I have Alarmo setup in HA with a bunch of ZigBee sensors and it's brilliant. I haven't used it with cameras, but considering Frigate exposes motion sensors, I think this should work fine.
And yes, you can do this with just Frigate and a HA automation, but it would be less flexible.
Seconded, Alarmo rules. I even have HA send me video clips over Signal!
Alarmo + Ring Keypad v2 + https://github.com/ImSorryButWho/HomeAssistantNotes/blob/main/RingKeypadV2.md
🤌
I have a Konnected pro flashed with esphome. All my wired sensors from the old alarm system work with home assistant/alarmo as well as additional ZigBee sensors. It's a fantastic set up.
To high jack this thread, does ubiquity also have the ability to do this?
I have Frigate with a TPU, that is connected to Home Assistant.
As soon as we leave the house (and HA detects us outside of "home") it enables recording and motion detection on Frigate.
A blueprint for frigate allows to send notification on motion detection.
It's a simple but frustrating setup to put in place (thanks to Coral USB TPU lacking proper docs / updates) but now it works nicely.
You don't need Frigate+ but you could do a 1-shot buy to get enhanced detection models (my cats are often detected as persons and triggers false warning, FG+ should help)
I mean just reprogram the alarm system to not call anybody. Believe there are integrations to home assistant for most alarm systems.
