3. Setup

3.1. Wiring Your Sensors

The Konnected Alarm Panel Pro is designed to connect to your existing wired sensors. Before disconnecting any wires from your old alarm panel, it is crucial to label each wire clearly to ensure correct re-connection to the Konnected board. Each sensor typically has two wires. Group one wire from each sensor as the common ground (GND) and label the other wire with its specific zone (e.g., 'Dining Room Window').

3.2. Network Connection and Power

The Konnected Alarm Panel Pro offers flexible connectivity options:

• Wi-Fi: Connect wirelessly using the provided 12V power adapter.
• Ethernet: For a stable wired connection, use an Ethernet cable with the 12V power adapter.
• Power over Ethernet (PoE): If your network infrastructure supports PoE, you can power the board and provide network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for the 12V power adapter.

Ensure the board is securely mounted using the provided standoffs to prevent short circuits from contact with metal surfaces.

3.3. App Configuration

Download the Konnected Smart Home app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your Konnected device to your home network. If using Wi-Fi, you will enter your network's SSID and password. If using Ethernet, the board will automatically obtain an IP address from your router.

Once connected, register your device to the Konnected Cloud. This links your device to the Konnected service and enables integration with smart home platforms. You will then use the app to define and name each of your 12 zones (e.g., 'Dining Room Window', 'Guest Bedroom Motion').

4. Operating

After successful setup, your Konnected Alarm Panel Pro allows you to monitor and control your wired sensors through your chosen smart home platform (e.g., SmartThings, Alexa, Home Assistant). Notifications about unusual activity, such as an opened window or detected motion, will be sent directly to your smartphone or tablet.

4.1. Smart Home Integration

Integrate your Konnected device with your preferred smart home platform. This enables you to:

• Arm and disarm your security system remotely.
• Receive instant alerts and notifications.
• Create custom automations and routines based on sensor activity.

4.2. Custom Automations

Leverage your smart home platform to create personalized automations. For example:

• Set up your smart lights to turn on when a door opens.
• Adjust your smart thermostat when a window is left open.
• Trigger a siren or send a notification if a motion sensor detects activity while the system is armed.

The Konnected Alarm Panel Pro is designed for low maintenance. Regular maintenance typically involves:

• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the Konnected app or website for firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.
• Sensor Checks: Occasionally test your wired sensors to confirm they are functioning correctly and communicating with the Konnected board.
• Power Supply: Ensure the power adapter or PoE connection is secure and providing consistent power to the device.
• Cleaning: Keep the Konnected board and its connections free from dust and debris. Disconnect power before cleaning.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Konnected Alarm Panel Pro, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Offline: Check your internet connection (Wi-Fi or Ethernet). Ensure the power supply is connected and functioning. Reboot your router and the Konnected board.
• Sensor Not Responding: Verify the wiring for the specific sensor. Ensure the sensor is correctly configured in the Konnected app and your smart home platform.
• Notifications Not Received: Check your smart home app's notification settings and your phone's notification permissions. Ensure the Konnected Cloud integration is active.
• Unexpected Behavior: Perform a factory reset of the Konnected board (refer to the Konnected website for specific instructions) and reconfigure it.
