Help setting up home alarm system

Hi everyone, a question coming from a newbie. I’m looking into setting up a home alarm system and a Home Automation using Raspberry PI.
Presently I’m use Wink with zwave digital switches. When a door opens I get a text which I love and would like to use. Also would like to get a sound bit over some type of speaker to say what door has been open or closes. Example “Front door open” “Front door closed”. Can anyone give me or point to what I might want to program/use. Any help appreciated

I’m looking to do this too, also a newbie. Have you made any progress? Right now as a starting point I’m thinking about simply connecting a speaker to my Raspberry Pi and figuring out a way for Home Assistant to play an audio clip when the “Front door is open.” But I’m not sure what the most efficient way to go about that would be. Someone in another thread said the command line component could be used. Can anybody give an example automation for how that would work?

Here’s my topic where I’m currently trying to figure it out.
