Is it possible to integrate wireless door contacts that are already monitored by smartthings into the door chime and other monitoring features?
What was the solution here as I have the same after trying to upgrade by DIY board.
I removed all apps, removed device handlers, removed devices
Installed all new ones from github and I am unable to discover the module from the app (can get to webpage so it is up and running)
For anyone else, almost as soon as I posted this I noticed I’d missed the oAuth bit of the config. This resolved the issue
When I connect my Garage door opener to the NC and COM of the relay, it works through the App but wall switch stops working. Maybe the wall switch is wired differently, do I need to connect NO and COM on relay, don’t want to fry anything.
For the garage door opener you want to use NO and COM.
Thanks Nate
Also how to change unit of temperature to C for Temp and humidity sensor, mine shows in F.
Do I just change it in the device handler code? I
Is the 12v to 5v USB converter on the Konnected website suitable to power the Konnected board?
I don’t have an AC plug for 5v adapter near alarm panel, so I thought I could use 12v to 5v usb converter to convert alarm system 12v to 5v USB for the Konnected board.
The official Konnected boards accept 12vdc as a supply voltage. You do not need to use the microUSB connector on the NodeMCU board. The base board supplies the correct power when you use the round barrel connector to power the system.

It would be amazing if we could use these boards to connect Ethernet and power the whole lot via PoE…
Many of you have asked about professional monitoring options when using Konnected. I’m proud to announce that I’ve teamed up with Noonlight to offer a better and lower cost alternative to existing 24/7 3rd-party pro monitoring options in the ST ecosystem. The key value here is that Noonlight can respond to security and smoke alarms, works with any ST compatible devices, and is half the cost of other options. See the following release:

I already have a 12 zone system up and running. I’m looking to add control for my 2 garage doors, 3 contact sensor and 1 motion sensor. The garage isn’t very close to the existing system. Would it be better to install my 3rd board in the garage or close to the existing system? If Garage is the answer would I use an add-on or alarm board?
I would install it in the garage. Use either an Add-on board or DIY kit. Honestly the DIY kit gives you more flexibility for multiple relays. You can also do it with an add-on board as that’s what the 5v out pin is for.
Great, thanks!
I bought the 12v to 5v converter on your site to run my Fire 10. I didn’t realize my old alarm PS was 16.5v, safe to use or should I buy a 12v PS.
NOT safe to use. The transformer from your old alarm system is 16.5V AC. It will certainly fry any DC device that you connect to it.
That is what I thought. Thanks for the great support!
Agreed. My wife is mostly intolerant of my geeking up the house. I too need 100% solutions. Smart Home Monitor is lacking in several areas. So the search for a more robust solution to home security continues.
My NodeMCU died. I’ve replaced it, but I’m unable to locate the detailed instructions on how to roll your own. Would you be able to point me in the right direction?
Does this help? If you bought from Konnected, it would already have this, but if you bought the NodeMCU from another party, I’m guessing this is what you are asking for. It covers flashing the firmware/filesystem software. From that point, you’d treat it like a brand new board.
What I don’t know (and would like to) is whether there is an easy way to replace a Konnected board in a SmartThings configuration without having to remove everything and adding it back.
