I am planning my C4 retirement and I have only two sensors that need replacing (everything else is a light switch).
Generally, has anyone had luck using the DSC system as inputs to HA? I have already successfully connected through Envisalink. Are they fast enough, updating, etc? Alternately, I could go with wifi or z-wave, but prefer not to add (nothing against z-wave)
The first is the Bravo5 ceiling mounted motion detector. I can run a wire to an open termination on my DSC board.
Does anyone have any experience with this device? How fast does it operate? In my automation, it turns on lights in my bathroom.
The second is a tri-zone wireless sensor.
I cannot run wires to this, but my DSC system has RF. I would use it to connect in two garage door magnetic switches.
Has anyone used this for this purpose? Can it show the doors as separate entities?
In my automations, it turns on lights when returning home at night, and sends notifications when the garage doors are open too long or at night.
