The whole house as a cutaway, with everything that watches it and everything that talks: an alarm panel in the hall with its SOS button, a contact on every door, gate and window, a motion sensor in every room, glass-break on the pool house doors, three cameras, a siren and strobe, smoke and CO, a leak hub under the sink, smart locks on the door, the gate and the garage, a floodlight over the path, and a monitoring station behind it all. On the same drawing: a station at the gate, at the front door, in every room, speakers for announcements and your phones for when nobody is in. Tap anything for its card and what we would automate. The dotted line shows where a call or an alert goes.
Twenty-two things to tap: the alarm panel and its SOS button, the door and window contacts, the motion sensors, the glass-break sensor, the three cameras, the siren and strobe, smoke and CO, the leak hub, the three smart locks, the floodlight, presence simulation, the monitoring station; the gate, front door, hall, kitchen, bedroom, study, bathroom, pool house and garage stations, the ceiling speakers and your phones. From the panel and the hall cards you also reach the visitor log and the chime routing. In the day: breakfast is called from the kitchen, the house arms itself when the last phone leaves, the cleaner is recognised at the gate and gets her own window, a courier is told to leave the parcel in the porch from your phone, a window left open is flagged and bypassed, the gate opens for the gardener and locks again, you are let in by face at half five, dinner is called to every station, the taxi is announced, the house goes to armed-home at night, calls after 22:00 ring your phones only, and at 01:35 an intruder scenario runs end to end: glass break at the pool house, siren and strobe, every light on, cameras recording, phones alerted, the monitoring station verifying and calling the police.
