Expose pending/entry delay state as a callable HA service in standalone mode

Background

I’m running the Konnected Alarm Panel Pro in standalone mode and it’s excellent — almost everything I need is there. I have wired motion sensors connected directly to the board which work perfectly as entry triggers. To avoid running cables for door contacts I’d like to use wireless Zigbee/Z-Wave door sensors through Home Assistant instead.

The request

The Konnected HA integration already exposes services for arm away, arm home, arm night, disarm, and trigger alarm. The only missing piece is a pending/entry delay service. Without it there’s no way for a wireless door contact in HA to initiate the entry delay — despite every other state transition already being supported.

A The wireless door sensor in HA calls the pending service on Konnected, which starts the entry delay countdown exactly as if a wired sensor had tripped it. Konnected never needs to know anything about the wireless sensor directly.

Why it matters

  • Standalone mode stays intact — no need for Alarmo or making HA central to alarm logic

  • If HA is unavailable, wired motion sensors continue to trigger entry delay as normal — full fallback

Happy to help test if this can be considered. Thanks!

I think you should already be able to do this by calling the alarm_trigger action in Home Assistant in response to your wireless door contact opening. See:

Let me know if that helps or if I’m missing something.

Hi Nate, thanks for the reply. Will this trigger the alarm immediately or will it allow for the entry delay to be triggered (say for 30s) then the alarm goes off?

I just tested it. It does respect the pre-configured entry delay, so it should do exactly what you want! Here’s example YAML action you can use in your Home Assistant automation:

action: alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger
target:
  entity_id:
    - alarm_control_panel.alarm_panel_pro_xxxxxx_konnected_alarm

This does work! I imagined it would just trigger the alarm instantly. Does this mean the that the inverse is not possible? If a entry delay is set on the Konnected panel in standalone mode then a action from HA cannot trigger an instant alarm?
