Argus is a powerful, elegant, and privacy-first alarm system for Home Assistant.
Designed to go far beyond a simple alarm panel — Argus brings security, guest access, audit trails, automation, and a glass-style UI all in one unified experience.
"Security should feel as polished as the home it protects."
Most Home Assistant alarm integrations are functional but bare. Argus is different.
Built from the ground up with a premium UI, multi-zone logic, guest access management, and a smooth glass-style control panel, Argus is designed for people who want both real protection and real elegance.
Whether you're protecting a smart apartment, a family home, or a professional space — Argus adapts to your needs.
- 🏠 Multi-zone alarm system — arm, disarm, and configure each area independently
- 👤 Guest access management — create temporary or permanent access with PIN and NFC tag support
- 📋 Full audit history — every action is logged with timestamps, user, and device
- 🌙 Light & Dark Mode — a beautiful Liquid Glass-inspired UI, auto-synced with your system theme
- 📱 Mobile-first panel — designed for tablets, phones, and wall-mounted displays
- 🔔 Smart notifications — TTS announcements, push alerts, and custom automations
- 🔒 Device-aware sessions — guest sessions are tied to devices, not just PINs
- 🌡️ Integrated controls — manage lights, locks, climate, and cameras from the same panel
- 🌍 Multi-language — English and Spanish included out of the box
- ⚡ Fast & offline-capable — works even when your internet is down
Argus is built with a secure-by-default mindset:
- All access is role-based (admin, resident, guest, emergency)
- Actions are logged and non-repudiable
- Token-based guest sessions expire automatically
- No cloud dependency — your data stays in your home
- Audit history is tamper-resistant and stored locally
Argus does not promise to be unhackable — no system is. What it promises is transparency, control, and resilience.
