Hi all,

I set up the HA with Konnected as a standalone alarm system but I’m confused by all the things I had to install.

  1. Installed ESPHome Addon - then removed it because apparently its not needed.
  2. Installed ESPHome Integration - This looks like it allows the konnected to talk to HA
  3. Installed Alarmo Custom Integration under Settings->Integrations. Not sure what this does because it appears redundant with #4?
  4. Installed Alarmo Integration under HACS. → Not sure if this is redundant with #3?
  5. Installed Alarmo Card under HACS. - This is the card, I understand this.

First question - how do I change the piezo buzzer to have an intermittent sound instead of a steady tone? Online it looks like you have to configure that by adding “Konnected.io” integration to HA. HA sees the buzzer as a “light” and I need to change it to a “switch” but apparently I need this integration to change that? I also read you can download the konnected.io app and make configuration changes. But both of these options look like it’s going to take over the system and run konnected as the alarm system instead of HA. What am I missing here?

Thanks all!
