DOMON: that sounds like a good way to lock my children in the house my accident
* The magnetic lock is powered by a dedicated UPS with enough power to run the lock for 6+ hours :
DOMON: see above
* The security system (ELK M1-Gold) and smart home hub (ISY994i) talk to each other natively so events can trigger home automation events and vice versa :
DOMON: bitch please, get with the times. All my stuff is zwave and zigbee
* The Elk panel has outputs which allow me to control things like my sprinkler system, or anything else like it's a relay on the end of a smart device.
DOMON: Yep, sprinkler system is all hardwired into a pi
