It abstracts away the panel-specific key sequences required to arm Honeywell and DSC security systems in home, away, and night modes. Rather than requiring users to know the exact key press combinations for each panel brand and configuration, adext provides a consistent interface: you call arm_home(), arm_away(), or arm_night() with parameters like a code, auto-bypass preference, and mode options, and the library generates the correct sequence for your panel type.\n\nThe package depends solely on alarmdecoder and is distributed as a pure Python wheel with low install friction. It's classified as production/stable but aging\u2014the last commit was in May 2025 with no subsequent releases. The repository remains active and unarchived, suggesting maintenance is possible but infrequent. There are no known security vulnerabilities.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you run Home Assistant with a Honeywell or DSC alarm panel and want a straightforward way to automate arming. The package is stable, has no security issues, and carries permissive licensing. The main caveat is that it's aging\u2014last activity was May 2025\u2014so verify compatibility with your current Home Assistant and alarmdecoder versions before relying on it for critical automation."},"id":"adext","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adext","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/adext.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/adext/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-10","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"adext","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"AlarmDecoder extended"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73734,"position":14936,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.4.7"}
