AWESOME PRODUCT, AWESOME SERVICE!!!!!!! Very rare to say these things in today's business world however every question I have asked I got a reply and I was promptly helped out with an order stuff up of my own making! Can not thank the team at Konnected for all your help and support even down under in Australia! Installed the Alarm Pro myself and it was a breeze having watched the youtube guides. The software was a little fiddly but not too difficult to figure out and it works great. Thanks Nate and the Team!
I bought this alarm pro panel weeks ago and have been putting off the install. Thanks Nate for doing this video. I feel confident in installing it now. Can't wait to see the tablet video that will replace the keypads with a tablet. Great job Nate. I'd love to see the Konnected products integrate with Brillant Switches. They have a small screen that could serve as the screen to see open and closed windows and doors.
You can check out our support documentation for smoke and CO detectors here - support.konnected.io/smoke-carbon-monoxide-detectors-pro-conv You can implement a 4/5G failover modem if you're concerned about internet outages.
Well you've almost sold me on the conversion/interface kit. Just a couple of queries, Do you know if the Interface Kit will work with the Ademco Vista-12A, Including the option to alarm and disarm via both App and Panel ? Alternatively I could go with the conversion kit and use the smart things app all the way, however by pressing a tile on the app it's just arm/dis-arm, Is there a prompt for a Pin Code ?
@munt3d Thanks for your interest! Regarding the Interface Kit, we can’t guarantee how it will work with specific features of your Ademco Vista-12A (like arming/disarming from both the app and panel). You’d need to consult the programming manual for your existing system to see if it supports those functions when wired in parallel with Konnected. The Conversion Kit would definitely be the easier option. You could control everything from your phone or a wall-mounted tablet. If you go this route and want a PIN code for arming/disarming, Home Assistant has a native option for that. It's also possible with SmartThings using 3rd-party software like SharpTools. Let us know if you have more questions!
I love the way that the end of line resistors are at the wrong end of the line. Supposed to be at the end of the line that's why they called end of line.
Yup. Sad to say that 9 out of 10 times this is where they are installed by the so-called "professional installers". This system was originally installed by a local licensed security company. Lol! Konnected doesn't use the EOL resistors, so we don't feel bad about removing them. Most of the time they're not providing any value anyway!
End of line resistors are used for lightening protection since a lightening strike would weld a door or window switch closed. The EOL resistor prevents a high current to prevent lightening strikes in welding connects. Now a bigger problem or even lazier is when the EOL resistor is programmed out so there’s non and many switches weld together. Causing a zone trouble.
lost not distract others, lets focus on the product, those days of nit picking or correcting others are done, This is not a place for debating., Your probably in the wrong UA-cam channel, the entertainment is on a different channel. this is the technical category
@@disneyjoe7 haha! end of line resistors are for lightning protection. Very funny. I think if lightning struck your door or window you'll have a lot more to worry about than welding your contacts together.
@davidp7615 If you're using our Conversion Kit, you do lose the traditional keypad functionality, and everything would be controlled through your smartphone or tablet. However, we also offer an Interface Kit that wires in parallel with your existing alarm system, allowing you to keep your keypads. This setup is more complex, though-it requires your existing system’s installer programming code and the ability to program 2 programmable outputs and 1 keyswitch input. So if you're comfortable with that, the Interface Kit lets you keep the keypads. If not, the smartphone or tablet option with the Conversion Kit is much simpler. Let us know if you need more details!
Internet is not required (but a local network is) if you are using a local hub like Home Assistant or Hubitat. Our cloud service is optional and only needed if you choose to use a cloud-based platform integration like SmartThings or Alexa.
I have a Honeywell Galaxy 16 plus CP171 with 2 sirens, 2 door switches and 6 IR sensors, will the Alarm Panel pro work out for me? I am not looking into using the old alarm panel, but convert rather than interface with the old one. Regards / Daniel
This defeats the purpose of the owner being the sole notifier or receiver , anyways, you can have the system send a call by sim card, as to a frequency radio transmission , Alarm monitor companies wil want their list of approved alarm equipment like ATT, DSC, Chubb, GE, Edwards, Etc.. This would defeat the purpose of doing what this system is designed for, NOT HAVING A MONTHLY FEE. Im curious are you the Competitor, Thread hijacker ? or just plan ignorant Dean?
we have a partnership with Noonlight for professional central station monitoring via IP, with no additional hardware needed! Check it out at konnected.io/pages/noonlight-professional-monitoring
with the Conversion Kit, no. If that is important to you, though, you can check out our Interface Kits, which wire in-parallel and allow your old traditional system to continue working as normal, including the keypads.
hello, i am planning to buy two pro boards to replace my 20 years old tecnoalarm and add new functionalities, but I have some questions: 1. does it needs home assistant (to be armed/disarmed for intrusion detection etc) or can it run indipendently? If i have a blackout, HA is down, etc 2. If i install 2 or more pro boards there is a way to sync them or do i have to control them separately? because on the channel there are no specific video about that. 3. I saw all the videos but are very old. In meantime is something changed about the costs? I mean, is still free or to use it, i have to register somewhere and pay some fees? 4. does the pro board has some output? I would like to attach an opto isolated relay to example, open a gate, etc 5. do you ship to Italy?
Hey there! Great questions-let’s get you some answers: Does Konnected Pro need Home Assistant (or another smart home platform) to work for arming/disarming? Yes, you’ll need at least one of our supported smart home platforms (like Home Assistant, SmartThings, or Hubitat) to fully control and monitor your system. Konnected itself doesn’t have a built-in way to arm/disarm without a smart home app. If power or internet outages are a concern, we recommend using a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for backup power and a failover cellular modem to keep things running smoothly. Can multiple Pro boards sync together? Each Pro board operates independently, but you can manage multiple boards within your smart home platform (Home Assistant, SmartThings, etc.). They don’t "sync" directly with each other, but automatically work as a single system with 24 zones. The boards are not entities, each input/output is. Any changes to costs? Is it still free to use? Yes! There are no mandatory subscriptions or fees to use Konnected. Just buy the hardware, connect it to your smart home platform, and you’re good to go. Some third-party platforms (like Home Assistant) have optional premium features, but Konnected paired with SmartThings remains completely free. Does the Pro board have outputs? Yep! The Pro board includes relay-compatible outputs, so you can connect an opto-isolated relay to trigger things like opening a gate, activating a siren, or controlling other devices. Do we ship to Italy? Absolutely! We ship worldwide, including Italy. Shipping rates and delivery times vary, so check out konnected.io for more details. If you have any more questions, feel free to email us at support@konnected.io-we’re happy to help! 🚀
None, doesn’t support that. Cheap non-UL product. Has caught in fire for one user. I recommend EyezOn for your application. Works with DSC and Honeywell. Has all the features this has, but allows you to keep your entire current system.
@@Konnected-io I have to say, I'm super impressed with level of responsiveness from your company. Between my setup issues I emailed about and received multiple responses on NYE that fixed my issues, to how quicky you responded to a comment on youtube. You guys have a very very happy customer. Thanks again.
We are accepting applications for our Matter Early Access Program (beta), which will allow direct HomeKit integration. You can apply here - share.hsforms.com/1RrMQPKEhQyqTSjTv8oGS9Adff38
In some cases, yes, but not all. Please see our detailed guidance here: help.konnected.io/support/solutions/articles/32000022629-smoke-carbon-monoxide-detectors
Fire Alarm and fire devices of any kind are propitiatory systems and its against most building codes and building insurance to have them connected to anything other than a Fire System. You can have a listener that would bypass the building code.
Seems like a bit of a drawback that there is no keypad support. My old wired system will function perfectly if the power goes out. This one would only be useful/accessible so long as the home network is also set up with a UPS
no one uses keyboard, your getting old. you can buy a wireless key pad if thats what you want. no one uses those anymore, its all about Bluetooth BLE4.7/wifi6/Alexa integration . Hard wire pinpad is the thing of the past, if thats what you want, get a Ring alarm, it now has wired system retrofit box. This stuff might be something having your Telephone company to connect this for you as all internet , tv provider offers free install
@@filipino_GMA It's called a keypad, not a keyboard. Keypads have displays, the equivalent of screens or monitors, and all professional-grade alarm controls have them; and yes, Users still use them, along with fobs and whatever other interface a system might use, including Smart Phones. Trying to use a system without a keypad (KP) is nothing new. Back in the early 90s, ITI introduced the Caretaker Panel that interfaced with the local phone system, and any touch-tone phone could be used, on premises or off. But we still strongly recommended that the User have at least one KP for the event of phone line failure. Phones were very reliable by the 90s, but they could occasionally go out of service (far less often than internet access in most places), and customers who saved themselves the expense of a KP found themselves with no way to Disarm (or Arm) their system during momentary internet failures. Thing is, a viable alarm system needs to be designed to work 24/7/365. I'm not going to assert that "your" too young, but you're inexperienced.
It’s really nice to have a UPS on your modem and router anyway. You can hardwire an inexpensive Amazon fire tablet for the keypad. Power it using the old keypad wires.
Hello! Cool stuff! Is it possible to use the Konnected Alarm Panel Pro in other countries? For example in Russia. Will the sensor response time increase due to the long distance to your server? Please send me a link to the information about which sensors are suitable for the Konnected Alarm Panel Pro. Can I buy a panel Konnected while in Russia? Do you do shipping? Thank you!
Yes, we sell and ship worldwide! The product works in all countries. If you're using one of our local platforms (like Home Assistant) then the communication is 100% local and doesn't rely on any servers at all. If you choose to use Konnected Cloud with SmartThings or Alexa, then it will be contacting AWS servers in Europe/Ireland for your region. The response time will still be very fast. You can use any generic reed switch (aka open/close) wired sensors.
The Konnected company offered me the Alarm Panel Pro for $79. When I wanted to buy it, the price was increased to $229. Konnected then blamed the error on the AI bot. Poor service or dishonest sales strategy.
There are variations of the Alarm Panel Pro, one of which was &79 (a defect board with limited functionality)... Prices are on the product pages. Nobody intentionally mislead you.

Great video. I appreciate the easy-to-follow instructions.
This seems like an awsome system. Is there a way to also connect a backup connection in case the internet or switch is down?
You can get a 4G/5G failover modem

Hello,
Can we ad a camera and a keybord ?
End-of-line resistors are supposed to be installed at the device end and not in the Alarm control panel.
1. Yes, I agree with you. 2. That is my main concern… will I need to remove end of line resistors from every single window in my house?
