I've stumbled upon your product because I'm looking to upgrade my home's wired security system. The Konnected Alarm Panel is what I'm looking at and their website brought me to you. I like Hubitat over the Samsung since it is not reliant on the internet to work. Looks pretty cool to me.
FY: I'm completely green to home automation. I just received one Echo Dot for Christmas and am not impressed yet. LOL This surprises me because I love technology!
My concern is this: I don't want to end up taking away valuable resources in home security by "upgrading" to this. I want to be able to walk to a "security panel" and hit a panic button or alarm the house. How can that be accomplished with Hubitat? It appears to me that you would need access to a laptop or cell phone to open the web page to control the security system that is linked to Hubbitat, Is this correct?
You can add a keypad, like Iris or Centralite, no web access needed for security, but you need some kind of access for the notifications, I have a work arround for police monitoring so when HE detect intrusion it will trigger and call the police too(monitoring station).
I have Konnected and it works great with my 2 keypads, the lights and a siren for local alerts.
Doesn't konnected have a new "interface" that would mean you can use all your existing stuff including keypads with the added benefit of converting it to a smart system?
I know he started selling his original idea about a month after i brought a ton of z-wave UBS devices to do each of the doors and windows . It was exactly what I was after! O well it means i have a strong mesh and temperature sensors in all the rooms
I actually use both Hubduino and Konnected and can recommend both for different reasons. Both are compatible with nodeMCU modules so you can easily flip between the 2 as needed.
Konnected -
simpler setup and configuration
great documentation online although sometimes tricky to find what you need because it split up in a few places.
Hubduino
requires a bit more investment of time but can do so much more.
much more flexibility and device support.
supported by @ogiewon. That alone counts for a lot.
You can also use Envisalink or AlarmDecoder AD2PI to integrate with your existing system and still keep the original system functioning as is.
I use AlarmDecoder AD2Pi for my wired system, its actually less wiring then Knonnected if you have a supported panel. You just need to wire into your existing keypad terminals (4 leads). No need to touch any of the zones. You also get access to a virtual keypad that emulates your existing physical keypad.
I have a monitored alarm, but because I did the swap to smart sensors for HE, the monitored alarm I left only one zone, with hubduino (or konnected) I added a relay that triggers the only zone in the monitored alarm, so in HSM I added this relay in the alerts for intrusion (it works like a switch), the monitored alarm has cellular backup, if HE detects an intrusion it will trigger the monitored alarm locally and it will call the monitoring company using internet or the cellular. This was tested and confirmed that works in 2 homes.
VJV, since your very knowledgeable concerning Hubitat and Konnected, I have a quick question. I just installed Konnected interface which utilizes my old wired window and door sensors and it works GREAT with Hubitat. My question is can I arm BOTH my old wired alarm panel AND Hubitat at the same time without interfering with either's ability to monitor the sensors? I know sounds crazy having two alarms armed, BUT the sirens that I have installed with HSM are plugged into the wall with a zigbee switch attached and a 12v transformer to my sirens, if my power goes out so does the ability of my HSM sirens to function. My old panel Vista 20SE has a battery backup which would allow my Honeywell wall siren to still function and the reason I still want to arm it, plus the Honeywell wall siren is much much louder then the HSM sirens. Thanks for your time and any comments
The other person was able to utilize the relays to turn his Vista panel to arm an disarm remotely. My ancient panel couldn't be configured that way so an I didnt have any issues with Hubutat..All my arming and disarming are from the vista panel by the keypads . The HSM is armed by a V2 Iris keypad. Guess I'll just give it a try an arm both and See what happens. Thanks for your input
I have the Konnected interface unit so konnected uses the vista battery backup but unfortunately with the Konnected interface module you can't connect the Vista siren which would have solved my problem
My Vista is 20Se, builders cheapie. Yes my siren is a 12v Honeywell. I couldn't use zone one on the Vista panel per Konnected because supposed issue with panel using zone one is also used for for smoke alarms even though I dont have smoke alarm connected. Are you saying the Konnected INTERFACE can have a 12v siren connected to it? I know the original Konnected module can but not aware the interface model can. I have all the zones on my 6 zone Konnected interface used with wired sensors
. It was exactly what I was after! O well it means i have a strong mesh and temperature sensors in all the rooms 
THIS! Thank you! Sold
