Well just after Christmas I order stuff for a whole range of projects. This one arrived today -
What is it? Well it replaces this old thing -
with this (blade for scale) -
The manufacturer is called Konnected and they have replacement boards like this or interface ones to act in parallel with the existing system. Mine is WiFi but you can also get PoE.
My system was an old Ness D8x from when we had the house built in 2009. Frankly, we never turned it on, who wants cranky neighbours with a siren blaring.
Now I get alerts on my phone when the motion detectors are tripped. I can manually activate the siren or have it automated. At least now I will know if there are issues!
I think it is pretty cool!
EDIT: Decided to make a thread on Home Automation as a result.
