Is it possible to hack wireless alarm items (PIR, Door/Window Contacts, Smoke Alarm (Made by Yale)) so that the PI / Arduino can detect activation wirelessly and alert/log via a webpage

The Sp12e dev kit could be added to the Yale motherboard and the results wirelessly sent to a site like www.thingsspeak.com. This would be configured to update at your preferred rate. You would have to interface the module onto the reed relay on the door where it interfaces in the Yale motherboard, this will be or should be marked as a zone. You will get a NC signal (Normally closed) or NO (normally open) from the reed relay on the doors or same from the PIR / smokes (if the smokes are stand alone you could still integrate these in the sp12e. I would start with a project I know that works and tweak it to my needs. You will run the risk of activating the alarm or door chime (if you have it set to chime when not on gaurd mode) when it fires up for data collection, its doubtful but may cause problems. When setting it up make sure to firstly disconnect your bell and instead wire a meter up to the bell output so you will see if you are tripping it or not. See my blog on the module mentioned for tutorials and links. I would be happy to work on this with you, please supply the Yale model you have so I can look at the board and see. To have this alert you would be another issue, you could possibly integrate this into an App be it android or OSX but I am not too well versed on that although I don't think its groundbreaking as there are projects similar on this site that could be tweaked to suit your needs.
Anything is possible
