episode showed me how fragile this entire setup was. And I decided I needed something more robust for an important system as the alarm. I have since moved the entire alarm logic outside of HA. If Alarmo was part of core, I would probably consider using it again though, as it is super convenient.
The unexpected challenge is finding out which sensor triggered the alarm and including that into the notification. I found forum threads spanning years where people are discussing if this is even possible.
Why did you need so many automations? I have 2: one to trigger the alarm (and notify me what specifically triggered it) and one to do whatever actions in the house (not even necessary to have a second automation, but it worked well/seemed cleaner for my specific setup).
You are right, it could have been as simple with the Manual Alarm. I used Manual Alarm documentation as a recipe and it separates alarm triggering from the action when alarm is triggered, also it deals with the pending state. I could have had just one automation with the Home Alarm as well.
The AFC-1000 is an expandable analog/addressable releasing fire alarm system with a total system capacity of 1270 addresses. Additional capacity on the system is achieved using multi-point SLC modules The control panel utilizes the exclusive Potter protocol that includes a complete line of sensors and modules. The system is expandable with a total of nine additional addressable Signaling Line Circuits (SLC) each with a maximum of 127 devices. Each SLC may be comprised of any combination of smoke sensor, heat detectors or modules and allows for a total of 50 ohms of impedance and may use any wire compliant with the National Electrical Code (NEC).
The AFC-1000 has a 10 Amp power supply with six Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs) and four Input/Output (I/O) circuits. The NACs are rated at 3 Amps each and the I/Os are rated at 1 Amp each. Each output is regulated and power limited. In addition, each output is uniquely programmable and may be configured for steady signal, strobe synchronization, constant power, door holder power, or releasing. The strobe synchronization includes Gentex, AMSECO, System Sensor and Cooper/Wheelock and with the exclusive Quadrasync each output may have a unique brand and all strobes will flash together. The I/Os are designed for inputs such as manual release stations and abort switches that will not require polling and react nearly instantaneously.
The NACs may be expanded using the PSN-1000 series intelligent power supplies. Each PSN-1000 adds another 10 Amps of power, 2 additional input circuits and the AFC-1000 will support up to 31 power supplies. The system will synchronize the strobes system wide. In addition, the PSN-1000E has space to allow the installation of up to six PAD100-SLCE SLC loop expansion cards. The cards mount on a stacker bracket that allows access to all SLC circuit connections.

System Features
The Lynx Plus Series control is a self-contained, rechargeable wireless control/communicator that features easy installation and usage. A built-in speaker provides voice annunciation of system status along with voice descriptors of each zone. An internal module (if provided) allows the Lynx Plus Series to communicate with the Central Station via the Internet.
Lynx Plus Series is not intended for UL985 Household Fire applications unless a 24-hour backup battery (P/N LYNXRCHKIT-HC or LYNXRCHKIT-SHA) is installed. Powerline Carrier Devices have not been evaluated by UL.
Mounting the Control
Wall Mounting
1. Release the front assembly from the back case by depressing the two locking tabs at the top of the unit with the blade of a medium size screwdriver. Separate the front and back case assemblies by rotating the front case so that it is perpendicular to the back case and unsnapping (releasing) the two hooks from the back case. Feed the field wiring through the appropriate openings in the back case. Use tie-wraps to secure the wiring to the built-in wire loops as needed. Mount the back case to a sturdy wall. Attach the front and back cases by connecting the hooks on the front case to the attachments on the rear case. Once attached, the hooks will support the front case and allow you to make the wiring connections. After all wiring connections have been made, snap the front case and back case closed and ensure that the control is secured by the locking tabs.
