Hello Following on from my projects thread here regarding my new house build in Germany, i’m currently trying to figure out exactly which alarm sensors I should get for our electrician to wire in and need some advice. I am planning to use Konnected to interface the alarm sensors with Smartthings b…

Konnected works great for new builds, and you never have to worry about batteries! Standard alarm sensors are pretty much standard worldwide, with some minor differences. In general, the door/window sensors don’t require power and will have 2 wires. If you want to send a pic of your sensors I’m hap…

Sorry Nate I forgot to tag you in my original post but thankfully JDRoberts did! Regarding the open/close contact sensors, I was on site yesterday so took a few photos of the sensors we have in our doors and windows: This is the sensor in one of the patio doors [20190212_164155] And these are th…

How did you get on with your setup Nick ? I’m looking to do similar but in the UK. I think I need to do more research I thought konnected attached to a existing alarm not a alarm panel itself. So if it’s a alarm did you have to buy the casing and a keypad. Thanks.

@Steveuk23 Konnected is effectively a replacement logic board that would be fitted internally in to an existing alarm system. The existing alarm system needs to use only wired sensors as Konnected does not support wireless sensors. Since you would therefore logically have an existing panel with ex…

Thanks John. We’ve not been in our house long and it hasn’t got any alarm at all right now so that’s why I’ve been looking into it. I’ve initially been looking at getting a Honeywell mini and wiring in the sensors to it and the keypad and then attaching konnected to it so I can use it through Smar…

@Steveuk23 The original Konnected product is designed to take over from the original logic board in an alarm panel. They have however more recently launched another alternative product which can work alongside the alarm panel. This second product can therefore allow you to still use the original ke…

As we are still in the process of building our house I haven’t got around to ordering any of the Konnected kit so I can’t comment on how well it works yet. I have however run all the low voltage cabling to everywhere I intend to attach alarm sensors as we are currently doing all the wall and ceiling…

Hi thanks for the explanation @Nick_Halliwell & @jelockwood . I will be doing similar to you by fitting wired sensors hopefully in spring as I’m having work done in the kitchen where I would want the alarm panel fitted. I’m not 100% sure I want konnected but now I know how it works I know I can de…

Hi I have an alarm system that has a faulty circuit for the PIR’s so they no longer operate, could I replace my alarm board with Konnected?

Or even interface with it and attach the PIR’s directly to Konnected so that if movement is detected it could then sound the alarm on my current alarm system?
