Switch to bypass zones

[IAmVespa]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Sometimes is handy to bypass certain zones in order to fully arm the system (eg, slightly open window in summer).

Describe the solution you'd like
Create a switch for each zone in order to toggle the zone bypass function.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Used to be very simple with old BTicino MyHomeUp app, just a couple of touch away. With the new Home + Control is way too complex (hidden many touches away).

Device
BTicino 4200 ( Kesnia Lares 16IP)

Additional context
Info on current status (bypass - BYPASS or UN_BYPASS) easily read from the /zonesStatus16IP.xml
Command which need to be used to toggle the switch: http://192.168.XXX.YYY/xml/cmd/cmdOk.xml?cmd=setByPassZone&pin=XXXXXX&zoneId=2&zoneValue=0
Where:

• pin: user code (maybe needs to be hardcoded from configuration ??)
• zoneId: zone number as ordered in /zonesDescription16IP.xml starting from 1
• zoneValue:
     - 1: bypass ON
     - 0: bypass OFF

Let me know if more info are needed

I am a bit hesitant to store a PIN, maybe I should expose this a service instead.

In alarm control panel logic there is something available called AlarmControlPanelEntityFeature.ARM_CUSTOM_BYPASS, but not sure yet how the bypass works here

[IAmVespa]

I understand your point, storing the PIN is far from ideal.
I am not familiar with the concept of services, but, if it gives the ability to bypass/unbypass a zone, than only a simple binary sensor is needed to know the current zone status.

I took a look at the ARM_CUSTOM_BYPASS option in the Alarm Panel, but, from my understanding, is currently only a further alarm activation option. Do you see any other option with the ARM_CUSTOM_BYPASS?

[johnnybegood]

It could be combined with the switch, but only at arm custom bypass the bypass is done. Then I have the PIN from user entry

[IAmVespa]

Yeah, that could work.
Then, would you bring it back to unbypass condition each time the alarm is disarmed?

[johnnybegood]

@IAmVespa I went with the PIN storage approach, other integration also seem to use this

Thanks a lot, just installed!
So far, works like a charm.
