I tested this with an electrical socket reader and it chimed, so there is some power to it still. I’d like to remove this, the old keypad, a siren, etc.

Besides shutting off the power while doing it and maybe capping the cable ends, what do I need to think about? I’m just trying to make sure I don’t burn my house down 😅

    Your electrician eyes would be better than my non-electrician eyes…

    But is that home power wiring? That looks closer to thermostat wire to me in that picture. Colors are wrong though so…

    Edit: I for sure wouldn’t touch these though. You can probably use a meter across the 4 terminals without even having to disconnect anything. It might just be the kind of wiring that you use for a 3 way switch with the ground wire sheathed. What was the device?
