Alarm control panel
Home Assistant can give you an interface which is similar to a classic alarm system. Please see manual alarm or template alarm for alarm configuration.
Building block integration
This alarm control panel is a building block integration that cannot be added to your Home Assistant directly but is used and provided by other integrations.
A building block integration differs from the typical integration that connects to a device or service. Instead, other integrations that do integrate a device or service into Home Assistant use this alarm control panel building block to provide entities, services, and other functionality that you can use in your automations or dashboards.
If one of your integrations features this building block, this page documents the functionality the alarm control panel building block offers.
