I would need multiple alarm panels (either 2 pro or 3 standard) for the number of sensors that I have (14). If my network is down, will Konnected continue to operation/communcate between panels? For example, if I have 6 sensors and a siren on board 1 and another 6 sensors on board 2, will the siren go off if one of the sensors on board 2 is tripped while the system is armed?
In other words, I am trying to understand if Konnected (in my setup) will be dependent on my network in order to properly operate as a standalone alarm system.
I currently have a Caddx system and was looking to swap out. Of course, this system has no dependencies other than 12V power either through the wall wart or backup battery. Not sure I would be confortable if Konnected went down with my network.
As long as you choose a local platform like Home Assistant or Hubitat, then Konnected and your smart home system will continue to work if your internet connection goes down as long as your local LAN is still functional. However, if your router dies or shuts down, then nothing will work.
If using a cloud platform like SmartThings, internet access is also required.
If I go with 1 pro board will that continue to operate … lets say if my router is down. I.e. if armed and a sensor is tripped it will still set off the alarm siren.
Yes, with the new Pro firmware platform and the Alarm Control Panel component enabled so that the alarm logic is run locally on the device, yes it will still work. This functionality is quite new and we haven’t added the configuration option to the Konnected app yet, but it is coming soon.
