Do you all know of any wired burglar systems (including panel, motion sensor, and door sensor) that is compatible with Homekit? I'm having trouble finding one.

Thank you in advanced.

Honeywell has a HomeKit compatible panel. A friend of mine had his Lyric panel updated (via software) to a HK compatible unit. He can even see the status of his old window sensors thru Home. I'm assuming thru the Lyric (pretty sure it's Lyric) panel acting as a hub - much like Lutron has a hub.

He really likes it - says it works well. I believe it uses all wireless sensors. If I can get the model number I'll send it to you.

Addendum: You did say wired. The Honeywell panel has an add-on board that allows wired sensors to be brought into the system. I think it's limited to nine zones. You could check with an alarm installer.
