Home Automation - Smartkit

This is interesting.

I see people still use BI for NVR but then add Frigate for the automations and object detection.

It looks like the Coral works really efficiently with Frigate. Not sure how easy it is to get a Coral in SA though.
 
I want to build a single panel that shows the information below (I have two old iPads that no no longer run RecallCue (Dementia Clock App) due to the iOS version not being upgradeable any longer [my father in law has dementia]

Any help would be hugely appreciated

Do you want to display this on one of the ipads?
 
I know it has been mentioned before, but best way to use the centurion D5 status output as an alarm contact? i.e I suspect you need to invert the status somehow with a relay for example or is there a way as is? (should be closed when gate is closed, and open when gate is open, without sending any external power through the line)

Where does the alarm fit into it?

Isn’t it just a N/C or N/O type contact?

I.e I want it to trigger the alarm when set through an existing zone.

Aaah right now I’m with you.

I would then wonder how on earth you’d connect the two things to each other as surely they are pretty damn far apart.

If it’s just a wire then surely the alarm would only need it to be N/C or N/O and detect a change in that status like any other wires sensor.

yeah 100% thats the goal, wire from alarm panel zone to gate, currently there is a wide gap reed switch, but I would like to do away with the reed switch if possible

Technically you can use a wireless Reed switch but just rewire the gate closed position to the switch input. That's what is done for my outdoor beams which usually can be wired.

But since he already have a wire there for a Reed switch it should be no issue at all.

Sorry not sure I completely follow, are you saying I can use a wire to a zone with the Evo gate motot outputs, can you please explain a bit more?
