You could use an input_boolean (software switch) instead of a hardware switch for activating your alarm. The advantage is that you can activate your alarm also when you are not at home.
The only problem - that criminal may turn down the power to your home externally, and such simple solution will be disabled. Many professional solutions use backup battery. And of course for the same reason they use cellular connectivity to server outside of the building (since when power is loss - no WiFi and maybe no local Internet).
7:10 Note that if you put ANYTHING onto the internet, it's highly recommended to setup a reverse proxy which tells traffic where to go, the reason to use it is because you only need two ports exposed 80 and 443, everything else can remain secure behind your router and more importantly it limits any attacks to your network to just the reverse proxy itself rather than your server or other devices, even better if you use containers such as docker and you can even use Cloudflare for free to obfuscate your IP address from potential threats. Also, thanks to NGINX Proxy Manager, this was made super easy to do fairly recently, I've been using it for my home appliances such as Nextcloud and I love it.

I love home assistant. If you add an integration to track whether you are home or not you could loose the toggle switch (and the chance to forget setting it). Cheers for the vid.
Exactly what I was thinking, this type of setup is far too easy to forget about and really you'd want it running 24/7 every time you aren't home, not just one week while you're away.
I really enjoyed this video, and agree that home assistant + esphome makes a great combination. I have water tank sensors using esphome, ultrasonic distance sensors to measure water level, and little OLED displays. But, for this application it is probably overkill. Xiaomi Aqara zigbee door sensors last years on a single battery charge, are tiny, and interface to home assistant using either a small zigbee usb stick or external zigbee box. They are reliable, and trivial to deploy. They are even used on Aircon Louvers to feedback on/off state. You could do the holiday switch thing as a virtual switch within home assistant (or just disable the notification automation).
Perhaps they watch it on double speed, and noticed either there is no alert on the switch being disabled, or that reed switches through a wooden door could be bypassed with magnetic visualization film to locate the magnet position -- a few dollars on amazon -- and a powerful magneton the other side of the door as it was opened?) A better solution would be a lock, and if you feel you need some sensing on the door, perhaps a few ultrasonic range finders on the other side of the room. If any of them change more than a small amount, you'll know someone is messing with your room. (Using just one might be easy to bypass if someone took the door off the hinges. ) An advantage of using multiple is that you'd also be able to tell if someone walks in front of the sensors.
Been using esphome for years for basic temp and env monitoring, would love to see some vids of you building a current sensor to measure household usage.
In the UK some of the electrical suppliers will give you a two part device that monitors your usage. One part is a current clamp that you clamp around the feed to your meter. It transmits by radio to a LCD display unit that can be in you kitchen or wherever. I think people get bored after a while and find no use for this gadget. You might be able to buy on on eBay. We had one where I work and it was discarded fairly soon.
If you use an analogue input with a resistive divider you could do quad state input sensing like a commercial alarm panel to know if the sensor/cabling has been tampered with.
Hi @GreatScott! isn't Power through electric plug a Security Flaw? What if Burglar/Intruder shuts your electricy down... Maybe upgrading this Project with a 18650 3.7V UPS board might be good idea
@@greatscottlab Interesting that some people can tell it's going to be bad without watching it too... Why do you like one group who haven't watched it, but not the other? Both are engagement.
zenith parsec Think about it, would you prefer a group of people who instantly think you’re terrible or your content is terrible, or a group of people that will support you no matter what? Your question is pretty self-explanatory.
One thing to consider with this setup: WiFi. Intruders can easily break this security setup with a 5$ pwnagotchi. You could improve that situation quite a bit by wiring at least the Pi using ethernet to the router. That way you could not only check for the open contact but also if the ESP is available or offline and send a notification if necessary.
I am building my own simpler than home assistant project and intruder detection is one of the things I am planning to implement. So to avoid the switch you can set the esp to trigger mac address sniffing algorithm after the door is open to distinguish friend or foe.
If your house is already wired for an alarm system, it's likely the control box has all the wires labeled and easy to patch to. Quite a great esp32 project to make!
Hey GreatScott is it possible to make a accurate lcr meter. Please make one or atleast mention the required ic ( DIP package please )... I recently got a good multimeter but it doesn't have capacitance and inductunce measurement I love your content ❤️.
5:17 you have to connect the esp chip to one of the usb ports on the raspberry pi and restart esp home. Then you can directly flash it without downloading the bin file.
I read of one guy who had some dodgy neighbours. He changed his ssid to something like this but a lot shorter. "Government mobile vehicle inspection van #27" :)
It could be possible to only send the notification when you are away from the house by checking GPS data of the phone, or checking if the phone is connected to local wifi network?

@6 months ago I don't think to dumb to use is the correct word there more to dumb to know about. Using them is VERY easy. They are very cheap and you can make your own. They show them off at security expos all the time. It's a well known fact that wireless security isn't the best, and it's often not much cheaper either, and in the long run with replacing batteries sometimes more expensive. Hardwired while it takes more effort offers a magnitude higher of security with a little extra effort.
With the amount of wireless traffic we're surrounded by these days, it'd be going off every millisecond. Just go all the way and get a spectrum analyzer, and then weep. powerwatch.org.uk/science/studies.asp

Yes, but it's very slow (Tried it myself, ended up swapping to pi 3)
Not to sure about using that system for a home? But that would be nice for rented accommodations.
You can add a camera or something to go alongside the door sensor. knowing when someone brakes in is good, but it isn't worth anything if you don't know who it was.
