Hello.
I am trying to set up the alarm panel using an ESP32. I have installed using your page: Konnected Flash Tool - Install Konnected via Web Browser . So far, so good. The issue I have is that nothing is connected to the board (no sensor). Should not all sensors be in the same state? I now see some as on, some as off.
Zone 1 ON
Zone 10 OFF
Zone 11 OFF
Zone 12 OFF
Zone 2 OFF
Zone 3 ON
Zone 4 ON
Zone 5 ON
Zone 6 ON
Zone 7 ON
Zone 8 ON
Zone 9 OFF
I have already tried to check as many as I ca, and also found this page: Configuration Types - ESPHome - Smart Home Made Simple But I seem to be too stupid, to know ehere I can set this like:
pin:
number: $zone1XX
inverted: true
mode: INPUT_PULLUP
If I am correct, then this should change the shown input for the pins that are wrong? I plan to use the N/NC connection of DSC sensors. If I plug the sensor into zone 1, 3-8 it changes as it should. I have 8 sensors, and 7 are correct; one would be wrong.
Did you ever figure this out? I am trying to set up a pro as well. The last time I set it up was in 2018. Haven’t gone through this since then as we have moved several times since then. It seems much more difficult than it was back then, which is disappointing. I remember it being much easier to set up sensors and outputs much quicker. This new way seems to suck… For the life of me, I can’t find an easy way to invert a binary sensor or set a zone to be an output instead of a sensor. I seem to recall in the old firmware, you just selected it in the options.
You just use the Konnected app to customize the zones and firmware settings. Rebuild firmware, apply it to the device, and then the changes show up in HA.
Well, here is what I think happened… I went to update to the latest firmware for ESP Home. I had the micro-usb breaking off problem. After some research, I saw you could get it to update by just holding the connector in place, which I was actually able to do. Once that happened, the Konnected app still said it was in need of a manual firmware update and that is was unavailable or something along those lines. I just assumed it was no longer available in the Konnected app after the upgrade to ESP Home firmware. Since I was unable to find a way to modify the input/output status, I went ahead and “took control” through ESP Home in Home Assistant. I expected to find the entire yaml code ready for me to change/uncomment as I needed. But instead I found just a few references to the standard packages. I think I finally found the FULL yaml details I need to use to modify each zone as needed at konnected.io · GitHub. I have not had a chance to try it, but hope to have some time this weekend. I checked the Konnected app again after your message. Only then did I realize that the firmware update must have created a second board instance in the app. The original one I was using was no longer valid and the address had changed. I have since deleted the old instance, but I assume now that I have ESP Home “taking control”, the Konnected app is no longer usable to customize the inputs/outputs.
You can still revert to the Konnected app to customize the zones – the app just may not discover it automatically. Just hit the 3-dots menu and then Add ESPHome device manually then enter the IP address of the device already on your network.
Okay, I finally had some time to work on this again. Reverting back killed the board, but I think that was sort of my fault. I noticed after flashing that the ethernet version defaulted to board version 1.8+. I was able to reflash manually via USB (again somehow). I have the zones provisioned as needed and was able to redefine name/type in Home Assistant. So as long as you select the correct function (sensor, switch, momentary switch, etc.) you can repartition as needed inside HA. Thank you Nate.
