This is part two of the Home Assistant Security System guide. In this part, I show how I configured a dashboard display to complete my HA security system, to give visual feedback and, optionally, be used to manually arm the system. This alerts us if any door or window is opened while the family is not home and we can quickly glance at the display to see if anything is open before heading out the door. This guide assumes you followed part one.

This is part one of a high-level guide that will get you started out with Home Assistant as a basic security system. In part two, I show how to add a dashboard display to your system.
