I've made one more change since posting this, which won't be a breaking change and is an optional update for most users. User @scyto requested the ability to configure the Home Assistant discovery topic and that feature will be in the 1.03 release of the HASPone firmware. The alarm panel blueprint also makes use of HA discovery to keep track of the code being entered, so a new field has been added to the blueprint to allow one to change the discovery topic. 99% of users will never need to change this, so feel free to ignore if you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about here :D |

Discord user AverageScam made a reasonable request to change the way the existing Alarm Panel blueprint works. Previously, there was only one "arm" button available. The user could define which service was called, but if you regularly used both "arm home" and "arm away", there wasn't a clear path to making the blueprint work at all.
The new blueprint works much like the old version, but this time you have two pull-down select menus which allow you to define two different "arm" actions which will appear on the bottom-left and bottom-right buttons. Once armed, the bottom-left button will show the current "arm" state while the bottom-right allows the user to disarm the system after code entry.
Breaking Change
Technically this is a breaking change, in that if you update the blueprint your existing alarm panel automation will no longer work. This is due to the input field types being changed to a pull-down instead of requiring the user to enter the correct service call. The tradeoff is that you'll need to re-deploy any existing alarm panel automations, but in return, you get an easier-to-use blueprint with no chance to mis-type one of the required settings.
