Commercial Home Alarm System that I can use sensors from?

Jablotron-100 series is a professional alarm systems brand, which allows connection to Homey via a true/false 8-output bus module (Jablotron JA118N) and a Fibaro Z-wave Universal Binary Sensor.

Via the Jablotron F-link software, you can determine which parameter is being output (this can be the state of a magnet contact, a PIR, but also the “alarm set/unset” state or the “alarm triggered” state). You can attach a Fibaro FGBS-001 universal sensor to the bus outputs, which will translate the true/false setting of a parameter to a z-wave detectable parameter. An FGBS-001 can be used for 2 outputs.
The way to connect these modules is described here

This way, various flows can be triggered using your alarm system’s sensors:

  • door open (magnet contact), lights on
  • alarm set (so I’m absent), all wall plugs switch off and lights switch off
  • alarm triggered: all lights in the house start blinking alternating red-white
  • Heimdall can be used to write specific events to the Homey timeline

With this setup there is one-way information traffic from your alarm system to Homey, it is not possible to control your alarm system with Homey (which is the most secure option). Jablotron features tampering security, battery backup and a GSM and/or LAN communications module.
