Not into DIY’s? We’ve got you covered with our network of dealers!
How The Alarm Panel Pro Conversion Kit Works
The Konnected Alarm Panel Pro replaces a traditional wired alarm system through your existing wired alarm sensors in five easy steps.
If you wish to fit it into your newly pre-wired home, skip Step 2.
Choose the Alarm Panel Pro Conversion Kit If You:
- Need Ethernet connectivity and/or PoE because your home is pre-wired for Ethernet
- Want to have 12 zones and 2 siren/strobe outputs per panel
- Don’t want to pay any monthly fees and switch fully to app-based self-monitoring
- Don’t want to use the original alarm system anymoreWant the ability to replace original keypads with touch-screen tablets
- Have a pre-wired home without any alarm system installed yet
Reasons to Love Konnected for App-Based Home Monitoring
- Works with leading smart home platforms and voice assistants
- Infinitely expandable by adding any of our alarm panels
- No required monthly fees or subscriptions
- Real-time notifications so you can monitor your home from anywhere
- Automatically arms/disarms your home
- Uses your pre-existing wired sensors and siren
- Create smart home routines and automations
How Many Zones Do I Need?
A good rule of thumb is that smaller homes usually require less coverage. But don’t worry, there’s an easy way to learn how many zones you need.
If your home has a pre-existing traditional alarm system, the zones are most likely listed by the keypad or inside of the alarm system box (the one with all the wires). Count them and voila - you’re ready to select the right Konnected panel!
Not sure how many zones you need for your new pre-wired home? The industry standard is grouping your windows together - each floor or cardinal direction is one zone. We also recommend that you keep each door and motion sensor as separate zones to ensure the most precise monitoring possible!

Looking to Replace Your Old Keypad?
You can upgrade the look and function of your home by replacing your old alarm system keypads with wall-mounted tablets after you've converted your wired alarm system. Wall-mounted Amazon Fire tablets are a beautiful and inexpensive way to create a DIY smart home dashboard.
Run power to the tablet using your alarm system's pre-existing keypad wiring and our 12V to 5V USB adapter and 3D printed tablet frames.
Prefer to keep the traditional keypads? Shop our Interface Kit that allows parallel connection with your existing system.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A zone in the context of alarm systems refers to a sensor or a group of sensors. Each zone in your system will show up in your smart home app as an individual device that you can name. For example, a single door sensor wired to a zone may be named "Front Door". You may also have a group of windows wired together on one zone and call it "Downstairs Windows". A good place to start is by looking at your existing alarm system and count the number of zones. Often the keypad from your old system will have a zone listing either handwritten on a label, or programmed into the display.
Conversion kits work as a replacement to your traditional alarm panel or an addition to your new-pre wired home. Interface kits allow you to keep the traditional alarm panel and add smart home functionality to it.
If you'd like to keep using your existing keypad, make sure to purchase one of our Interface Kits (instead of the Conversion Kit). Interface Kits allow you to keep the functionality of your traditional keypad, while adding the all-new smart home possibilities controlled from your phone, tablet or computer. If you want to stop using your keypad and monitor your home only with smart home platforms, choose any of the Conversion Kits. No matter your requirements, Konnected has a solution for you.

Amazing product, amazing company
The product is absolutely incredible, works like a dream and was so easy to setup and get working. When we did have issues, the team jumped on and helped get them resolved straight away. Very happy with the product and service! Will definitely be back in the future.
Great product
It was very easy to get the Alarm Panels set up and working. I am now trying to find examples on how to set up "Away", "Home" and "Night" functions on the wall tablets in a kiosk mode. Also, how to disable individual zones from the tablets, like temporarily opening an alarmed window. Very happy with the product. Will probably expand from 4 to 6 Alarm Panels over the Winter. /los
Works great with Home Assistant!
I ran this device off of POE+, then I added 12v to add more alarm sounders. Now I'm thinking about expansion panels and what else I can do. I control it all through thehome assistant via the Alarmo device and wrote all my own scripts for actions that needed to happen during an alarm and such. It's been fantastic these last 2 months!
Very good until the ethernet quit on my Alarm Panel Pro.
I have owned this for 2 1/2 years. I appreciate being able to monitor and use my system using Home Assistant. However, my Ethernet port totally died (no lights). With the one year warranty the best they can offer me is a 10% discount on a new one. This is disappointing.
Just what I needed!
Great kit to improve upon a traditional alarm. I tried the Ring conversion alarm, but it couldn’t use motion or glass break sensors. The Konnected Pro conversion kit and Home Assistant combine to provide what I needed to customize and alarm system using my current wiring. Alarm wiring is very straightforward. A little learning curve with Home Assistant, but not bad if you’re tech savvy.
Another broken Pro
I’m on my third Pro now. These things keep dying right after a year… garbage manufacturing.
Works very nicely with Hubitat
Linking this to my Hubitat via my network using the ethernet cable was easy. Did not try connecting the WiFi - the whole purpose of this device for me is to use more wired connections in my house for better reliability. The inputs for open/closed contacts and TTL outputs are working fine. Output also works well. Connections are easy to use and instructions are reasonably straight-forward. Only two suggestions for improvements. It would be nice if the board dimensions and hole spacings were available somewhere. I asked support for this info and they said that info is not available. Kind-a crazy if you ask me. I'm 3D printing a box and so knowing the actual dimensions would be helpful. Second thing is really minor. It would be nice if their were more ports for the 12V output. I added a distribution block to manage this. I suppose more voltage output connections would increase the board size and costs so a separate distribution block is also a reasonable solution. Overall I'm very happy with it so far.
Dependable and Easy to Setup
Very easy to move wires from old to new and map zones as they were originally. Setup with SmartThings is easy as well. Updates to the SmartThings dashboard are timely. Love it.
DoA
I cannot make it work - neither via Ethernet nor WiFi. A lot of back and forth with support with no outcome
Excellent product and Excellent Support!
Very easy to use and install. Met all of my needs and requirements. Have it connected through Home Assistant without any issue. Only issue I had was on power off/on sometimes the board would not wake up. Support diagnosed a hardware issue and sent me a replacement board promptly. No issues whatsoever since then.
Not really DIY Friendly…
This is my second kit and still haven’t been able to get it to work. Having to download multiple apps to update the software. Then there were only 2 jumper cables with the kit and not male on male. Having to locate wire to install. Happy I have tools because the tool provided is not it. I was really hoping that this would be a quick and easy way to monitor my system via SmartThings app but it has become a multiple day project and I think I may have to eat **** and call my alarm company because now the sensor won’t register when opening doors.

So Easy
Moved into a new built pre-wired home and looked into a traditional home security company. Didn’t like the fact of another subscription and cost. During a search of security systems I came across Konnected. Watched the videos and read up on the installation and compatibility. Took me less than 30 minutes to install and get it hooked up thru Homebridge. Amazing product for anyone looking for an inexpensive solution to monitor your own security system.
Security refresh
Easy to install. Great instructions. New life to an old system!
Simplest retrofit kit on the market
Installation of this product was very simple. You don’t need an electrical engineering degree to install it. Setting up and programming of the zones is about as simple as it.
