Envisalink dsc issue

[owenmckeith]

The problem

Dsc controller flashes "programming" once every 5 seconds.
When arming system "arm stay" the system arms in away mode.
When disarming, the system immediately arms again, and can only be disarmed after a number of attempts from the envisalink app.

When removing configuration from home assistant, the alarm system with envisalink works normally.

Confirmed. Same issue. I also opened a ticket 2 days ago but your description is more accurate: #65729

Same issue. While the programming icon lights on the panel it will not accept input which sabotages actions. Do you think the cause is home assistant or update pushed to the hardware? Has anybody reverted there HA and stopped this behaviour? Not useful info: My wife says I'm in the doghouse

I'm having the same issue, the physical control panel "restarts" and shows "The system is not available" (translated from Swedish (Systemet är inte tillgängligt").
Not useful info 2: Yesterday, I installed a wifi adapter for the Envisalink, letting it take power from the 12v backup battery. The alarm triggered because of the "sabotage" (expected) but I couldn't turn it off because of panel being disabled. The whole family woke up in panic (I did this during late evening of course), and 10 minutes later I found the fuse to pull the power to the sirens. I'm now looking for a cheap hostel.

@dasb00ter you need to remove the Envisalink integration from configuration.yaml, check your config and reboot HA to regain the use of your physical panels. The problem is with an update to HA Core introduced in version 2022.2.1 or 2. There appear to be some workarounds being floated in other threads you can try in the interim, or just wait for a fix to HA Core before renabling the Envisalink integration again.

Seeing similar behavior on a DSC panel. Also if the panel is armed home and a ha reboot occurs the system will first come up in armed home mode but then switch to armed away some 10's of seconds later. In this state, the first attempt to disable the system from the ha ui panel fails with no visible affect but a second disarm attempt will disarm the system.

I think people who know more about the inner workings of HA have defined the problem and are working on a fix. You can either research and implement the fix/hac found in the other references or as I have done disabled the integration until a fix comes with a core update. Thanks to those looking out for us. I do look at the breaking charges before updating but I think this was unforseen. My wife is unhappy but that will pass
