Has anyone built out a self-hosted home alarm system? Something like ADT, but entirely self-hosted?
I’m wondering if this is possible with some combination of Frigate, Home Assistant, and something called Alarmo?
Or can a simple alarm system be created with just Frigate? I was thinking something simple like putting a camera inside my house when I leave. Then if any motion is detected inside of the house, activate a siren to scare potential burglars.
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)
