Python Developer – Smart Home Security & Alarm Logic (FastAPI / asyncio) We are building CalmOS, a premium local-first smart home system running on FastAPI (Python). We need a developer to implement the full security and alarm logic. All processing is on-device — no images or audio leave the system. Testable locally with a webcam, no on-site hardware required. --- ALARM TYPES (5): - Intrusion: camera + microphone detection, different behavior when resident is home vs. away - Fire/Smoke: shut down AC + KWL immediately (no oxygen feed), activate escape route lighting - CO (Carbon Monoxide): separate from CO₂ — ventilation to maximum - Medical Emergency: person down → voice check → contact person called → auto ambulance ALARM LEVELS (3): - Normal: standard sensitivity, 60s cancel window - Night: higher sensitivity, 30s cancel window - Holiday: maximum sensitivity, 15s cancel window --- INTRUSION — Resident NOT home: Full lights + flashing, siren via all speakers (indoor + outdoor). KI speaks directly to intruder via speakers: "You are being recorded and monitored, police is on the way." Camera records and zooms in on intruder. Push notification with live image to resident. Cancel window active. No cancel within timeout → automatic police call. INTRUSION — Resident home: KI asks resident first via speaker: "Movement detected — is everything ok?" No immediate full alarm. No response or confirmation of safety → full escalation as above. FIRE/SMOKE: AC + KWL immediately OFF (prevent oxygen feed). Camera zooms to fire location, image to resident app. Escape route floor lighting activated (path to exits). Cancel window → no cancel → auto fire dept. call. CO (Carbon Monoxide — separate from CO₂): Immediate resident alert. KWL to maximum (fresh air in). Door/window guidance. No response → auto emergency call. MEDICAL EMERGENCY: Camera recognizes person on floor, no movement. KI asks via speaker: "Is everything ok?" Also tries configured contact number. No response within timeout → auto ambulance call with GPS location + live camera image. --- CANCEL WINDOW: Via: app button / numeric code / voice codeword / voice recognition (POST /api/alarm/cancel). Time window configurable per alarm level. No cancel → auto escalation to emergency services. --- FALSE ALARM SUPPRESSION: - Steam in bathroom: ignore smoke trigger if humidity > 80% + person present - Pets: YOLO class filter — only humans trigger intrusion alarm - Battery beeping: audio pattern match, suppress + log for morning report - Audio classification: glass breaking, water sounds, smoke detector patterns --- PRIVACY ZONES (must be respected): - Bathroom: no cameras ever. Radar sensor only (fall detection). - Bedroom: cameras with physical shutter, default closed. Alert only via opt-in. - Living areas/kitchen/hallway: cameras active, full detection. - On-device processing only — no image leaves the room, no cloud, no external logging. --- INTEGRATION POINTS: | System | Protocol | Notes | |-------------------|-----------------------|------------------------------------------| | Lighting | Art-Net UDP 6454 | Full brightness + escape route on fire | | Ventilation (KWL) | Shelly HTTP RPC | Off on fire, max on CO | | Climate (AC) | HTTP RPC | Off immediately on fire | | Sockets | Shelly HTTP RPC | Off in zone on water leak | | Audio/Siren | Snapcast JSON-RPC | Alert stream + KI voice to intruder | | Push | WebSocket /ws | Frontend receives event + camera image | | Camera input | RTSP stream | Motion/person/fire/water detection | | CO Sensor | ESPHome native API | Separate from CO₂ sensors | --- ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: - Intrusion (no one home) → lights, siren, KI speaks, push within 2s - Intrusion (resident home) → KI asks first, no immediate siren - Cancel works via app, code, voice codeword - No cancel → escalation fires after configured timeout - Fire → AC + KWL off within 1s, escape route lighting on - Water leak → correct sockets disabled, valve command sent - CO → KWL to max within 1s - Medical → voice prompt plays, contact number tried, ambulance after timeout - All 3 alarm levels behave differently (sensitivity + escalation time) - Steam in bathroom does NOT trigger fire alarm - Pets do NOT trigger intrusion alarm - All detection on-device — no external API calls for camera/audio analysis - Testable end-to-end with webcam (no house hardware required) --- OPEN ITEMS (placeholders needed in code): - Push notification to external app (future) - Auto emergency call integration (API/SIP — to be defined) - Exact camera RTSP URL (available 22.05.) - Per-resident emergency contact number (app-configurable)

Hi there, The hard part here is not object detection, it’s building a deterministic async alarm engine that can coordinate sensors, escalation logic, device control, and suppression rules in real time without race conditions or false escalations. I’d structure this as isolated asyncio-driven state machines per alarm type inside FastAPI, with an internal event bus handling RTSP events, Snapcast alerts, Art-Net lighting, Shelly RPC actions, and escalation timers independently. False alarms would be handled at the rule layer: ---humidity + occupancy suppression for bathroom steam ---YOLO human-only filtering for intrusion ---audio pattern classification for detector beeps/glass/water Privacy zones would be enforced directly in the processing pipeline so restricted camera feeds never enter detection services at all. The key is keeping every alarm flow composable, testable locally with webcam streams, and fully on-device without external inference dependencies. Most implementations fail when concurrency and escalation timing collide. That’s the part I can architect properly from the start. Best; Zaman

I read the spec and get it: you need deterministic, low-latency alarm logic running locally on-device — cameras and mics processed locally, privacy zones enforced, multi-step cancel flows, and tight integrations (Art-Net, Shelly, Snapcast). The real challenge is making fast, auditable decisions while avoiding false alarms from steam, pets, or household noises. I built the realtime backend for Skaly, including WebSocket push, async event handling, and on-device model hooks for privacy-sensitive processing, so I’m comfortable with low-latency, local-first pipelines. Plan: implement an asyncio state machine per zone/alarm level, RTSP frame consumer with lightweight on-device classifiers (person/fire/pose), audio pipeline with VAD and pattern matching, and atomic actuator calls to Art-Net/Shelly/Snapcast. Expose POST /api/alarm/cancel with multi-modal verification (app/code/voice). Write unit and integration tests that run with a webcam and simulated device endpoints. Rate: 15 EUR/hour. Can you grant read access to the repo so I can draft a short implementation plan and test-suite outline?

Hi, I read through the CalmOS brief and get what you want built. You need the full alarm and safety logic wired into FastAPI with clean asyncio paths and real‑time reactions. I’ve done similar local‑only pipelines before, including camera and audio triggers. I’d focus on delivering clear flows for each alarm type and level: - Intrusion logic with home/away branches - Fire, CO, medical, and water‑leak handling with device calls - Cancel window endpoints and state tracking - False‑alarm filters and privacy zone rules - Local test mode with webcam and mocked hardware I can start right away and this looks manageable in a short focused sprint. Which part of the alarm flow should be the central state authority—the FastAPI service or a dedicated alarm-state manager module? Greetings, Slavko

Hi there You are basically looking for someone to take all these alarm scenarios that live in your head and turn them into one clear, testable brain that runs locally on CalmOS. That means robust event orchestration in Python, not just scattered if statements. I work exactly in that area, using FastAPI with asyncio to coordinate sensors, timers and external devices in a predictable way, while keeping the actual detection on device and under your control. My approach would be to model alarms as explicit state machines with levels and timeouts, then wire them to your integration points lighting, ventilation, AC, sockets, audio, push and camera in a single orchestration layer. Each scenario intrusion, fire, CO, medical gets its own flow with a cancel window, escalation path and clear hooks for the open items like external push and emergency calls, so you can plug those in later without refactoring core logic. Privacy zones and false alarm rules would be first class citizens in the design, not afterthought checks. I like to work transparently in Git, with small, reviewable commits and async friendly code that is easy to read, test and extend. We can simulate the whole thing with a webcam and mocked integrations until your real hardware is ready, and I will leave you with documented modules and examples so CalmOS can evolve without losing clarity.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✅Hi there, hope you are doing well! I have successfully developed smart home security alarms in Python using FastAPI and asyncio, where on-device processing handled intrusion and environmental alarms smoothly. The key to success in this project is precise on-device alarm logic combined with rapid response integration for varying sensor inputs. Approach: ⭕ Implement all alarm types with respect to alarm levels and resident status ⭕ Integrate audio and video detection with YOLO and sensor filtering for false alarm suppression ⭕ Program cancel windows using multiple cancel methods (app, numeric code, voice) ⭕ Develop real-time integration with Shelly, Snapcast, and Art-Net protocols for system control ⭕ Ensure user privacy zones strictly by blocking camera streams where needed ⭕ Provide clean API endpoints and modular code for future emergency call and notification expansions ❓Could you share the preferred emergency call API or SIP service expected for future integration? ❓Is there any existing webhook or app backend prepared for push notifications? ❓What is the timeline for camera RTSP URL availability to finalize integration? I am confident my expertise in FastAPI, asyncio, and embedded AI systems will deliver a robust and privacy-conscious smart security system as defined. Best regards, Nam

Hi! Your system being local-first with strict privacy zones is rare — most smart home platforms hand everything to the cloud. Handling alarms with different logic for resident home vs. away, and privacy rules on sensors, will need very careful access control. I built a role-based access logic for a similar home control platform last year — full separation of staff and resident zones, on-device only. For CalmOS, I’d set up the alarm flows in FastAPI with per-alarm-type handlers, async I/O for sub-second response, and mock modules for every device protocol. The smart bit here is the cancel window and escalation logic — especially the sequence for medical and intrusion events. One question: for voice recognition (codeword or voice prompt), do you want the code stubs in place now, or wait until the actual AI/ASR integration spec is ready? I can share a diagram or a first outline of how I'd model these events and integrations — free, no strings. You can also see more relevant projects at work.techindika.com. — Pradeep

Dear Sir, I am thrilled to bid your project. I can implement CalmOS security and alarm logic in your existing FastAPI/asyncio local-first system, keeping all camera/audio processing on-device with no external analysis calls. I have experience with Python async architecture, state machines, alarm workflows, device adapters, WebSocket events, RTSP/webcam processing, Shelly HTTP RPC, Snapcast JSON-RPC, Art-Net UDP, and configurable YAML/JSON rules. My approach would be to build modular alarm engines for Intrusion, Fire/Smoke, CO, Medical Emergency, and Water Leak, with Normal, Night, and Holiday sensitivity/timeouts. I will add cancel windows via POST /api/alarm/cancel, code/voice placeholders, escalation timers, false-alarm suppression for steam, pets, battery beeps, and privacy-zone rules for bathroom, bedroom, and living areas. For hardware-free testing, I can provide mock adapters and webcam-based test flows so intrusion, fire, CO, medical, cancel, and escalation logic can be verified locally. One important question: should emergency calls remain mocked/placeholders in this phase until your SIP/API provider is chosen? This is crucial because live police, fire, and ambulance integrations must be handled safely and legally. I would be glad to deliver clean, documented, testable Python code that fits CalmOS architecture. Sincerely, Adison.
