Using mysensors for alarm build?

[sundberg84]

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.

@sundberg84 What did hoh use to set up your siren? I'm working on my own home security project as well.

@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

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

[sundberg84]

@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

thanks both of you

@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.
