if all you need is limited info from the alarm, ie armed status, in alarm etc then id use something with a good native app and send the relevant info to HA via inputs or if possible 232 printer. I wouldnt have any reverse command options from the HA box into the intruder alarm.
I know its not supposed to be permanant but if i get 3 years out of it ill be happy. I expect the seals to fail on it to be fair with whats its shifting. The grunfos that I bout previously only did 4 years
I got one of these when stuck as the previous 'dark water' pump failed but its been in for over a year now

I can't say I'd use plastic inside for any plumbing all I've done on the kitchen etc has been copper and solder. But i can see why it's used on modern builds its very quick and easy compared to tube. I see push fit installed with joints in walls etc but I wouldnt
The speedfit is just being used inside. Will be painted for the 200mm at each basket. Wanted to use it as its in the house and i didnt want any leaks. Ive done it without joints thats why the 4 way manifold.
Used this solonoid

Just cos i have them i dont need the switch input but may add it to the enclosure depending on how the auto goes with the weather etc
Currently running on a hose pipe feed but will be plumbed in properly
The out hose connection is for the veg patch
There is no way to control 3rd party integrations if the provider doesn't have 3rd party certification. Its a want these houses have not a need. Think about what would happen if the system failed to perform. The certification company would be taking all the risk on a system the installer / maintainer has no control over. I believe these integrations rely on engineer level access between them. Any installer doing this without the necessary protection is daft IMHO.
There is a 'guide' being worked on but the scope is so massive there is no time line if it ever sees the light of day.
Getting any eu compliant panel to talk to a non graded system isnt currently doable out of the box. You can obviously use relays and such like but not ideal. I use home assistant with my hkc system but there is no way id allow home assistant to control the set status only to view or for logic etc.
You could probably get the events via 232 printer but ive not investigated that yet
The only system I know that did this was the old castle stuff multiple end stations was called a 2900 to begin with then a multi 2500 or 2700. I'd go with 6 it's probably not linked
