README

NOTE: This is a test version which incorporates functional and TypeScript improvements to node-alarm-dot-com.

Node.js Alarm.com Interface

Unofficial interface module written in Node.js to access and operate Alarm.com security systems.

This interface works best with the fork: https://github.com/node-alarm-dot-com/homebridge-node-alarm-dot-com, based off of John Hurliman's FrontPoint* plugin for Homebridge. This variation adds changes the default login authentication for to Alarm.com. with a switch to use the FrontPoint login authentication process if desired.

*FrontPoint is simply a rebranded service provider for Alarm.com.

Originally intended for use with the fork: https://github.com/node-alarm-dot-com/homebridge-node-alarm-dot-com, originally created by Bryan Bartow for his Alarm.com plugin for Homebridge.

Supported Features

  • Querying panels
    • Arming
    • Disarming

  • Locks
    • Lock/Unlock switch

Usage

Install:

npm i node-alarm-dot-com

Querying:

const nodeADC = require('node-alarm-dot-com')

nodeADC
  .login('your_username', 'your_password')
  .then(authOpts => nodeADC.getCurrentState(authOpts.systems[0], authOpts))
  .then(res => {
    console.log('Security Systems:', res.partitions)
    console.log('Sensors:', res.sensors)
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

Arming:

const nodeADC = require('node-alarm-dot-com')

nodeADC
  .login('your_username', 'your_password')
  .then(authOpts => {
    return nodeADC
      .getCurrentState(authOpts.systems[0], authOpts)
      .then(res => {
        // This will take 20-30 seconds
        nodeADC.armStay(res.partitions[0].id, authOpts).then(res => {
          console.log(res)
        })
      })
  })
  .catch(err => console.error(err))

Notes

In efforts to maintain this project as a native Alarm.com implementation, authentication and reference to FrontPoint have been removed altogether within the code as of versions 1.6.0. This allows for the codebase to be cleaner without having to solve everyone else's extraneous Alarm.com Verified-Partner setups, encouraging separate forks and augmentation for those unique scenarios.
