Working on phase 3 of my Buurtmelder (“Neighbourhood Notifier") project, where I'll be rolling out the terminals to our neighbours.

In case you're interested in what it does: it intercepts RF signals emitted by alarm systems and broadcasts those signals across a group of terminals (using MQTT, with a LoRa backup in case the Internet connection is down). Those terminals could be installed at your neighbours’ homes. That way, an alarm (burglar, panic, SOS) can be shared with people that live close by and can respond quickly to an alarm situation in your home.

Firmware is based on ESPHome, so Home Assistant integration comes built-in. But the terminal will run completely standalone.
