Does anyone use their Zipabox as real alarm system???

Hello,

I'm asking this question because in my case I'm struggling a lot.

First, the SSA siren is not activated by the native alarm module, some workarounds are existing but it's really not convenient and weird that a standard siren is not usable.

Second, I have problems to set the parameters of my HSP02 everspring motion sensor devices to save the batteries.


Any feedback on the use of Zipabox as alarm? I'm having serious doubts on the maturity of this module.


Thanks,

Thomas

Hello,

I am not using the Alarm module yet, But I plan to do so very soon. I

delayed the implementation because I am currently trying to identify

which Siren I should use with the box. Looks like users are experiencing issues even with "standard siren"...So I am somewhat confused.


Regarding sensors, I am planning to use HSM02 and SM103 door sensors and FGMS-001 motion sensors. that I already have.

My experience is that all sensors were using too much batttery (need to change every 2 to 3 months). I changed the "Wakeup" parameter but if it is too long, than zipabox has a tendency to put devices "offline"

Yup, every day and it's working fine. It goes on and off automatically depending on my GEO location (2 phones) and some other stuff.


But sometimes i get false triggers but this has to do with cross zoning not working right (zipato is looking into this).


I'm using Fibaro door/windows sensors and Fibaro Motion sensor and have to change the batteries ever 7/8 months.


Not using any Siren yet but got the Aeon Labs Siren (GEN5) but this one it not working with the Zipabox yet. So for now only lights (on/off), notification, webcam and the neighbors :)
