An unreliable Alarm.com Home Assistant integration debugged by Claude Code
Claude Code was pointed at an unmaintained Alarm.com integration and its library, fixed retry and connection bugs, then found the last one from the server logs.

The full story
The owner's Alarm.com integration for Home Assistant kept falling out of sync with the real alarm state, and its two underlying projects were no longer maintained. After the alarm went off by mistake and police came to the house, they downloaded both projects and told Claude Code to "find and fix all the bugs".
Claude found faulty retry logic and dropped connections, among other problems, and after several passes the patched version was much more stable but not perfect. The next time it went out of sync, Claude Code was given temporary SSH access to the Home Assistant server to check the logs; it found the final bug, and the owner says the integration has been solid since.
