Hello everyone!
I’d like to get the community’s opinion on the most suitable / well-designed security alarm system for integration with Home Assistant.
- Ajax
https://ajax.systems/
There is an integration available, but control is limited and requires using relays and an RC remote.
GitHub - AlexeiakaTechnik/AJAX_security-integration-in-Home_Assistant: Article about my project on how to integrate AJAX Security Alarm system into Home Assistant. How to get state, control AJAX from HA(Arm, Disarm, Night Mode, etc.). How to use unortodox method of control(AJAX Space Control "hack").
Alternatively, Ajax UART viauartBridge.
GitHub - FScoua/ha-ajax-uart: This extension allows easy configuration of the uartBridge and quickly adds supported Ajax devices with a couple of clicks. - Hikvision AX PRO
AX PRO - Wireless Intrusion Alarm - Hikvision Global
The integration looks quite mature:
GitHub - petrleocompel/hikaxpro_hacs: HACS repository of Hikvision Ax Pro integration for home assistant - Dahua AirShield Wireless Security System
AirShield - Dahua International
Looks very interesting; the sensors are visually similar to Ajax. However, I couldn’t find an existing Home Assistant integration — maybe I missed something?
Any real-world experience, recommendations, or alternative options are very welcome.
