Alarm Status Device Type

Could anyone advise which device they have set up to show when the alarm is activated/deativated. I have set up as a 'switch' but it does not turn on/off when the alarm is activated/deactivated. I have set up the output on the alarm so register alarm activated/deactivated. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew, I was having the same question. I used "door" since it is indeed only an output, but having a dedicated type would indeed make more sense. Kind regards

You should be able to simply use a Simulated Switch, then set up two automations, one to turn it on when activated and one to turn it off when de-activated.
Then you can use that Simulated Switch in Sharptools or ActionTiles etc
Similarly I created a Single Simulated Switch which reflects ALL of the door/window sensors - ALL Closed for OFF and ANY Open for ON - so I can have one tile in Sharptools that instantly shows if any sensors are open
