Android Things 0.6.1-devpreview for Raspbery Pi 3 from the site or using the Android Things Setup Utility.
Android Studio with Android SDK N or above.
Setup Home Assistant
Configure the MQTT service note the broker address, port and username/password if applicable.
Add the [MQTT Alarm Control Panel] (https://home-assistant.io/components/alarm_control_panel.manual_mqtt/) to your configuraiton with the default settings for now.
Add any sensors (like Zwave door sensors or sirens) and configure automations to trigger the alarm.
Make sure you properly setup the RPi3 with the 7" Touchscreen Display. You won't need any special software setup if you use the The Raspberry Pi Foundation 7" Touchscreen as it's compatible with Android Things. Other compatible touch screens may require additional configuration for Android Things. There are two options for installing the setting up your RPi 3 and installing the application.
(1) The second option is to download the latest build from the release section on Github which includes both the Android Things Preview 0.6.1 and the APK file for the MQTT control panel application. This also allows for future OTA updates.
Download the latest release zip: MQTT_Alarm_Control_Panel_1.x.x.zip.
Unzip the file to get the the image: iot_rpi3.img.
Burn the image to your SD card using a tool like Etcher.
Insert the SD card into RPi3 and boot.
(2) The first (and more complicated) is to set up your RPi3 to use Android Things 0.6.1-devpreview for Raspbery Pi 3. Clone the repository and compile the APK using Android Studio, then side load the APK file onto your device running Android Things Preview 0.6.1 using the ADB tool.
Be sure to set up network access either using WiFi or ethernet. If you setup WiFi be sure to unplug the ethernet cable, at this time Android Things can't use WiFi and ethernet at the same time. Once you have the application running, go to Settings -> Device Settings and enter your WiFi SSID (name) and password, it should connect automatically. Optionally, you can use the Android Things Setup Utility or use the adb command line tool.
You probably also want to set the time and timezone of the device. You can do this within the application by going to Settings -> Device Settings and set the time zone. This can also be done from within the application settings or manually using the adb command line tool:
Under the settings (gear icon) enter the MQTT information that you configured in Home Assistant for your MQTT service.
Be sure you adjust the time intervals to match those set (other than defaults) in the Home Assistant MQTT alarm control panel.
If you choose to get weather updates, enter your DarkSky API key and your latitude and longitude location. You can get your lat/lon by using maps.google.com and copy them from the url (they look like -34.6156624,-58.5035102).
To use a screen saver other than the digital clock, turn this feature on in the screen saver settings. Optionally you can load other Instagram images by changing the Instagram profile name.
When you first start the application you will be asked to go to the setting screen to setup the device. You also need to enter the MQTT information that you configured in Home Assistant for your MQTT service. Be sure you adjust the time intervals to match those set in the Home Assistant MQTT alarm control panel. Alsop reset your alarm pin code, the default is 1234. The application should then connect to your MQTT broker. Whenever the state of the alarm control panel in in Home Assistant chances, the alarm control panel will reflect those changes. You need to enter you pin code whenever you want to disarm the alarm or if the alarm has been triggered. To set the alarm just select the main icon on the alarm screen and then select Arm Home or Arm Away options. A small countdown will appear to indicate the time remaining before the alarm is activated. If you choose to get weather updates, enter your DarkSky API key and current latitude and longitude in the weather setting screen. You can get your lat/lon by using maps.google.com and copy them from the url (they look like -34.6156624,-58.5035102). You can also load your home automation platfgorm website by entering the address with port into the settings. It slides from the right on the main screen. To use a screen saver other than the black, turn this feature on in the screen saver settings.
