Smart alarm advice

[The Horseman]

Hope I can get some advice on moving over from my old wired alarm to wireless. I’ve been looking at the Ajax products, look great but not cheap. I’m assuming they work incredibly well given their price. I don’t want to skimp so if the price is worth it I’ll take it.

Are there any other systems available that are recommended?

with my requirements with all the passives and door sensors I’m looking at R25k plus.

Cheers for any advice.

Is there a reason why you want it wireless? A lot cheaper to make your existing alarm system smart.

I was interested in the Ajax products but they don't seem to have any google home integration.

I hooked up my existing DSC to home assistant

Mine is completely wireless and is controlled by home assistant. I use my phone to control the keypad as well. Only drawback is that it's not linked to armed response, but I'm looking at options to alert the guards at the entrance gate as well if it triggers.

The easy, off the shelf (and expensive) way is to simply get an Envisalink. The DIY option is a touch more work, but a lot cheaper - https://github.com/Dilbert66/esphome-dsckeybus
