I’ll try submit to github later

On a separate note. How is the Pi4? Was the installation straight forward? I was going to upgrade myself.
its ridiculously fast in comparison!
had to do the manual install which was new to me, so took longer then it should do.
all working well now however 
will most likely move back to Hassio when that comes out, to make it easier
Sweet. Definitely going to pick one up, doesn’t look like there is much stock in Ireland at the moment. Did you get the 4gb model?
Yeah! Got it a few hours after release when stock was still good
Guys I just wired up my Konnected into my existing alarm panel and I see it on HA but I am having a problem, in the instructional video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcY0dYuBQCo&t=1908s) it says to dial the resistance dials all the way counter-clockwise if I have no resistors (which I don’t) but no matter where I turn the dial, it never registers a sensor being closed/open.
Any idea? Did this happen to anyone here?

Hey guys, just received my Konnected Interface and I managed to set up the Keyswitch arming (via the relay) and Monitoring state.
Having a UI that just shows me a switch to arm disarm the alarm is not great and ideally I would like to put a code in front of it for security reasons.
I was thinking of using the Manual Control Alarm Panel but that seems to be a full on state machine and I can’t see how to make this work (especially because the Konnected Interface only lets you “toggle” the arming state, not absolutely arm or disarm…
Has anyone done anything cool there?
Thanks
There could be resistors on the PIR side. Maybe try and move you potentiometers around and see if you can get anything?
I used an output of my alarm (to tell me arm status) as an input zone for my konnected interface board, but like yours it wouldn’t work, so I actually ended up adding a resistor and it then detected the zone changes.
So far I have the alarm status/arm status and arm/disarm working.
The zones are all responding now however they are actually so sensitive that they keep flashing on/off all the time (making their readings useless) and no matter how I set the potentiometer nothing helps. Could be due to the fact the alarm panel is pushing 18.5v on the 12v output, who knows. The konnected guys are baffled also.
As @Guillaume_Corgnet mentioned it would be nice to somehow lock down the arm/disarm button since I got a few in wall tablets that can toggle that on/off but don’t really want the intruder to just press a button to turn off alarm.
@sd_dracula I managed to get something basic working by manually pairing up my Konnected Arm/Disarm switch to a Manual Alarm Control Panel
I used Nodered automations as follows:
- When alarm_control_panel gets armed, if binary_sensor.konnected_armed_state is off, toggle switch.konnected_arm_switch
- When alarm_control_panel gets disarmed, if binary_sensor.konnected_armed_state is on, toggle switch.konnected_arm_switch
This lets you set up a code against the alarm_control_panel and expose that on your UI. My basic testing is telling me this is mostly working but I can see potential for things to get out of sync, although easily fixable by re-arming the alarm_control_panel, which would have no effect if the binary_sensor.konnected_armed_state is already on…
Hope that makes sense.
I am planning to try and roll out my own implementation of alarm_control_panel specific for Konnected Interface to provide a better solution but that’s time (and skills) allowing. Since what I have works right now, I am not in a rush. I’ll update here if I come up with something.
Funny, I actually did the same because my arm/disarm is a toggle switch and if someone disarms from the panel that still stays on so toggle it off when the arm status changes (same when arming from the keypad)
However I did notice this, armed via HA, went to sleep, the wifi dropped over night and when I woke up the alarm got disarmed, not great to flip those probably.
@Guillaume_Corgnet were you able to actually trigger the alarm from the manual alarm panel? or are you still toggling it off/on via the Konnected switch entity?
Yeah, I simply wired up some simple automations in Nodered as described in my post above. I had to add automation to cover the case where the alarm was armed/disarmed from the PIN pad, to ensure the alarm and the manual alarm_control_panel were kept in sync.
I haven’t got around to try and provide my own implementation of alarm_control_panel yet, if that’s what you are wondering.
Yeah just via automations, like I thought.
Pretty sure I’ve seen some “mini” version of the alarm panel somewhere that had the pin pad hidden until you click arm/disarm but can’t seem to find it anymore.
Hey
Ive just upgraded to a nw SW version 2.3.1 and now all my states just stay “on”
Eg motion for all rooms is “on” and doesn’t go off
Restart home assistant and it will re-sync within a few minutes.

yep, sorry, done and works
another question sorry
latest version here is 2.3.3 https://github.com/konnected-io/konnected-security/releases/tag/v2.3.3
however on the phone app, its only 2.3.1
should i manually flash to v2.3.3 - why doesnt that work via the app?
We need to publish an update to the app. The original Konnected app was hardcoded to update 2.3.1. Just ignore for now. An app update will be coming this month.
For Home Assistant, there’s no difference/advantage in upgrading to 2.3.3. The changes are only related to our upcoming (optional) cloud service connectivity.
