Security adaptor devices for third-party sensors in premises security systems

Abstract

According to one or more embodiments, a premises security system includes a sensor adaptor device mountable on a third-party sensor. The sensor adaptor device comprises at least one terminal in electrical communication with a preconfigured premises device of a premise security system, and processing circuitry configured to: store a mapping of a plurality of third-party sensor signals to a plurality of translated third-party signals, detect a first third-party sensor signal emitted from the third-party sensor, determine that the first third-party sensor signal maps to a first translated third-party signal based on the mapping, and in response to determining that the first third-party sensor signal maps to the first translated third-party signal, trigger, via the at least one terminal where the preconfigured premises device to cause the preconfigured premise device to transmit an alert signal to the premises security system.
