As an “only one foot in” smart home user, I’m looking at the Konnected interface kit to smarten up our existing dumb alarm (which works well and robustly) - the main reason for the alarm to continue to work without HA or WiFi while allowing users to arm it classically (on that note I see that Konnected replacement now has an offline mode - congrats!).
The list of smart requirements are as follows, and I’d like to check how much of this the interface system provides (some are obvious, and others can be worked around):
Sensors:
- alarm status
- specific zone tripped
- specific PIR tripped
- alarm triggered
Actions:
- set/unset alarm
- trip alarm (eg panic)
- trip existing zone (eg to add further sensors to a zone)
The existing alarm does have a key switch, and the engineering code is available to set this up. But some of the the others I can’t quite figure out.
Also am I correct in that if the above can be done then only 4 zones remain in the initial board?
