I would like to build a home alarm system based on the KC868-A16 board. I plan to document everything as precisely as possible to make it easier for others to follow this path.
Starting point:
My house is wired with copper cables leading to every window, door, and most room ceilings.
I use Home Assistant with the MQTT2Zigbee plugin and mainly Zigbee devices.
The goal:
A wired alarm system with a power backup, integrated into Home Assistant, and with relatively low acquisition costs.
The initial questions are:
1. Can I simply connect a magnetic sensor to the digital inputs?
(If yes, what voltage do they operate on?)
2. Can I connect a 24V siren to the dry contact output?
Could I power it separately using the board’s 12V power supply?
I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much.
PS.: I am currently designing a 3D case for the board (which I’ll gladly share with the community once it’s ready).
Also ive got many Cases for Mounting of the magnet sensors and the movementdetectors.
