Request new "keypad" icon or an alternative icon for "alarm-panel" (i.e. Keypad on for Alarm Control Panel)

[Hedda]

Before submitting a new icon request, please confirm the following:

• I have searched all issues to make sure there isn't a request for this icon.
• I have searched the current library to make sure the icon doesn't already exist.
• I understand that brand icons are no longer being added and I can use SimpleIcons for my brand icon needs.
• I only intend to request a single icon (or a few near-identical ones) in this issue.

What would you use this icon for?

Please consider making a new "keypad" icon or an alternative icon for "alarm-panel" (i.e. a stand-alone remote Keypad used as a Alarm Control Panel).

• https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/icon/alarm-panel/

• https://pictogrammers.com/library/mdi/icon/alarm-panel-outline/

Reason is I think the existing "alarm-panel" icon looks more like a calculator and is too/very similar to the current "calculator" icon.

I do also not think that it should be confused with the existing icons for "dialpad", "phone-dial", or "phone-dial-outline".

My own main use case is Home Assistant using alarm control panel components as a custom DIY security alarm system:

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alarm_control_panel/
• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/manual/
• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/alarm_control_panel.template/

I also plan on testing the popular Alarmo custom component with its custom alarmo-card which is another relevant use case:

Note! For reference, for myself I mean this "alarm-panel" icon represent a Remote Control Unit (stand-alone Alarm Panel Keypad), which I understand is tecnically called an ACE (Ancillary Control Equipment ) Device in IAS (Intruder Alarm System) security alarm system professional terminology. So not depict a whole CIE (Central Control Unit) which is usually the main alarm appliance which can but does not have to also feature a built-in keypad as an Alarm Control Panel.

The Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) device provides the functionality for the central control node of an IAS. As such, this device communicates with all the other IAS devices (ACE, Zone and WD). Which include a Remote Control Unit (stand-alone Alarm Panel Keypad). Alarm Control Panels can otherwise also be refered to as Premises Control Unit (PCU), Alarm Control Panel (ACP), Security Panel, or Alarm Keypad.

PS: Slightly off-topic but while on the topic of alarm I just want to add the Zigbee specification got explanations of the various different components in an their specifications for IAS (intruder alarm system) components:

• Intruder Alarm System (IAS) Devices
  • IAS Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE) = Device ID 0x0400 (e.i. Central Control Unit, i.e. Zigbee Coordinator and ZHA)
  • IAS Ancillary Control Equipment (ACE) = 0x0401 (i.e. Remote Control Units like Keypad/Panel)
  • IAS Warning Device (WD) = 0x0403 (Warning Devices, e.i. Indoor/Outdoor Sirens, Strobes, Sprinklers?, etc. )
  • IAS Zone = 0x0402 (Zones, i.e. Areas which contain Zone Devices like Panic Button, Smoke Detectors, Heat/Fire Detectors, Combustible Gas Leakage Sensors, Motion Sensors, Door/Window Sensors, Vibration Alarms, Sprinklers, etc. ).

Above is from NXP Laboratories documentation and according to it, Zigbee IAS Devices are not exclusively concerned with intruders but also cover other emergencies, such as fire, as depicted in the above example system.

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/JN-UG-3076.pdf

That is, Zigbee alarm panel keypads for arming and disarming actions and using security sensors in automations for zones:

arm away (arm all zones)
arm day zones / arm home zones / arm partial zones # shell protection only
arm night / arm sleep # shell protection + yard
arm away zones / arm all zones
disarm
panic
emergency
panel status
not ready to arm
already armed

Give us an example of what this icon might look like.

I have previously been a Verisure alarm system user and their web interface have a very nice looking alarm-panel icon that is clearly depicting a hand with a pointing finger that is pressing a button on the alarm-panel, so hope that can inspire you too.

Here is some screenshots zoomed in at various sized:

Here are examples of common real-world IAS ACE (Ancillary Control Equipment ), a.k.a. classic alarm control panels" / "keypads":
