Would be nice to have multiple “channels” for the piezo out on the add-on panel. I.e on the 6 channel add-on board have more than 1 out, say 3, with unique parameters (beep duration and pause) for each. Today it is listed as “out” and you get only one. For example: set Piezo Out 1 as a single beep, channel 2 Out as a triple chirp and piezo 3 Out as a repeating multi-beep with delay. With this it could be used for various alert types. I use routines on my ST hub to create a repeating triple beep when my water sensors trigger. I use the same piezo triple beep without my repeat routine when my doors open. Would love to have other options like single beep and a built in repeat option (while command is on). Seems this could be done entirely with software and no change to the hardware!
This can be done with our new firmware platform (based on ESPHome) by choosing the Multi-output zone type. When you select Multi-output, you can then configure any number of output patterns, just like you described.
The only caveat is that the new ESPHome platform firmware on the 6-zone Alarm Panel and Add-on boards cannot connect to our cloud service to be used with SmartThings. Only the Alarm Panel Pro can use Konnected Cloud on the new firmware platform.
Impressive! Perhaps this could be expanded to support cloud and ST down the road? Or perhaps I need to leave the Samsung/Aeotec platform for home automation? Has been a very painful ride for many reasons. Sadly in my IT experience all options for a technology tent to be faced with similar challenges that only surface with time. Exception of course is Konnected. Have loved every Konnected product and experience to date!
Nate, if the 6 zone and add-on panels can’t use the cloud service then how do I configure my zones on the new firmware?
I’m on Hubitat and I successfully flashed to the new firmware and added the panel but am struggling to configure any zone outside of a contact sensor (piezo, motion sensor).
Use the Konnected app to configure the zones and device settings. You don’t need Konnected Cloud with Hubitat bc it’s local.
Gotcha. So then I think my problem is in the Konnected app. Nothing happens on any of my 3 panels when I press “Agree and Continue” on the “Let’s configure all the things!” screen.
Try de-registering and then re-register the device.
Thanks Nate, de-registering did the trick.
FYI I ran into issues getting my piezo to work but read about similar problems on the Hubitat forums. I know the latest driver was supposed to fix it but I had to paste in the suggested code from ogiewon:
Thanks again for your help and for making a product that hasn’t gone obsolete!
Make sure your konnected-button-trigger.groovy driver looks like this:
It should be automatically downloaded in the package that you install/update from HPM. Let me know if not.
