The 433Mhz sensors use regular AA or AAA batteries and so far I have two PIRs outside that are still working fine after a year. The sensors are just 433Mhz sensors. The 433Mhz hub has Tasmota firmware. This is close to the old X10 sensors battery life and much better than the ZWave or Zigbee...

I only used GRI powered sensors near the sump pump wells here connected to the OmniPro 2. It was only 2 of them. That said DS-10's should work well. An alternative to use would be 433Mhz contact sensors connected to a Tasmota 433Mhz hub. I have a few of these today connected to Home...

Here initially ran MQTT autonomously on the Ubuntu server. I did have some issues with HA using MQTT. I switched the configuration of MQTT server to HA and all was well afterwards. Lately been grouping Tasmota switches for multiple lamps in rooms. Works well.

You can also change the email board to point to the STunnel proxy if you want.

Is there a chance the HAI messaging board you install in the OMNI panel has been updated to support standard required SMTP message encryption? You can send the SMTP message to STunnel.

You can use Homeseer Omni or Home Assistant OmniLinkBridge.
