Could you build this?

Partial While the web-based touchscreen UI and Home Assistant integrations are easily vibe-coded, writing real-time embedded firmware that interfaces with local RF (433MHz, Zigbee, Z-Wave) and hardware GPIO pins on ESP32/ARM panels requires embedded hardware know-how.

What it would actually take: The system requires an embedded firmware stack (typically C++/ESP-IDF or embedded Linux) running on hardware like Elecrow CrowPanel to handle direct GPIO interrupts, state machine management for alarm zones/delays, and low-level RF transceivers. Alongside this, a local web server (embedded HTTP/WebSocket) handles the local configuration UI and bi-directional MQTT or Home Assistant API bindings without cloud dependencies.
