Is there a way to arm and disarm the alarm through the cloud when I away from my house? If so, how do I make a tile for it.
You'll create a pair of Virtual Switches and select auto off in 5 sec.
You'll create two Trigger rules (Trigger, not Rule and not Triggered Rule), each Trigger will be one of the two Virtual Switches you made. The True Action will be arm (or disarm).
You can then add those two Virtual Switches to your Dashboard.

Or just add the HSM tile template.

This is the route I go. I've integrated my DSC with HSM. I simply use the dashboard tile. Of course, I don't do it from the cloud, choosing instead to use VPN and local dashboards only. Sorry, I just can't stand the idea of my perimeter security being in the cloud.

Is it possible to use just one virtual switch, virtual switch on, Alarm Armed, virtual switch off, Alarm Disarmed?
The limit is Trigger. Triggers only have an Action.
Rules have Action on True, Action on False.
Triggered Rules are a Trigger in which the Action is to evaluate the included Rule.
Using a Rule then would look like this:
OOPS.. This is a Momentary Contact type switch with auto off set to be 2 seconds. For use in a Rule, you want On and Off. Create it the same, just leave that Auto Off option as disabled:
The Rule would be something like this:
