Typical Configuration

More extensive example configuration, using most of the features.

UI vs YAML Settings

With the config flow, most settings are now managed in the UI:

Setting Where Notes
Alarm panel entity UI (setup) Selected when adding the integration
Change state using panel actions UI (options, Advanced) On for new installs, see Create Panel
Arm and explain by voice, Disarm by voice UI (options) Voice and chat commands, see Automated Arming
Bedtime sensor UI (setup, options) Times of the Day sensor for armed_night, see Recommended Recipe
Calendar entities UI (setup, options) Which calendars to use
Person entities UI (setup, options) Which persons to track for occupancy
Occupied states UI (options, Advanced - Diurnal) Alarm state when occupied by day, after bedtime and before bedtime
Times of the Day sensors UI (options) Sensors that set any other alarm state while on
Calendar end modes UI (options, Advanced - Calendar) What happens when an armed or disarmed calendar event ends
Triggers UI (options, Advanced - Diurnal and Advanced - Occupancy) Whether sunrise, sunset and people arriving or leaving re-evaluate the state
Sunrise and sunset UI (options) Earliest and latest times
Calendar match rules UI (options, Advanced - Calendar) Regex patterns matching calendar events to alarm states, copied from YAML if already there
Calendar poll interval UI (options, Advanced - Calendar) How often to check the calendars
Transitions YAML Condition templates for state transitions
Buttons UI (options, Buttons) Physical button entities and delays, copied from YAML if already there
Notifications UI (options) Notification service and targets, and priorities for Supernotify
Notification Profiles YAML Deprecated, replaced by deeper Supernotify integration in the options, and will be removed when Home Assistant 2027.4 is released
Rate limit YAML Throttling for arm calls
