Link To GitHub Repo
https://github.com/omarshahine/homebridge-alarm-dot-com
Plugin Icon (Optional)
homebridge-node-alarm-dot-com also targets Alarm.com and currently covers more device classes. This plugin is a clean-room implementation whose differentiators are first-class two-factor authentication (in-UI OTP enrollment via a custom Config UI X page or bundled CLI, with a persisted trusted-device token — the existing plugin requires manually copying a browser cookie from DevTools), a single long-lived session (no timed re-logins, which have historically triggered Alarm.com rate limiting), and WebSocket real-time updates. Additional device classes are on the roadmap.
The plugin does not offer the same nor less functionality than that of any existing verified plugin.
🟢 Yes

🟢 Yes

🟢 Yes
If the plugin needs to write files to disk (cache, keys, etc.), it stores them inside the Homebridge storage directory.

🟢 Yes
