I just got to scare the crap out of some kids who were climbing around my construction site by triggering a 12v siren from Home Assistant, and watched the whole thing on the remote camera feed! It was oddly satisfying, and I hope they get the message not to come back.

  @aaronpk Is there an integration for laser sighted machine gun turrets yet? Preferably over zigbee...

  Frankly, this was extra satisfying to read about bc of tech angle.

  I don't know if I need to invite that kind of liability on myself, plus half the fun of it is wandering around without grownups around

  You should put a sign up telling kids not to come in, but inviting them to have their parents contact you for a tour when you're there. I mean, kids are curious. Give them an outlet.

  I'm of two minds about this, as a kid who screwed around construction sites 50 years ago. You did provide them with a story to tell. If you had a speaker that said, "Intruder alert. Killer robots activated," it would have been an awesome story.
