https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HxibICR8zo Capable embedded electronics are getting cheaper, and most tinkerers have thought at some point about enhancing their lives by automating some aspect of their home. This workshop will equip the participants with the basic knowledge required to wifi-enable household objects, and respond to sensors such as switches, sound, and light. Particpants will learn how to script behaviours on the ESP8266 wifi module using the LUA scripting language, communicate to a central server using MQTT (a message passing protocol), and build complex behaviours using the NodeRed drag & drop environment.
Use a SR Latch IC for button press detection, don't waste brain and cpu cycles with interrupts, timers etc.

Up to 400 devices on a single serial RS-232 port with free Windows automation software. The Weedtech system is one of the simplest to use. One can implement an alarm system defining custom events and triggers with a GUI windows interface.

Use RS485, CAN bus and InfraRedLeds for an alarm circuit wireless can be jammed:

While most home burglars are not necessarily the most sophisticated, I have read a few reports of the ease of use of hacking the LaserShield. This basically involves breaking the communication between the base unit and sensors, such as by just having a two way radio turned to the same frequency and sending some noise over it to break reception. The base unit does not seem to regularly poll the remote sensors from what I can tell, and so is unaware of a break in communication. Engadget has a video demonstrating the hack here http://www.engadget.com/videos/lockdown/lasershield-bypass.wmv
While little security is better than none, I still think its important to understand the risks of poorly designed wireless security system devices versus well designed ones or even more conventional wired security system devices.

=== Build own PIR ===
Purchase PIR lenses from http://localhost:8080/OpticalManufacturers and reverse engineer Paradox PIR outdoor passives retailing for R500 via BoMarc.
This will allow us to manually build an outdoor petsafe PIR for R100. 
=== Roof protection ===
If you want to detect a roof intrusion, use impact detectors on the underside of the roof.

The GS600-W Inertia shock sensor can be installed on glass, walls and roofs.

Detect movement across the lawn use seismic detectors. You can also use medium range microwave "beams"
which consist of a transmitter and separate receiver.

If you want to sleep with open windows consider using wired alarm screens. When wired properly these are difficult to

n my HA system there are three subsystems that use full duplex RS-485 (Elk
M1G, Aprilaire, Napco.) and two that use half-duplex (Elk MM443s and Ivie
audio auto-mixers). And then there's DMX which as typically implemented, uses
half of a full duplex -- which is not the same as "half-duplex" ;-)

As just one example, HomeDaemon now explicitly supports the CA9000
Intermatic PIR. That is, it knows how to manage the device in "battery
friendly" mode, including keeping track of the battery power level.
