Forked from John Hurliman's FrontPoint* plugin for Homebridge<small>[](https://github.com/jhurliman/homebridge-frontpoint)</small> to replace the branding and code namespace from FrontPoint to Alarm.com.

> **NOTE:** Because this implementation uses Node.js-based HTTP requests to communicate with Alarm.com directly, this plugin does not require accounts or access with WrapAPI. :tada:

This is a drop-in replacement for Bryan Bartow's homebridge-alarm.com and John Hurliman's FrontPoint plugin for Homebridge with more functionality and the removal of any external dependencies (e.g., :no_entry_sign: WrapAPI :tada: ).

Accessories that you wish to hide in Homekit (e.g., fobs) can be identified by finding the Serial Number in the settings of the accessory in the Apple Home app, or alternatively in your output log (log level 3 or higher) when Homebridge starts up. If the accessories still exist in Homekit, please make sure that you have typed the serial number exactly. If they still continue to be displayed (or vice-versa they still don't show up after un-ignoring them), then you may be required to delete the `~/.homebridge/accessories/cachedAccessories` file as they may still be stored in the cache within Homebridge.
