Build a Low-Cost Smart Alarm System in Home Assistant with Alarmo 🚨

[u/DMO89-]

Hey folks,

I just released a new video on my YouTube channel where I show how to build a budget-friendly alarm system in Home Assistant using the Alarmo integration.

This setup is great if you:

Don’t want to spend hundreds on a proprietary alarm system

Already use Home Assistant for automation

Want full control over notifications and triggers (doors, windows, motion sensors, etc.)

👉 The video is in German, but YouTube’s auto-generated English subtitles work surprisingly well, so it’s easy to follow even if you don’t speak German.

Here’s the link: https://youtu.be/GS2aEk-dcf0

I’d love to hear: Has anyone else here built an alarm setup with Alarmo? What sensors or setups do you recommend? 🙌
