The house burglar alarm is a Yale HSA6400 Wireless unit, but has a few shortcomings in terms of functionality. I'd really like a web and mobile phone GSM interface. What better than adding an Arduino internally to provide those functions.
Part 1 of the design & build:-
Part 2, the GSM module is working:-
TECHNICAL
For now the code I have written (not published due to privacy/security purposes for now) incorporates the GSM module only. The Ethernet and LCD I/O functionality will follow at a later date.
The Ethernet module works but as the GSM module is memory hungry I have dispensed with that functionality for now, as I have done with the LCD interface also for now.
