DIY Alarm System in Home Assistant
I will be including the Videos that are a part of the DIY Security Alarm Playlist above. I will try to paste the code (YAML, JSON, etc.) below for you to copy. I may need to find a better way to share these so let me know if you are having issues.
Ultimately, the video series is too long for me to cover in text format. I am happy to answer questions on Discord but the first 2 videos were nearly 1 hour of raw recordings.
The quick summary, is using the Home Assistant Manual Alarm Panel as the front-end of our alarm. This Panel controls your passcode (if set), the flow of armed-home, armed-away, pending, triggered, and disarmed. Based on these states, we will use Node-Red to build out our logic, automations, and actual functionality.
Soon to come: Noonlight integrations, Konnected.io, and Ring2MQTT
