Cheap smart doorbell
I use a Sonoff Bridge flashed with Tasmota and a cheap wireless doorbell like this: https://www.game.co.za/game-za/en/A...MI6OOZtNiY6wIVSed3Ch3r3gMBEAQYCCABEgKERvD_BwE
Works well. It sends text2speech to my Google Homes basically saying "doorbell" and takes a picture from one of my cameras and sends it to my phone.
This is all good and well. But how to get HA to know of Energiser or alarm state. At one stage I was thinking of Konnected.io but I never went any further.

A sonoff sv and a opto isolator connected to the siren output tells me when it is in alarm. I 'know' the fences state of on and off based on the relay state since it is latching.
Have you done this, or is it in theory?

What HA Podcast?
My fence is a zone on the house alarm, alarm is on HA... So I know when it's triggered. (And confirmed with testing).
The latching mode is also confirmed for whether it's on or off... Although still need to do it on my fence

Have you guys used this? Would you suggest it? Is there a better option? This is mostly just for reading and due to the way that our bedside tables are, I can't reach the lamp switch

Is the ifan 03 designed to fit in all Fan housings?
It seems quite big to fit into my ceiling fan. If it cannot fit, where else can it be installed?
