Maintaining Konnected Legacy - Community Effort

Smart Home Integrations Home Assistant

The Konnected integration is being deprecated in April 2026, pushing users toward migration to ESPHome. However, the current legacy setup has been running perfectly stable for years—why introduce complexity and risk when what we have works flawlessly?

I’ve set up the Konnected integration locally, replacing the official version seamlessly without any issues. It works perfectly in Home Assistant today. I’m maintaining this local copy and will keep it updated as needed.

I’m preserving the repository here as a backup—in case the official integration gets removed before you have time to migrate. It’s ready for anyone who needs it.

Why this approach?

  • The current setup is proven, stable, and requires zero maintenance

  • Migration is a lengthy, risky process with no immediate benefit

  • Preserving what works is more valuable than forced change

Thanks for doing this and I totally appreciate the sentiment!

The push to deprecate the legacy integration really came about when we officially joined the Works With Home Assistant program. As part of that we get a dedicated tile on the HA integrations page.

Since we already had a legacy integration there, the HA team wanted to deprecate it and ultimately remove it to prevent confusion going forward. Also since HA itself evolves rapidly, it’s a lot of effort to maintain older/legacy integrations that are no longer being actively developed.

It’s perfectly reasonable to want to stick with what’s working, and using a custom component is a great way to do that.

Thanks for being a long-time customer :heart:
