Alarm_control_panel "Does not have unique ID"

Hi.

I am new to Home Assistant and would like to use it as a simple alarm.
Have add one door sensor and this to configuration.yaml:
alarm_control_panel:

• platform: manual
  name: Home Alarm
  arming_time: 10
  delay_time: 5
  trigger_time: 4
  disarmed:
  trigger_time: 0
  armed_home:
  arming_time: 0
  delay_time: 0
  automation:
• alias: ‘Trigger alarm while armed away’
  trigger:
  • platform: state
    entity_id: binary_sensor.samjin_multi_83671101_ias_zone
    to: “open”
    condition:
  • condition: state
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm
    state: armed_away
    action:
    service: alarm_control_panel.alarm_trigger
    target:
    entity_id: alarm_control_panel.home_alarm

My challenge is that under Entites / Home Alarm there is a message that This entity ( alarm_control_panel.home_alarm) does not have a unique ID and then I can not get it to notify when the door sensor is opened, nor in the log.
How can I give it a unique ID or get around it?

Hope that someone can help.
Thanks
Rene
