The api_host should be the address of Home Assistant doh! of course! Bytemonger, I really appreciate your help. I made the .yaml changes you suggested. And I rebooted the alarm modules. But, I do not yet see any mention of Konnected in the Overview in Home Assistant. However, I do see mention of the binary sensors noted in the “States” pane. Does this mean that Home Assistant is communicating with the boards? Or, is this just because I have listed in the configuration panel?
I still have not set up any .pem files.
The blue WiFi lights periodically flash about ten times every thirty seconds 3-4 times then go silent for another thirty seconds.
I do not recommend serving the SSL certificate via the http module. This usually doesn’t work with Konnected because the LetsEncrypt certificates that are most commonly used are strong and require relatively lots of memory/processing to negotiate. Often they are too much for the tiny processor on the ESP8266 to handle. At best you’ll get intermittent and slow state changes, at worst it won’t work at all.
Home Assistant Password?
I followed the steps in Nate’s help article above regarding setup of DuckDNS and Nginx. I found them very clear and helpful, thanks! I removed the http from my .yaml file. I was able to use the browser to direct to https://mydomain.duckdns.org and view the Home Assistant Browser Login.
Unfortunately, it will not accept the user name and password I believe to be true.
For user name I have tried the one listed under “Profile” in the local Home Assistant Instance
ie: “You are currently logged in as XXXX. You are an owner.” I have also tried “admin” without success.
For the password I am using the one I specified in the Hass.io --> Configurator --Config File
"username": "admin",
"password": "XXXXX",
Additionally, I generated an Name and access token and tried to use those to login to HA panel but to no bueno
I do not recall setting another password during the home assistant setup. Is there another I have forgotten? If so, is there a way to reset without remembering old password? Or, would I need to refresh the Micro SD card on the Pi with Home Assistant and start over?
TIA,
hotoru

Update: Well, I solved my problem of lost password. I went to Home Assistant browser panel at Hassio.local ( in which I was currently logged) -> Configuration -> Users. Then clicked + circle at bottom right and created a new user. Then used that user to log into the Web Portal.
Hi @heythisisnate and everyone, I am struggling with connecting my bell box it is a Risco Nova 6 and the wiring is confusing me a little. It is wired like the diagram below:
The sirens in the UK are a little bit different. They need a constant 12V supply and a switched negative to activate. Therefore:
Connect 0V and +12V on the bell box to the AUX- and AUX+ respectively on the Konnected panel.
Connect S- and STR- both to the ALARM- terminal on the Konnected panel.
If you wish to control the strobe and siren separately, you could use two Konnected Alarm panels and separate S- and STR-
Thanks, when I connect 0V and 12V on the bell box to AUX- and AUX+ and activate the siren then this interferes with the motion sensors I have powered from AUX- and AUX+?
There is definitely some interference occurring, the motion sensors start to indicate motion when there is no one in the room. Would some sort of resistor on the 0V and / or 12V bell lines in to the Konnected board help?
Hey all,
based in the UK, have some very old system: https://www.riscogroup.com/uk/products/product/3932
the wiring would seem to imply i have 7 sensors - however there were no instructions left, so i have no idea which sensor applies to what in the house (however i can work that out later easily).
at the moment, im only seeing sensors 1,4,5,6 in HA - im not sure why 2 and 3 dont show?
im also not getting ANY of the sensors pickup anything.
i have 4 motion sensors and 1 door sensor (thats what ive found so far, not sure what else there is).
im able to trigger all 4 motion sensors (which all flash red on movement) and i have the door open.
so logically, something should have shown up in HA - but everything is set to closed?
not sure if the “tamper” wires have anything to do with this and something i need to wire in?
whats also strange is that when i open the door or move around, the blue light flashes as if its receiving a signal to be sent
thoughts?

I’m in Ireland here so similar looking to mine. There were 2 pairs running to each sensor. 1 pair for tamper and 1 for sensor. I just removed the tamper and used the sensor only. It might be worth taking the cover off the sensor and checking what cable does what.
Konnected devices communicate with Home Assistant over your local LAN – there is no cloud component! For best performance we recommend allowing unsecured HTTP API traffic between Konnected devices and Home Assistant on your LAN. This means that you should not use the http integration to serve SSL/TLS certificates. Instead, use a proxy like Nginx or Caddy to serve SSL/TLS. Read more.
