I’m moving soon and we’ve been using a Ring alarm and I no longer want that for obvious reasons. I do however like the functionality like mobile network, battery backup and remote access into it.

Are there any off-the-shelf solutions anyone can recommend? Or am I better getting creative with Home Assistant and making sure it’s on my UPS? I’ve had a bit of a dig around, but searches are getting shitter and I’m not really coming up with anything that isn’t just a major US tech firm or cost hundreds.

Any thoughts much welcomed.

I wasn’t familiar with Alarmo but that looks interesting. Home Assistant is definitely going to be on site so that looks like an interesting project to investigate.

I don’t need anything professional, just piece of mind when I’m out. I simple notification will take care of that. Hopefully my router etc and RPi on the UPS will deal with that.
