IFTTT Alarm Control Panel
The ifttt
platform allows you to integrate security systems that have no open API but can be controlled through IFTTT.
This platform depends on the IFTTT Home Assistant component. See the component’s documentation to set it up.
It is important to note that this platform fully relies on IFTTT to receive updates when the security system’s state changes. Therefore, this platform shows an assumed state.
To enable this, setup the required IFTTT applets as listed below and add the following lines to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
ifttt:
key: YOUR_WEBHOOK_KEY
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: ifttt
name: YOUR_ALARM_NAME
code: YOUR_ALARM_CODE
event_arm_away: YOUR_ARM_AWAY_EVENT
event_arm_home: YOUR_ARM_HOME_EVENT
event_arm_night: YOUR_ARM_NIGHT_EVENT
event_disarm: YOUR_DISARM_EVENT
It is strongly discouraged to use this platform when you don’t use encryption; otherwise, your API password will be send unprotected through the IFTTT Webhooks. It is adviced to setup encryption using Let’s Encrypt.
This platform supports the services alarm_disarm
, alarm_arm_away
, alarm_arm_home
and alarm_arm_night
. For each of these services, an IFTTT webhook will be triggered.
For this system to operate correctly, the following IFTTT applets have to be setup. Obviously, if your alarm device does not support some states, no applets have to be provided for those.
