Relay input/output #90

Closed oldgeezy closed 6 years ago

oldgeezy commented 6 years ago

I've got a couple of Amcrest IP2M-841W camera's setup at the house. I made a kludge smoke detector for one that feeds into the camera relay, using a DC-DC step up converter to get the 9v required by the sensor.

It works OK and the app on my phone pushes me a notification if the relay is triggered. But it's not really enough to wake me up or alert the whole house etc. It would be great if I could have those relays exposed to homeassisstant. I'm not a software developer and don't have a sense for what it would take to get them working. Just wanted to post here and see if there's any interest.

@mikegeeezy did you try to use our python module directly? Marcelo created the integration with HA. @tchellomello could you please check how to integrate with HA?

@mikegeeezy I think the best route is to connect your smoke detector using a raspberry pi with an arest sensor.

@mikegeeezy ask that on the HA forums as people might have some nice input.
