OpenBSD as house alarm system

FOSDEM 2018

since 1998 I've developed an alarm system based on the velleman K8000 kit. I've first build it with Linux (slackware), in 2010 I've moved to OpenBSD. I'll describe why OpenBSD is better matching my needs than Linux.

I'll present the need: IR captors, integration with SMS, web interface
what were the problem with linux
how I've setup OpenBSD with a read only file system
Why OpenBSD is perfectly matching those needs
future plans
