First and foremost pardon the noob question that I have here. I have an alarm panel, that has 2 output terminals, 12V DC each, to indicate arm and disarm status. Means when armed, it has 12V DC voltage. When disarmed then no voltage. I'm trying to figure out, how to use this output into my smart home app ( could be anything, apple home, tuya, Ewelink etc etc)
As far as I'm concerned there are no smart switches that can use a DC voltage as an input signal (not input supply) or even a dry contact as an input , it can only control dry contact outputs. Any ideas?
For example if I connect an ewelink smart switch ( the Autogate type that accepts 7-32V DC as an input supply) then the switch would only be powered when the alarm is armed and offline (no power) when the alarm is off. And even if it's armed and powered, the status of the switch in the app is non relevant.
