Hello everyone!
First of let me say i have absolutely 0 experience using home assistant. I read about it when an idea struck me as i was laying in bed the other night.
I work at an estate with many buildnings, and in the buildnings on this estate we use Ajax alarm for fire prevention and against burgulars. It’s 19 buildnings in total.
As caretaker of buildnings alot of work goes to see that everything is workings smoothly in these buildnings, and in winter to see that the heating systems is working.
The devices from ajax all measure temperature, and for me to control that i have to scroll through all HUBs and the different devices within the HUB. And you know how it is - one is lazy so i dont do this enough.
So my bright idea, laying there in bed, was that there has to be some kind of system that can gather the data from Ajax into one screen. And in this miracelous system i would also be able to set different variables for an email to get sent. For example when temperature drops to 14C on a certain device.
I started scrolling frentically on my phone, with my spouse and kids sleeping deeply beside me, thinking of my portrait that would be hanged as employee of the year with this amazing innovation. Maybe even higher pay, who knows?
So anyway im reading and reading and i realise that there is a whole new frickin universe that is named “home automation” of which i know almost nothing except perhaps a few plejd units we installed at different locations.
The little i gathered so far is that Ajax can send a SIA protocol to home assistant. I also tried to do this with little success on an alarm in a new buildning i just put up.
I know its alot to ask for but if anyone of you experienced people could just point me in the right direction or just tell my its not possible i would be very gratefull!
Thank you all for reading!
