Hi,
I am new on the forum and starting my first HA project by setting up an alarm system.
At this stage, I will use motion sensors Aqara Human Body Sensor and window/door sensors Mimoke Aqara and both integrated with Zigbee.
But I am still looking for an Alarm Panel (keypad and/or RFID) that can be integrated with my Alarm system. The panel will be used by my kids or family members not having access to HA.
Have you any advice or recommendation in this domain?
Thank you!

ESPHome and RFID tags?
Hi,
Thx for the swift reply and sharing that great article!
It seems that te ESP chip is powered by Mini-Usb. Is it a way to power it differently (Battery)? Just want to avoid having external cable on the wall.

Battery power is not easy as wifi is quite power hungry. It is possible but you have to put the device to sleep for most of the time. Waking up and connecting to wifi again can be rather slow (10 seconds).
If you want battery power try searching for zwave or zigbee alarm keypads.
Again sorry for the stupid question but I am new in HA. Is it feasible to integrate a wifi alarm keypad with Zigbee sensors?
Thx!
If you can get it into home assistant you can control anything with anything.
Thank you Tom!
