Konnected

The konnected component 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 component 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.

This component requires the discovery component to be enabled.

Configuration

A konnected section must be present in the configuration.yml 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: 8bcd53
      binary_sensors:
        - zone: 1
          type: door
      switches:
        - zone: out
    - id: 438a38
      binary_sensors:
        - pin: 2
          type: door
      switches:
        - pin: 5

Configuration Variables

access_token

(string)(Required)Any random string. This is used to ensure that only those devices which you have configured can authenticate to Home Assistant to change a device state.

api_host

(url)(Optional)Override the IP address/host (and port number) of Home Assistant that the Konnected device(s) will use to communicate sensor state updates. If omitted, this is defaulted to the value of base_url in the http component. If you’ve set base_url to an external hostname, then you’ll want to set this value back to your local IP address and port (e.g. http://192.168.1.101:8123).

Default value: value of base_url

devices

(list)(Required)A list of Konnected devices that you have on your network.

id

(string)(Required)The MAC address of the WiFi module with colons/punctuation removed. You can either use the full 12-character MAC address or only the last 6 characters. This is visible in the device’s WiFi SSID and hostname.

binary_sensors

(list)(Optional)A list of binary sensors connected to the device. See Konnected Binary Sensor for configuration variables.

pin

(Exclusive)The number corresponding to the IO index of the labeled pin on the NodeMCU dev board. See the NodeMCU GPIO documentation for more details. Valid values are 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 9.

zone

(Exclusive)The number corresponding to the labeled zone on the Konnected Alarm Panel board. Valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6.

type

(Required)Any binary sensor class, typically door, window, motion or smoke.

name

(Optional)The name of the device used in the front end.

Default value: automatically generated

switches

(list)(Optional)A list of actuators (on/off switches) connected to the device. See Konnected Switch for configuration variables.

pin

(Exclusive)The number corresponding to the IO index of the labeled pin on the NodeMCU dev board. See the NodeMCU GPIO documentation for more details. Valid values are 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

zone

(Exclusive)The number corresponding to the labeled zone on the Konnected Alarm Panel board or the word out to specify the dedicated ALARM/OUT terminal on the Konnected board. Valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and out.

name

(Optional)The name of the device used in the front end.

Default value: automatically generated

activation

(Optional)Either “low” or “high” to specify the state when the switch is turned on.

Default value: high

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).

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.

Konnected Alarm Panel Zone	NodeMCU pin	IO Index	ESP8266 GPIO
1	D1	1	GPIO5
2	D2	2	GPIO4
3	D5	5	GPIO14
4	D6	6	GPIO12
5	D7	7	GPIO13
6	RX	9	GPIO3
ALARM or OUT	D8	8	GPIO15
