A project to add "smart" functionality with an ESP-32 into a thirty year old (1993) but fully functioning (and reliable) alarm system.

Looks interesting from a hobbiest perspective. Good to keep old kit that works still viable.
Might want to make sure you employ ‘watchdog timers’ if you haven’t already to mitigate ESP lockup :)

Plenty of commercially available solutions that allow you to do this. Personally I question why you would want to rely on a 30 year old alarm, its well beyond its serviceable life (even if it is still working). For the money and effort you would be much better offer replacing it with a modern alarm.
 
It cost me £18, the panel works just fine which was why I chose to upgrade rather replace it and I learnt how to program in c++. Oh and it was great fun.
