A significant number of homes already have wireless sensors installed. Almost all of these sensors (glass break, motion, contact, key fob, etc) can be monitored via sdr using rtl_433.

I always thought it would be a pretty viable start up business to sell a security system in a box for people with existing security equipment. Connect the security system in a box and then open and close your door/window/etc to begin monitoring those wireless events.

Shameless plug: I wrote the rtl_433 GE/Interlogix sensor protocol decoder.
