Virtual alarm:
Our virtual alarm can be used on top of already existing alarm system like DSC or Paradox (in that case, you will need to connect Zipabox expansion module Security or Serial which have a serial port).
If you don't have an existing wired Security system you can use the benefit of our Virtual alarm and connect different wireless sensors (Z-Wave, EnOcean, 433 etc.): Motion, Flood, Door/Window, Smoke, and actuators: Bulb, Siren, Power Switch. When some sensor (virtual security zone) is triggered/virtual alarm is tripped which can then activate some siren, light or can even play some loud music over your home speakers.
The possibilities and benefits are almost unlimited.
