Konnected's Alarm Panel and Alarm Panel Pro work seamlessly and 100% locally with Konnected's newest *Alarm Panel Universal* driver and our latest "Made with ESPHome" device firmware.  This guide will help you install (or re-install) your Konnected Alarm Panel product with Hubitat for the first time. We recommend performing these steps **before** physically installing the device and connecting the sensors. ### Made for ESPHome Firmware Konnected's Alarm Panel Pro comes pre-loaded with our newest firmware platform built with ESPHome. This is the preferred firmware for integrating with Hubitat using Konnected's officially supported drivers. The 6-zone WiFi-only Alarm Panels do not ship with ESPHome firmware, and need to be re-flashed using the ESPHome firmware. **If you're re-installing an older device that is not already running the latest firmware, or using a 6-zone WiFi-only Alarm Panel then:** ➡️  Go to **[install.konnected.io](https://install.konnected.io)** and select the *Made for ESPHome* firmware to update the firmware in 2 minutes. ### Install the Hubitat Driver Bundle for the Konnected Alarm Panel Konnected's Alarm Panel Universal driver can be installed in a few clicks by uploading our [packaged driver bundle](https://github.com/konnected-io/konnected-hubitat/releases/latest) or installing with [HPM.](https://hubitatpackagemanager.hubitatcommunity.com/) #### 1. Download the latest Bundle Go to the [latest release of konnected-hubitat](https://github.com/konnected-io/konnected-hubitat/releases/) on GitHub and download the **AlarmPanel.zip** file from the *Assets* section of the release. #### 2. Install the Bundle in Hubitat Log in to your Hubitat hub, go to *For Developers* \> *Bundles* \> *Import .ZIP* to upload the bundle. Or, you can copy the link to the bundle ZIP from GitHub and import it into Hubitat without downloading it first. #### Alternate method: Use HPM (Hubitat Package Manager) [Hubitat Package Manager](https://hubitatpackagemanager.hubitatcommunity.com/) makes installing and maintaining 3rd-party Hubitat drivers easy. To install the Konnected GDO White driver from Hubitat Package Manager open HPM from the *Apps* section in Hubitat and select *Install*. Then, search keywords for *Konnected*. Select the driver for your product version and follow the on-screen steps to install it. #### Alternate method: Install Libraries and Drivers manually Konnected's Hubitat integrations are open source and available on GitHub: [konnected-io/konnected-hubitat.](https://github.com/konnected-io/konnected-hubitat) Also requires [ESPHome-API-Library](https://github.com/konnected-io/hubitat-public/blob/main/ESPHome/ESPHome-API-Library.groovy) to be added to the *Libraries* section in Hubitat. ### Create a Virtual Device ESPHome devices are not automatically discovered in Hubitat. To add the parent Alarm Panel device, follow these steps to create a virtual device: 1. In Hubitat, go to *Devices* \> *Add device*. Then choose *Virtual*. 2. In the *Select device type* drop-down, scroll all the way down to the *User* heading and select *Konnected Alarm Panel* and click *Next* 3. Enter a name for the device when prompted. 4. Once the virtual device is created, click *View Device Details* then go to the *Preferences* tab. In the *Device IP Address* field, enter the local IP address of the device and click *Save*. You can find the IP address by discovering the device in the Konnected app, or by finding the network details in your router's admin page/app. ![Screenshot 2025-01-28 at 12.21.40 PM](https://support.konnected.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202025-01-28%20at%2012.21.40%20PM.png?width=688&height=281&name=Screenshot%202025-01-28%20at%2012.21.40%20PM.png) 5. After saving the IP address, Hubitat will attempt to connect to the device. You can view the *Logs* tab in case there are any errors connecting, or click the *Initialize* command on the *Commands* tab to make it re-connect. 6. *Child devices* should automatically appear soon after Hubitat connects to the device. The *child devices* are defined by the zones and settings that are configured on the Alarm Panel. You can customize these using the Konnected app. - [Konnected Devices in General](https://support.konnected.io/konnected-devices-in-general?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Intro to Konnected](https://support.konnected.io/konnected-devices-in-general?hsLang=en#intro-to-konnected) -
