Reuse the wired sensors and siren from an old or pre-wired alarm system installation and integrate them directly into Home Assistant. Visit the [Konnected.io website](https://konnected.io) for more information about the Konnected Alarm Panel board and compatible hardware. The component currently supports the following device types in Home Assistant: - Binary Sensor: Wired door and window sensors, motion detectors, glass-break detectors, leak sensors, smoke & CO detectors or any open/close switch. - Switch: Actuate a siren, strobe, buzzer or relay module. This component requires the [`discovery`](/components/discovery) component to be enabled. ### {% linkable_title Configuration %} A `konnected` section must be present in the `configuration.yaml` file that specifies the Konnected devices on the network and the sensors or actuators attached to them: ```yaml # Example configuration.yaml entry konnected: access_token: REPLACE_ME_WITH_A_RANDOM_STRING devices: - id: 438a388bcd53 binary_sensors: - zone: 1 type: door switches: - zone: out - id: 8bcd53438a38 binary_sensors: - pin: 2 type: door switches: - pin: 5 ``` {% configuration %} access_token: description: Any random string.

If omitted, this is defaulted to the value of `base_url` in the `http` component. If you've set `base_url` to an external hostname, then you'll want to set this value back to your _local_ IP address and port (e.g., `http://192.168.1.101:8123`). required: false type: url default: value of `base_url` devices: description: A list of Konnected devices that you have on your network. required: true type: list keys: id: description: The MAC address of the NodeMCU WiFi module with colons/punctuation removed, for example `68c63a8bcd53`. You can usually find the mac address in your router's client list. Or, check the home-assistant.log for log messages from automatically discovered devices. required: true type: string binary_sensors: description: A list of binary sensors connected to the device. See [Konnected Binary Sensor](/components/binary_sensor.konnected/) for configuration variables. required: false type: list keys: pin: description: The number corresponding to the _IO index_ of the labeled pin on the NodeMCU dev board.

Commonly needed for normally open wired smoke alarm circuits. required: false default: false switches: description: A list of actuators (on/off switches) connected to the device. See [Konnected Switch](/components/switch.konnected/) for configuration variables. required: false type: list keys: pin: description: The number corresponding to the _IO index_ of the labeled pin on the NodeMCU dev board. See the [NodeMCU GPIO documentation](https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/master/en/modules/gpio/) for more details. Valid values are 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8. required: exclusive zone: description: The number corresponding to the labeled zone on the [Konnected Alarm Panel](https://konnected.io) board or the word `out` to specify the dedicated ALARM/OUT terminal on the Konnected board. Valid values are `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, `5` and `out`. required: exclusive name: description: The name of the device used in the front end. required: false default: automatically generated activation: description: Either `low` or `high` to specify the state when the switch is turned on. default: high required: false momentary: description: Duration of the momentary pulse in milliseconds. To make a half-second momentary contact using a relay for a garage door opener, set this value to `500`. required: false pause: description: Time of the pause between pulses in milliseconds when also used with _momentary_ and _repeat_. To make a door chime "beep" with piezo buzzer, set this value to `55`, set _momentary_ to `65`, and _repeat_ to `3` or `4`. required: false repeat: description: Number of times to repeat a momentary pulse. Set to `-1` to make an infinite repeat. This is useful as an alarm or warning when used with a piezo buzzer. required: false host: type: string required: false description: Optionally specify the Konnected device's IP address or hostname to set up without discovery. port: type: integer required: false description: Optionally specify the port number for the Konnected API on the device. Note that the port is different on every device. See help.konnected.io to learn how to determine the port number. discovery: type: boolean required: false default: true description: Enable or disable discovery for this device. When `true`, the device will respond to discovery requests on your network. When `false`, the device will not respond to discovery requests, so it's important that you set reserved IP for the device and configure the _host_ and _port_ here. blink: type: boolean required: false default: true description: Blink the blue LED upon successful transmission of a state change. {% endconfiguration%} #### {% linkable_title Configuration Notes %} - Either **pin** or **zone** is required for each actuator or sensor. Do not use both in the same definition. - Pin `D8` or the `out` zone will only work when activation is set to high (the default). ### {% linkable_title Extended Configuration %} ```yaml # Example configuration.yaml entry konnected: access_token: REPLACE_ME_WITH_A_RANDOM_STRING devices: - id: 6001948bcd53 binary_sensors: - zone: 1 type: door name: 'Front Door' - zone: 2 type: smoke name: 'Bedroom Smoke Detector' inverse: true - zone: 3 type: motion name: 'Test Motion' switches: - zone: out name: siren - zone: 5 name: 'Beep Beep' momentary: 65 pause: 55 repeat: 4 - zone: 5 name: Warning momentary: 65 pause: 55 repeat: -1 - id: 5ccf7f438a38 binary_sensors: - pin: 1 type: motion name: 'Office Motion' - pin: 2 type: door name: 'Office Door' switches: - pin: 5 name: 'Garage Door' activation: low momentary: 500 - pin: 8 name: LED Light ``` ### {% linkable_title Pin Mapping %} Konnected runs on an ESP8266 board with the NodeMCU firmware. It is commonly used with the NodeMCU dev kit WiFi module and optionally Konnected's Alarm Panel hardware. The following table shows the pin mapping between the Konnected hardware labeled zones, the NodeMCU labeled pins and the ESP8266 GPIO pins. | Konnected Alarm Panel Zone | NodeMCU pin | IO Index | ESP8266 GPIO | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | D1 | 1 | GPIO5 | | 2 | D2 | 2 | GPIO4 | | 3 | D5 | 5 | GPIO14 | | 4 | D6 | 6 | GPIO12 | | 5 | D7 | 7 | GPIO13 | | 6 | RX | 9 | GPIO3 | | ALARM or OUT | D8 | 8 | GPIO15 | ### {% linkable_title Revision History %} #### 0.80 - Added ability to specify `host` and `port` to set up devices without relying on discovery. - Added `discovery` and `blink` config options to enable/disable these features. #### 0.79 - Added `inverse` configuration option for binary sensors. #### 0.77 - Added support for momentary and beep/blink switches. [[#15973](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/15973)] - Decouple entity initialization from discovery, enabling devices to recover faster after a Home Assistant reboot.
