Reuse old security system
(thelemmy.club)
This might not be the place for this but I feel like someone here should know.
I moved into a new house recently and there's a whole security system, infrared scanners, alarms on all the doors and windows, glass break detectors everywhere. When we open a door or window there's a little chirp so something is working, but I'm curious if anyone knows if I can rewire this somehow or get a new panel so that I can actually set an alarm and stuff.
The sensors should still be usable, there should be a main control board they're all wired to, you'd have to replace that and the keypads.
There's also Konnected, if you have Home Assistant.
That's very cool! I have home assistant set up on a pi but I've never really had enough smart things to find it useful, I just think the idea is neat
Very nice. Thank you for sharing about konnected.
Just a bit pricey for my budget
