@mfalkvidd Thanks for the quick reply! I love everything I've seen on your website! Really well done.
RS485 seems promising. I would need to find some kind of gateway that can deal with lots of endpoints/sensors... Still searching through your website - a treasure trove of information for sure

Lutron motion sensor switch hacking
Greetings,
Cool (crazy idea): I have a bunch of Lutron switches with motion and daylight sensors in them (like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Lutron-Maestro-required-Single-Pole-MS-OPS2-WH/dp/B005WM3ALC. I like them but I would like to make them smarter by interfacing them with OpenHAB and adding scene capability in them (for example, they can function as security sensors too if they detect motion when you're "away"). So I would like to send the motion and daylight sensors info to OpenHAB (or any HA software, doesn't matter). Did anybody did such hardware hacking already?
TIA,
Florin

Using wired sensors
Hello,
I just got out from under my rock and discovered your site Pretty cool and lots of interesting things to learn. I have a newbie question (apologies in advance if this has been asked before): I have a lot of wired sensors in my house that I inherited with the house. I don't use the original security system but I would like to use the wiring to detect open doors/windows, motion, etc. I like the wired approach much better because 1) I don't have to worry about changing batteries (ever!) and 2) less radiation to bathe in
My question: do you have support for the wired sensors? I was thinking it would be awesome if we can power them and send the sensor information over the same wires.
Thanks in advance!
Florin
