Aritech Alarm Internet Dialler

That's just a keypad, is there a controller box?

There will be a control panel in the hot press, utility room or under the stairs more than likely.
Those panels can be defaulted & reprogrammed if you want engineer access. What do you want to do?

Well done Ozzo, looks good.
I did something similar 2 years ago with aritech 10 zone panel cs450 and has been working fine since
I Connected the 16 input/outputs through resistors into the leonardo arduino inputs, Think they were 1k
eg:
int input0 = 0; //D0 GREE Armed/UnArmed
int input1 = 1; //D1 YELL Alarm
int input2 = 2; //D2 BLUE P.A.
int input3 = 3; //D3 ORNG FIRE
int input4 = 5; //D5 RED Internal Siren
int input5 = 7; //D7 BLCK Ext Bell
int input6 = 10; //D10 WHT Doorbell
int input7 = 11 ; //D11 BRN OR testswitch for input0
int Led1 = 13;
int analog0 = A0; //A0 W/O Entry/exit
int analog1 = A1; //A1 O/W Hall+lounge
int analog2 = A2; //A2 W/B Cloak+Laundry
int analog3 = A3; //A3 B/W Patio+Kit
int analog4 = A4; //A4 W/G Bed123+enS
int analog5 = A5; //A5 G/W Bed4+Bath
int analog6 = A8; //D6 W/B PIR Hall+Kit
int analog7 = A9; //D8 B/W PIR Patio

When their values changed providing input 0 was low (armed) it sent an email from smtp.upcmail.ie to
This seemed to work fine for a week or 2 but then forgot to send them.

I then made it that everytime the hall door opened I got an email so that kept it awake.

I also bought 100 texts from for about £5,
so when outside bell goes on I get a text, showing which sensors are open at the time.
I also get an email showing every sensors state.

I prefer your system of just 6 wires, but my system only requires a resistor on the input.

I ran the ethernet to the panel, as wifi is only another thing to go wrong

For ease I got a piece of veroboard and mounted the pins on it backwards with a resistor on the inputs and the wiring on it. I nomorenails it to the alarm box with the pins sticking out so it is stationary and the ethernet shield just pushes onto it and the leonardo just pushes onto it.

Butchered a 1A usb car cigarette adaptor fed from 12v battery to power it up and grounded the negative.

I coded it so that led13 flashes like a strobe to show that it is alive and when sending an email it goes on for a second or 2. This made it easier to test.

In engineering mode / output test and i make output 0 low, I can go around the house and test the whole alarm, via eircom emails
