Scout Alarm for Home Assistant

A custom Scout Alarm Integration for Home Assistant.

Installation

1. Copy the custom_components/scout_alarm directory from this repo to your Home Assistant installation.
2. Add the integration via the UI.

YAML Configuration

If you prefer to configure the integration via YAML instead of the UI, add something like the following to your configuration.yaml:

scout_alarm:
  username: !secret scout_alarm_username
  password: !secret scout_alarm_password
  modes:
    armed_away: Away #value should match the name of the mode in your Scout system
    armed_home: Perimeter
    armed_night: Night

Note that not all modes need to be mapped, but values do need to be unique, so do not map multiple states to the same scout mode.

Supported Devices

• Door Panel
• Access Sensor
• Motion Sensor
• Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector
• Water Sensor
• Glass Break Sensor
• Door Lock

Unplanned but would accept contributions

• Scout Indoor Camera
• Scout Video Doorbell
• Keypad

Created Entities

An alarm_control_panel entity is created whose state will reflect that of your scout alarm.

A binary_sensor entity is created for each supported Scout device.

A sensor entitity is created for Temperature and Humidity for those Scout devices that report on that data.

For any one Scout device (i.e, Motion Sensor), up to three Entities might be created (the binary_sensor for the device and two sensors for temperature and humidity).
