Hi.
I have a number of Zigbee sensors and I want to connect them as a home alarm. I am unsure if there is an interface already made, like I saw the alarm key pad module but it is not clear how I’d put it all together. I could write this in python but HA i/f looks pretty alien. Like it is not clear how to have persistent state for things like alarm state which I can toggle on and off to stop the alarm or route zigbee sensors too for triggering. I have a texecom alarm bellbox which is on my LAN with a fixed IP, i can use python to post to it JSON which will put it in hold off mode, turn strobe and/or sounder on. Are there any designs or tutorials you could recommend?
When I got a Zigbee sensor setup in HA in my first attempt it was things like switch open or closed but that isn’t an alarm system, it just a sensor.
