Received invalid alarm panel state

[virus100b]

Recently i have noticed the bellow error in the logs. I did not change anything to the code except esphome update.
What i can do to fix it?
Thanks!

[Dilbert66]

Add this filter to your partition state in your esphome yaml. This will send "disarmed" instead of "not_ready" to home assistant.

- platform: dsc_alarm_panel
    id: ps_1  
    name: "Partition 1 Status (ps_1)"
    icon: "mdi:shield"
    filters:
      - lambda: |-
          if (x == "not_ready") x="disarmed";
          return x;

Did that. All good now. Thank you!

Hello!
I was using an old version of ESPhome, i have updated to the last version and updated my 8266 board and now is broken :( .
I have reded after the update that 8266 is no longer supported.
I will apreciate if you can help me with some guidance in order to use my old 8266 with an old version of ESPhome before 2025.7?

[Dilbert66]

The esp8266 is supported but you need to convert your yaml config to the new format.
(https://github.com/Dilbert66/esphome-dsckeybus/blob/master/DscAlarm.yaml)

[virus100b]

I have the new format. Here is my code
Flashing is working fine, i see the board online but all sensors are "unknown"

Please find below the log after flash. I also did a clean build.

[Dilbert66]

You will need to remove the device from home assistant /esphome add-on and re-add it since the entity names are different now due to the esphome changes. The log looks fine.

Edit: I had a look at your code and it's still showing the wrong format for the zones. The platform needs to be "dsc-alarm-panel" and not "template"

old format:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: template
    id: z1

New format:

binary_sensor:
  - platform: dsc_alarm_panel
    id: z1

[virus100b]

I have missed that platform change. I have made the modification and now everything is working as before.
Thank you very much for your help and quick replies.

I wish you all the best! Happy Holidays!
