In this video we take a look at how I’ve integrated my Texecom Premier Elite burglar alarm system with my self hosted smart home based around Node-RED and Home Assistant. We’ll take a look at the TTL UART to Ethernet adapter hardware as well as the software configuration including a brief demonstration of how easy it is to interact with the alarm using Texecom’s Crestron Protocol. This solution also allows the alarm to be configured over the network using Texecom’s Wintex software.
