Not sure that your goals are different, but unfortunately the reality of the situation is that most home alarm systems were/are built as a closed propriatary solution. Some in recent years have allowed Zigbee devices (may also be some ZWave but I haven’t seen them) to be added to their control panel/hub, so it is possible that those devices may be able to be repurposed, but they are few and far between.
