aAlarm V4 : Intrusion detection with RaspberryPI and NFC

Overview
AAlarm is an alarm system.

This 4th version is entirely based on RaspberryPi. AAlarm is NFC controlled (card or smartphone), sends alert mails, and links its events with a network camera motion detection. A web interface allows remote control.

Features
- Sensors monitoring using GPIO
- AAlarmUI : A web interface for remote control and events viewing
- NFC : Activate or deactivate alarm using NFC cards or devices
- LCD display
- Security Camera : Using Motion
- Alert Mail sending
- Rest server : Remote control from AAlarmUi
- Rest client : Send orders to Domoticz, send events to AAlarmUi
- Sound notifications
- Music playing when you’re out, to simulate presence

Previous versions
In previous versions, Arduino was used as IO interface with sensors and keypad.

A serial link was used to communicate between Arduino and Raspberry PI, which was much more complicated.

Currently, Arduino is completly replaced by RaspberryPI GPIO functions.

Concepts
AAlarm life cycles involves states. States are like aalarm modes. Each state reprensent an alarm condition, switching between states is triggered by events.

States
Table 1. System states

State name Description Trigger
offline - Alarm is disabled - NFC, webui
idle - Alarm is waiting a sensor to trigger online state - Door is closed
online - Alarm is enabled - Door event, webui
breach - A critical sensor has been activated - Door event
warning - A reminder before alert- Time trigger
alert - Breach without alarm deactivation - Time trigger

Events
NFC events
Passing a valid card near the NFC reader will toggle between offline and idle states.

Door events
Door sensor detects :

Close to Open as closed_to_open event
Open to Close as open_to_close event

Table 2. Door sensor

State name Description
open - Door is open
close - Door is closed

Depending of the current state, it may trigger online state or breach state.

WebUi events
Once logged, the user can force state toggling between online state and offline state.

LCD Display
Display useful reports from AAlarm monitor.

I’m using a 16x2 character from Adafruit. They also provide a backpack which allows i2c or SPI interface (We use i2c in this project).

Software
Install Raspbian
Download from official site Raspbian Jessie lite
(https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/)

Write image to sd card using linux dd or Windows using win32diskimager.

Raspbian configuration

Using
Code:
sudo raspi-config


Enable ssh

Enable i2c

Enable spi

You may have to reboot at this point.

Add your own USER and remove default pi user.

Code:
sudo adduser USER
sudo userdel pi


Then, add USER to required groups

Code:
sudo adduser USER sudo
sudo adduser USER gpio
sudo adduser USER spi
sudo adduser USER i2c
sudo adduser USER audio
