Is there any zwave / zigbee device which can be used to connect hardwired contact , motion sensors ? My house is already fitted with hardwired sensors on each door and window and multiple motion sensors. These are connected to security system. If some how ST can communicate to these sensors it would…

I believe someone (@wackware perhaps) have done something like that. Search in “Old Forums”.

Same here I have 30 Windows 8 Entrances 3 Garage about 10 smoke detectors Would like these hardwire sensors to talk to ST 40 zwave sensors aint cheap

I finally connect all my hardwired sensors using – [image] [NEEDS UPDATING] DSC/Vista Alarm Smartapp and devices based on AlarmServer Community Created SmartApps Starting a new thread for the DSC alarm stuff in particular anything related to the current DSC Sm…

Any updates on this? I would have expected that people would want a ST to replace/augment/enhance an aging alarm system. I have an 20+ year old wired home alarm system that’s beginning to fail. All the sensors are still working well and easily replaceable and I like the thought of not replacing batt…

[image] canuckcam: My technical skill is soldering electronics not programming I’m the opposite :slight_smile: I’ve done hardware projects it the past, but I’m more comfortable writing sw than spinning my own PCBs. Basically you have two options: Replace your old alarm panel with a new o…

I just did this with a smart shield and wiring directly to the alarm panel. (3 doors and 1 motion sensor to start). I went this way over the pi since the updates are pushed form the Arduino shield in real time instead of polled (which wouldn’t make much sense for a motion sensor). If we get UDP su…

Oooh this is getting good… it really sounds like a shield and Arduino is the way to go. Works for me since I have an extra Uno lying around! How were you able to provide power from the Arduino to the switches - more specifically the motion detector?

This may be a bit of a workaround but there is a Schlage door/window z-wave sensor that has the (undocumented) option to connect to an external relay (or sensor): [image] Z-Wave Door and Window Sensor with Nexia, RS 100, Both White and Brown Cases Included - Household Alarms And Detectors…

Hey @pizzinini , can you share how you hooked up your hard wired smoke detectors? I’ve been wanting to integrate smoke detectors, but I can’t find any z-wave models that are hardwired. Your setup might do the trick and save me from replacing 6 detectors.Thanks! -Brian

I think a raspberry pi with GPIO board is the cheapest way to go. This thread is of great interest to me Raspberry Pi Device Type
