2025 Alarm system recommendation?

Third party integrations
1

Hey folks,

I’m looking for an alarm system that:

  • integrates easily into HA for status monitoring
  • is able to be controlled by HA (physical keypad is a bonus)
  • has a physical alarm ringer (the box that goes beep when bad guys come in)

Any recommendations?

Talking about the European region. Also, ring and similar online systems are out of the question for sure, this thing needs to be fully local.

I use the HACs custom component Alarmo, motion sensors, door and window sensors, a zwave siren and automations. Good blueprint to send notification and clip to phone is one of the automations . Can use it from my phone or desktop but also by my tablet beside the front door. I’m not sure I would want a physical device if I was having a tablet by the door anyway.

A Lupus XT1 Plus for smaller installations or a XT2 for larger ones gets you a real DIY cloudless alarm system.

Point 1: :white_check_mark:
There is the Lupusec2Mqtt add-on that includes this systems to HA: GitHub - CyberDNS/Lupusec2Mqtt: Lupusec Alarm System to Mqtt

Point 2:
“be controlled by HA” is from the security-view a bad thing. I wouldn’t do such a thing.

Point 3: :white_check_mark:
Included with the option to get additional external and internal sirens.
