button-card VS alarmo

I use the custom button card but any card that support tap_action should do. This may be more complicated than you need but I also use decluttering templates (which I omitted here). I hope it isn't too complicated.

HI, try to use custom-button available in HACS, needs a little bit of coding but it is worth it! https://github.com/custom-cards/button-card and a good source also here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/fun-with-cutom-button-card/238450

Custom Button Card

I've got my current layout pretty close using button-card, but I am not sure how to / if I can pull in data from other sensors that aren't the main entity. Here is my code so far:

As for the "Turn on TV", "Turn off TV", "Play Xbox", "Play PS4" stuff, you can create buttons for them, rather than using switches, using something like Button Card or something. Personally, I think pulling out a phone, waiting for some app to load, scrolling around to whatever thing and pressing a button is just stupid and slow, so I have a few physical buttons around my house. The Hank 4 button/8 scene remote is good, I have a few of them. I've also got some much cheaper Sonoff RM433 8 button remotes that I integrate with rtl_433. Each of my Inovelli Red dimmers also has 11 possible "buttons" via 2/3/4/5x tap and the config button single tap. So I've got zero-fuss buttons to hit for things that aren't easily automated, like "play Xbox" or whatever. It's so much faster to just hit a real button than to fumble around with a phone app. Plus, our phones are usually not nearby anyway.

You can use custom-button-card to achieve this, and more.

It's simply just custom button cards with "spin: true" as one of the properties! The icon must be completely centered otherwise it will spin weird

I just did this with our ancient system. I replaced the keypads with Ring Alarm Keypads v2 which connected to my Home Assistant server via Zwave and stay in sync with the Alarmo custom integration using this Blueprint. It all works great and was much easier than expected to switch over.

If you have an existing Ring security system, you can either integrate all of it's sensors and alarm control with Home Assistant via Ring MQTT or get your own ZWave hub, connect all the sensors to that, and use Alarmo to create your own security system. I'm doing the former since I want to pay for the peace of mind that comes from a professionally monitored security system, but can switch to the latter if Amazon gets too greedy.

Never before heard of Alarmo.

As others have mentioned, you can replace the ADT mainboard with Konnected. From there, expose your now Konnected hardwired sensors to Home Assistant and setup an alarm system using the Alarmo integration. Expose that all to HomeKit.

I had a hardwired security system in the house I purchased and I replaced the main panel/board with Konnected Alarm Panel Pro. All of the existing hardwired sensors (doors, windows, motion and siren) are then integrated with Home Assistant. I use Alarmo, an alarm integration for Home Assistant, to create an alarm system which is then exposed to HomeKit, also via Home Assistant.

another option, depending on your use case, is to replace the alarm entirely with an open source solution. Alarmo for the software side, and Konnected.io for the replacement alarm board are the first things that come to mind.

As a side note, Home Assistant also runs my home security system as well. I used the Konnected Alarm Panel Pro to re-use existing hardwired sensors from an older security system that was already in place. I then used the Alarmo integration for Home Assistant which basically makes setting up an alarm system a breeze.
