    Hi!

    I have set up my home-security system where MySensors is included.
    I run two raspberry Pi - one with Domoticz + MySensors GW and one as FTP server.

    • In domoticz i use the security panel which is controlled with our cell-phones (location services)
    • I have motion detectors from MySensors reporting movement.
    • If my house is armed Domoticz and motion is detected i get a notification, siren on and so forth...
    • Siren and lights are MySensored.
    • I also run three IP cams reportion motion and adding pics/video to my ftp.
    • I hope these can be used to detect motion in Domoticz in the future.

    Its a fun project - but not so safe as a pro system.
    For example i dont have battery backup if power fails.

      @lvidal07 At the moment (5 months later) im using RFLink and 433mhz firealarms.
      They go both ways - fire => update on Domoticz and push notise. IntruderAlarm => starts firealarm.

      But at that point I worked on something like this from petewill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNsar_e8IsI&index=9&list=PLGzVpwPAKnPZ6F4fY8AevfVmcHdJFpKma

      Controller: Proxmox VM - Home Assistant
      MySensors GW: Arduino Uno - W5100 Ethernet, Gw Shield Nrf24l01+ 2,4Ghz
      MySensors GW: Arduino Uno - Gw Shield RFM69, 433mhz
      RFLink GW - Arduino Mega + RFLink Shield, 433mhz

        @sundberg84 Thanks for the info. Any reason for the switch?

          @lvidal07 I extended my HA to both MySensors and RFLink/433mhz. There is a manufacturer of firealarms which are good and cheap using 433mhz,

                Hi, i also did build a rflink to MySensors gateway on which all interesting 433Mhz message are translated to MySensors message.

                e.g. my RFLINK<->MYS presents my weather station (LaCross WS2300) data, klik-aan-klik-uit RC and my Flamingo firealarms

                    @BartE Haha, that flamingo alarm looks exactly like my Nexa alarm... :)

                      Thanks as well. I decided to go with this alarm, http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/252094388277?dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F252094388277, probably more than I needed to pay, but I liked the idea of a strobe alarm.
