I’m considering modifying a SmartThings door/window sensor to report the voltage trigger event to set an away mode.Īlternately, your solution appears that it would do the same with other benefits.Īm I correct and, if so, which parts would be required?

I would like to go with an Ecobee4 but I’ll lose the ability have the thermostat know if we are home or not based on whether the burg system is armed.

It’s far more reliable than programs, learning schedule patterns, or other occupancy sensors. Arming the system in away mode is the trigger. Mine is set for day mode 78 degrees, night mode 71 degrees. I have an NX8 in my home with an HAI Omnistat thermostat specifically because it accepts a 12 volt trigger (aux output from burg panel) to set the thermostat into day mode/night mode. I own an alarm company and we work with Networx panels on a very regular basis.
