Konnected Alarm Panel Pro 12-Zone Wired Alarm System Retrofit Kit - Make Any Wired Alarm System Smart - No Monthly Fees - Works with SmartThings, Home Assistant, Hubitat (12 Zone Conversion Kit)

I bought this alarm panel to replace my WIFI based security system, my bad neighbours were continuously blocking my WiFi, my alarm system was always reporting offline. This smart alarm panel operates exactly as advertised, it's very well thought out and very well constructed. It is easy to install, just follow the instructions. You can use it on it's own or you can integrate it into other software. I'm using it with Smart Things, I currently have Garage, patio and entrance doors wired to the panel, but going to add motion sensors and the Konnected garage door opener.

You could argue that you could make something similar with an ESP32 and some inexpensive components but this kit is good to go straight out the box. The custom PCB is nice quality. The terminals are firmly attached. You can power 12v components straight from the board itself. Having never worked with alarms previously u wasn’t sure what to expect but it was relatively simple to migrate across. Only modification required was to remove the EOL resistors from the PIR sensors. The existing cables had unused wires as well as tamper sensors which I plan on reusing to add some extra sensors in the future. Setting up in Home Assistant was a breeze. I used Alarmo which is a great piece of software. WiFi connection is OK so far. A couple of dropouts but nothing bad. Running a new network cable next week. The board would benefit from an IPEX connection for an external antenna. My only complaint is that there is little support for a physical wired keypad. I would have liked to reuse my existing terminal rather than rely on the phone. A few things I need to change in the panel but this is the current state.

The Konnected board is everything and more. This is honestly the best product I have purchased in a long while, and I am 100 percent satisfied with both the hardware and the overall experience. The setup was straightforward, the integration with my existing system worked flawlessly, and the performance has been rock solid. What really sets Konnected apart, though, is the support team. Their responsiveness, technical knowledge, and willingness to help made a huge difference and turned what could have been a complicated project into a smooth and enjoyable one. It is rare to find a product this well designed backed by a team that genuinely cares about customer success. Thank you for an outstanding product and excellent support. Keep up the great work.

The Konnected alarm panel pro works great. I'm using the SmartThings app to control the alarm system. Note: there is a quirk when setting up SmartThings ... to set an siren/alarm under 'Set Responses' , use the 'Turn on lights' icon. Tap the turn on lights icon and then a page will come up showing the siren. Select the siren and tap 'Done' at the top of the page .. and then tap 'Done' again on the next page. Konnected support help me with this issue.

This is a really nice product that worked exactly as I expected for a fully-local installation (no cloud dependency) and integration with Home Assistant. You can even customize your firmware using their app, so that any normally-open circuits appear correctly. Their tech support was very helpful.
