Connecting Your Konnected Alarm Panel Pro to Your Network

Get your Konnected device(s) connected! This article contains information on how to get your Alarm Panel Pro boards on your network.

Step 1 - Choose Your Preferred Connectivity Option and Firmware

Important Note: Konnected Alarm Panel Pro boards now ship with ESPHome firmware pre-installed, which prioritizes a wired Ethernet connection for enhanced reliability and performance. While Wi-Fi is not enabled out-of-the-box, you can easily switch to a Wi-Fi-supported ESPHome firmware build.

Two Network Connection Options:
  1. Wired Ethernet (Recommended & Enabled by Default):
    1. Connect it: Plug one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port on your Alarm Panel Pro. Connect the other end to an available port on your router or network switch.
    2. Power up: If you're using Power over Ethernet (PoE), your Pro board will power on automatically. Otherwise, use the included power adapter.
    3. Confirm connection: The Pro board should automatically obtain an IP address from your router and appear as a device on your network.
  2. Wi-Fi (Requires Firmware Change):
    1. Download Firmware: Download the appropriate ESPHome firmware build for your Pro board that includes Wi-Fi support. You can find these builds at the Konnected Flash Tool website: https://install.konnected.io/esphome
    2. Flash Firmware: Follow the instructions provided in the "Flashing Konnected Firmware" guide to flash the new firmware onto your Pro board. This guide can be found here: https://support.konnected.io/flashing-konnected-firmware-software.
    3. Connect to Wi-Fi: Once the new firmware is installed, follow the prompts within your smart home platform (e.g., Home Assistant) or the ESPHome dashboard to connect the Pro board to your Wi-Fi network.
