Overview

Home Assistant custom integration for managing up to 1024 alarm zones, 32 partitions, 32 keypads, 128 alarm users, and a full event log — with a spreadsheet-style sidebar panel.

The goal is to add commercial-grade intrusion and fire alarm features to Home Assistant and democratize functionality often limited to cost-prohibitive commercial equipment.
