Connect any traditional wired alarm system to your home automation in-parallel, allowing you to keep your traditional alarm system installed and functioning normally while adding remote monitoring, control, and smart home integration.
This modular accessory works with the Konnected Alarm Panel or Konnected Alarm Panel Pro. A relay module and a ribbon cable are included with each Interface Module. The Interface Module connects to the Panel 2 (supports 1 Interface Module per board) or Panel Pro (supports 2 Interface Modules per board) via the ribbon cable and the expansion ports on both the boards and modules.
The Best of Both Worlds
The Konnected Alarm Panel INTERFACE module enables almost any brand of wired alarm system to integrate with popular home automation platforms in parallel. This modular accessory works with the Konnected Alarm Panel 2 or Konnected Alarm Panel Pro (will not work without being paired with a panel) to enable it to tap in to the wired zones on the traditional security panel, making them available for automation and monitoring in any of Konnected's supported smart home platforms. This enables you to keep the traditional alarm system functioning normally while adding smart home integration.
Make An Old Wired Alarm Smart
The Konnected Alarm Panel syncs wired sensors to a smart home platform so they can also be used for automation, like turning on lights when motion is detected or announcing when a door is open with a voice assistant. Now your wired alarm sensors can be part of your home automation routines.
Enhance any Brand of Wired Alarm
When combined with a relay module (included) to trigger via keyswitch and programmable outputs to read your system's current state, the Konnected Alarm Panel INTERFACE makes any old wired alarm system smart by enabling remote self-monitoring and control via a smart home platform. Now you can remotely arm/disarm your traditional wired alarm system, automate arming/disarming, and get notifications directly to your smart phone when the alarm is triggered. All this without any monthly fees!
-
Keep Your Keypads: Won't interfere with arming/disarming and programming via your existing keypads.
-
Works Side-by-Side: The traditional security system continues to work as usual, with the added benefit of monitoring all wired sensors in home automation.
-
Automate Arming & Disarming: Arm and disarm a wired alarm system remotely or automatically by combining it with a relay module and key-switch on the traditional panel.
- Monitor With Your Smartphone: A programmable output on the traditional alarm panel can tell your smart home platform when the alarm is triggered.

AustraliaKonnected Alarm Panel Interface Module
Everything with this unit worked as expected a great buy! :-)
United StatesUn stable Connection
Is hard to get connection with the card, maybe I lost my money. Because for alarm is super important to be stable. And the communication with the company ei bad. No phone
United StatesGreat product and customer Service
Board worked great. Need to fallow the website installation instructions. But once setup , it woks great.
United StatesYou Rock!
Hi Nate, The installation went well. I have a DSC Powerseries system which I need to preserve because the control panel is a lot easier to use and accessible than the smart phone interface besides I always know where it is.... I have yet to figure out how to use the relay to enable me to arm and disarm the system using smart things but I am confident I can figure it out. I would be nice to have a tutorial on the complete setup up using the Power series. The one on the web (not associated with you) is not very good and laborious to watch. Thanks for making a good idea better and so accessible! Your Rock!
CanadaInitial troubleshooting
I was please with the email correspondence with resolving my initial issues. I am also happy about the product, however it’s not the easiest to setup. There are a few videos to choose from but make it a bit confusing. Thanks Konnected!
United StatesCould not use
These are not for DIY guys. No proper instructions are on the website while ordering. The instructions leaflet with the product is not clear either. All I wanted was to use my existing alarm panel and make it smart. Someone told me about his interface module. So I purchased it. But could not use. While trying to install found out I needed Konnected alarm panel to use it.

We have software and hardware guides on our site at help.konnected.io. And you can always reach out to us at help@konnected.io for guidance. They do not work alone. You need a Pro or V2 board. We have kits available.
United KingdomAlarmtastic
Awesome! A must buy for any Hubitat user. I'm in the UK which is slow with smart homes. However, I'll be flying the Konnected flag.
United StatesIt works
Just got got it but it does what I want so far...
CanadaPoor Homebridge and Homekit support
Hard to set up in Homebridge and Homekit. Wiring diagram showing the connection to the other module is incorrect. The strip is shown upside down.
United StatesGreat Service
A nearby lightning strike damaged my first interface module and Konnected offered to replace it at no charge. The replacement took less than five minutes to install. It is an amazing product.
New ZealandAwesome addition to my home automation
This has been an awesome addition to my home automation platform (Home Assistant). Super easy to setup and get all of the existing sensors setup to be used for automations, and the ability to remotely monitor the alarm, was a bonus :-)
AustraliaNew Interface Module has it all
The quality of manufacture on these modules is high. Well made and compact. Adding the relay to this board instead of having that separate is a good move. My only complaint is that the adjustment potentiometers have been moved to behind the terminal strip and on my installation they are hard to see and adjust from the side where I have access. Otherwise it works well.
United StatesWorked as Intended
I ordered a Konnected Alarm Panel Starter Kit at the end of 2020. It arrived around the beginning of February. After spending hours trying to get this kit hooked up to my Ademco Vista 20P, I reached out to customer support. We ran through some diagnostics and found the interface module was not working correctly. They sent me a new one which arrived in late March. Once it was hooked up it worked great. Pros: Worked great allowing me to monitor the state of a few sensors, arming/disarming my alarm system via Smart Things and for monitoring the state of my alarm. Customer service was extremely helpful. Cons: Shipments took a long time to ship so don't expect these products until quickly. The defective interface module was also a bummer as it wasted a lot of time, but it was replaced at no charge to me. I would recommend.
United StatesSo far is becoming a nightmare
I believe that integrating this product could be a lot easier if there was a complete package and guide on all of the hardware that is require for at least 3-4 different implementations. The products should come with all of the necessary hardware. If someone is buying the Alarm Panel Interface Module, it should include the standoffs, jumper cables and at least suggest the relay module.
United StatesThis isn’t all you need
I explained to the support rep via chat that I wanted to turn my dumb alarm system into one I could control with my phone. I was told this interface is all I need. Well that’s not right. It says right on the instructions that the interface just connects your alarm panel to some of the other smart ones. So this just sits in a box until I decide to spend more money.
CanadaFailed board
Dear Nate, Item worked about 20 minutes until a surface chip got hot and finaly burned. So was my opinion about that product. I would like to get replacement board. Being an Electric Professional Engineer, I know sometime manufacturing process fails. Regards! Martin
