This will be my own lack of knowledge but can you explain how the relay would prevent damaging the control panel as I need to learn about this sort of thing? With the way I was planning on doing this, I was going to use a Shelly i4DC to just measure the voltage across two pins. Is that more...
From what I can see, there isn't but would love to be proved wrong. The other challenge is there's only one PGM output as far as I can see so not sure how I'd be able to read both?
I only want my Home Assistant to know the state of the alarm so it can use that as a condition for automations. I don't think a relay would help with this?
I'd like to be able to detect when my Enforcer alarm has been armed so that my home automation system can run some tasks. I'm planning on using
a Shelly Plus i4 DC to do the detection. It will be powered by an external 12v plug.
