ESP8266 Board (You will proably need to change the config in PlatformIO for your board)
You should probably choose a better pin layout than I did but apparently this is what I used judging from the code 😅
Download and install the PlatformIO IDE.
Create a file called config.h in the folder include with the contents of config_example.h.
Choose a language file (default selected is English):
#include "translations/EN.h"Add your WiFi and MQTT credentials:
#define WiFi_SSID "WiFi_SSID"
#define WiFi_PW "WiFi_PW"
#define MQTT_SERVER_IP "192.168.x.y"
#define MQTT_USER "MQTT_USER"
#define MQTT_PW "MQTT_PW"
#define MQTT_CLIENT_NAME "AlarmControlPanel"Adjust the other settings to your liking.
If needed adjust the settings in PlatformIO for your board.

MQTT Server (for Home Assistant OS: Mosquitto)

An alarm system (for example: Manual)

Some Automations (see YAML below)
