Hi All,
Thanks in advance for any ideas and help. My wife and I bought our first house and it came with an ADT system installed (but disconnected from the network, not sure how long). As shown in the pictures it is a Safewatch Plus A910KR. I did a search and didn't find anything directly related to my panel (as far as my question is concerned). My question is this, what are my options, if any, of using the existing sensors with a self monitoring solution that would send me alerts (emails/texts) when something has triggered. I consider myself handy in some areas, cars, carpentry, but I don't have much electrical experience outside of basic lighting fixture changes.
In case it matters in terms of hardware solutions, I am also planning on installing POE security cameras for use with Blue Iris (am flexible if someone has a better solution for software). As for home automation we have a wink hub and lutron outlets. I realize we may have to use multiple apps for monitoring and automation but consolidation can be nice. Thank you in advance, the help is very much appreciated.
