Yeah the Ademco Vista series with the AlarmDecoder bridge is great for hardwired alarms as well as the Ademco remote sensors, and then can be handled through Home Assistant, OpenHab, or similar. One benefit of using conventional hardware is that you can connect it to an official alarm monitoring service and satisfy the requirement for a discount on your home insurance. Not sure if a completely DIY system can qualify for insurance purposes.
