Some relevant devices I already had before this project are: I originally was hoping to use it as a door/window chime for when the alarm was not set, but it doesn’t quite work for that and I went with a different solution instead. It’s configurable enough too in terms of loudness and the tones it uses. It’s quite loud and has a battery backup so you can’t just unplug it from the wall to get it to stop. Aeotec Siren - This thing works great.Looking back it may have been better to bite the bullet and just buy a few extra window sensors instead of this. Honestly I’m not sure how well this works, and in general I had a hard time finding a Z-Wave glass break detector. GoControl Glass Break Detector - The living room and kitchen are connected and have quite a few windows, so my old system had a glass break sensor which I used this to replace.Any basic window/door sensor would do here though. Aeotec Door/Window Sensors - At the time I bought the Gen5 ones which no longer seem available, and the Gen6 ones looks pretty bulky and expensive.My original security system was pretty basic, so I just ended up mimicking it. Also, for me at least it more than made up for the cost in just a few months after cancelling my monthly bill with ADT.
However, this can be mitigated by prioritizing the important sensors first and adding on over time. DevicesĪdmittedly, there was a bit of an up front cost in buying all the devices to replace my existing ones, especially since I decided to go with Z-Wave devices for my home, which are a little more expensive than Zigbee ones. As a bonus, it’s saving me $50/month (although to be fair they offered a substantial discount to entice me to stay upon cancelling). Instead of duplicating the sensors, I decided to ditch ADT and just completely do it myself.
#Connect alarm to labmanager windows
Doors and windows being opened seemed like something I would want to be available to me in Home Assistant, but the ADT system I had was completely closed despite being wireless. I’ve been dabbling with home automation for a while, and one thing that bugged me was that my home security system didn’t integrate with it at all.
