Konnected

The konnected integration lets you connect wired sensors and switches to a NodeMCU ESP8226 based device running the open source Konnected software. Reuse the wired sensors and siren from an old or pre-wired alarm system installation and integrate them directly into Home Assistant.

Visit the Konnected.io website for more information about the Konnected Alarm Panel board and compatible hardware.

The integration currently supports the following device types in Home Assistant:

• Binary Sensor: Wired door and window sensors, motion detectors, glass-break detectors, leak sensors, smoke & CO detectors or any open/close switch.
• Switch: Actuate a siren, strobe, buzzer or relay module.
• Sensor: Periodic measurements from DHT temperature/humidity sensors and DS18B20 temperature sensors.

This integration uses the discovery component, which must be enabled for device discovery to work. If you don’t want to use discovery, set the host and port for each device in the description.

Configuration

A konnected section must be present in the configuration.yaml file that specifies the Konnected devices on the network and the sensors or actuators attached to them:

# Example configuration.yaml entry
konnected:
  access_token: REPLACE_ME_WITH_A_RANDOM_STRING
  devices:
    - id: 438a388bcd53
      binary_sensors:
        - zone: 1
          type: door
      switches:
        - zone: out
    - id: 8bcd53438a38
      binary_sensors:
        - pin: 2
          type: door
      switches:
        - pin: 5

Configuration Notes

• Either pin or zone is required for each actuator or sensor. Do not use both in the same definition.
• Pin D8 or the out zone will only work when activation is set to high (the default).

Unique IDs and the Entity Registry

Beginning in Home Assistant release 0.90, unique IDs are generated for each sensor or switch entity. This enables end users to modify the entity names and entity IDs through the Home Assistant UI on the Entity Registry page (under Configuration).

Unique IDs are internally generated as follows:

Binary Sensors: {mac-address}-{zone-number}

Switches: {mac-address}-{unique-hash}*

DHT Sensors: {mac-address}-{pin-number}-{temperature|humidity}

DS18B20 Sensors: {sensor-serial-number}

* Switches are identified by a unique hash including the pin number, momentary, pause, and repeat values. If these values are modified, a new entity will be created and the old entity must be removed manually from the Entity Registry.

Pin Mapping

Konnected runs on an ESP8266 board with the NodeMCU firmware. It is commonly used with the NodeMCU dev kit WiFi module and optionally Konnected’s Alarm Panel hardware. The following table shows the pin mapping between the Konnected hardware labeled zones, the NodeMCU labeled pins and the ESP8266 GPIO pins.

Revision History

0.91

• Improved Unique ID generation for Konnected switches

0.90

• Added support for dht and ds18b20 temperature sensors
• Added Unique IDs

0.80

• Added ability to specify host and port to set up devices without relying on discovery.
• Added discovery and blink config options to enable/disable these features.

0.79

• Added inverse configuration option for binary sensors.

0.77

• Added support for momentary and beep/blink switches. [#15973]
• Decouple entity initialization from discovery, enabling devices to recover faster after a Home Assistant reboot. [#16146]
• Breaking change: Device id in configuration.yaml must now be the full 12-character device MAC address. Previously, omitting the first 6 characters was allowed.

0.72

• Adds api_host configuration option [#14896]

0.70

• Initial release

Binary Sensor

The konnected binary sensor allows you to monitor wired door sensors, window sensors, motion sensors, smoke detectors, CO detectors, glass-break sensors, water leak sensors or any other simple wired open/close circuit attached to a NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi module running the open source Konnected software.

This integration supports all of the built-in device classes of the generic Binary Sensor component.

Switch

The konnected switch platform allows you to actuate an alarm system siren, strobe light, buzzer or any other wired device using a Konnected Alarm Panel board or relay module and a NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi module running the open source Konnected software.
