Home alarm recommendations? (lemmy.world)

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.

Theres Alarmo, where you can turn your Home Assistant sensors like cameras with person detection etc. into an alarm system. There are a lot of good sensors (motion, …) from Shelly for example. That’s what I’m going to try.

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.
