[idealarm] Wise to implement MQTT Alarm control panel support? #130

Open Rick-Jongbloed opened 5 years ago

Rick-Jongbloed commented 5 years ago

I suggested to implement support for the mqtt-alarm-control-panel in the old ideAlarm branch. This is an android app that manages locking and unlocking. I really like the idea and the app and i started to implement this in ideAlarm. (But then i decided to migrate from 2.3 to 2.4 and all the stuff stopped working :-)).

We can extend it with support for https://www.hackster.io/thanksmister/mqtt-alarm-control-panel-for-home-assistant-a206cc

To be honest, i do like the implementation described on https://www.home-assistant.io/components/alarm_control_panel.mqtt/ too. If we implement such a standard, we might allow multiple front ends.

Another option is to design a standard habpanel screen which works out of the box.

By making sure we have support for a nice GUI, we have a (full) alarm system with a gui which will probably result in a higher adoption of the ideAlarm system.

What are your opinions on this?

@Rick-Jongbloed, I was doing some housekeeping ... would you mind if I closed this issue due to lack of interest?
