Hi there, I have just connected my Konnected board and have obviously been caught in the middle of a major change with the home assistant integration and hence I am having extreme difficulty setting up the board.
When can we expect updated documentation on how to set up and configure home assistant with Konnected ?
I have the board wired, connected to my router and discovered in home assistant but am now lost on whether and what to add to config.yaml etc. Help !!!
The card showed both sensors closed and when I opened one door both sensors showed open. Now I am confused !
@MikerBiker this thread has a lot of helpful info
With the latest updates you no longer need to use configuration.yaml. Everything can be configured through the UI.
You also want to ensure your konnected devices are running the latest firmware. If they aren’t - I suggest deleting any configured Konnected integrations thru the UI, updating the firmware, and then re-adding them using the process linked above.

So it appears I’m stuck in a boot loop since upgrading. How should I go about updating the firmware? thanks!
Upgrading was simple and worked for me, except for one area. I use the konnected interface board with Vista which uses specific and varying time delays in the momentary switches arm and disarm the system.
Until now, I’ve been able to create different software definitions of the switches inside homeassistant without having to dedicate a zone and a relay on the konnected board. See “out” switch in my konnected.yaml below.
access_token: !secret konnected_token
api_host: !secret konnected_api_host
devices:
- id: !secret konnected_Panel1_id
discovery: false
host: !secret konnected_Panel1_Host
port: !secret konnected_Panel1_Port
binary_sensors:
- zone: 1
type: light
name: 'Armed Red'
inverse: true
- zone: 2
type: door
name: 'Garage Entry'
- zone: 3
type: door
name: 'Sliding Door'
- zone: 4
type: motion
name: 'Foyer Motion'
- zone: 5
type: door
name: 'Front Entry'
- zone: 6
type: light
name: 'Ready Green'
inverse: true
switches:
- zone: out
name: 'Arm Home'
momentary: 3000
- zone: out
name: 'Arm Away'
momentary: 1000
- zone: out
name: 'Disarm'
momentary: 1000
It looks like I’ve lost that ability with the upgrade / GUI. Any option to allow this type of configuration with the GUI. I’ve tried to just continue using the yaml but causes issues.
@dave-parsons There is a known issue right in 0.106 with multiple entities on the same zone (i.e. different buzzer/beep patterns) that we are looking into how to address via the UI config. I recommend you stay on 0.105 for now if this is a critical feature for your setup.
Here’s a link to the issue if you want to keep tabs on it.
I have recently upgraded to 0.108 and noticed that the new functionality is available in that release. Thanks for making this feature available again!
Not directly related, but I am curious, should I see one integration with three devices or three integrations each with one device?
You’ll see one integration for each device
Got it, thanks!
