Hubitat Alarm.com App and Driver
The easiest way to install and keep up to date is to use Hubitat Package Manager. Search for Alarm.com to install
Hubitat Elevation app and device handler for alarm.com
This app and device driver lets you control your alarm.com panel through three switches (Disarm, Arm Stay, and Arm Away). The app will poll the alarm.com API periodically to fetch the latest state and update the switches accordingly; Allowing for the app and the panel to function independently.
On your Hubitat Elevation's admin page, select "Drivers Code", then click the "New Driver" button. Paste the Groovy driver code from this repository into the editor window and click the "SAVE" button.
Next, on the admin page, select "Apps Code", then click the "New App" button. Paste the Groovy app code from this repository into the editor window and click the "SAVE" button.
Navigate to the "Apps" section, and click the "New User App" button. Select "Alarm.com Manager", and enter your ADC credentials in the provided form fields. Click "Done", and the app will attempt to retrieve your panel identification number and create the child devices for controlling your panel.
Once your panel ID has been discovered, your panel can be controlled via the three newly created child devices: ADC Disarm, ADC Arm Stay, ADC Arm Away. Feel free to rename these to whatever suits you.
At any given time, one of the three switches will always be "on". For example, if your panel is armed stay, both arm away and disarm will be "off". To disarm your panel, you can either turn "on" disarm or turn "off" arm stay. If you wish to represent your panel with a single (most used) mode, add either arm stay or arm away to a dashboard or HUD of your choosing.
Password encryption notes: It is recommended that you select password encryption so that your alarm.com password is encrypted on the HE device. If you enable encryption, once your password is set it will not be populated in the preferences form. If you update the app preferences, you can leave the password field blank and the existing encrypted value will be retained. If you do not elect to encrypt your password, it will be re-populated in the preferences form for future updates.
It is also highly recommended that you use a secondary (service) account with reduced privleges that limit its ability to alter any alarm.com settings other than panel modes.
