Konnected won't add new nodemcu

Hey guys, I’m wondering if I’m experiencing a related problem. For several reasons, we wanted to transition our Konnected panels to ESPHome. I started with our 3 Pro’s and just can’t get it to work.

I reflashed using install.konnected.io, then I used the Konnected mobile app to create all my zone configurations and build/update the firmware. So far so good.

Then I went to Hubitat, used HPM to install “Alarm Panel (Universal)” and then created a virtual device. Still good.

I put in the IP address under preferences, hit save, and then Initialize. After a browser refresh, the child devices show up as expected. Still good.

Here’s the problem: when I produce events (walk by a motion sensor or open and close a door), nothing events show up in the corresponding child device.

When I pull up the board’s IP and look at the log on the right hand side, all the events are there. When I look at Hubitat logs of the parent device, all the events are there too. But they don’t show up at the child device level.

I have been going back and forth with Andy Wulf @ Konnected for days (bless his heart for over the top patience), but we haven’t cracked it and I think he’s feeling like it’s a Hubitat problem.

Out of desperation, I went to chatgpt and it’s telling me I need to add an ESPHome driver before the Alarm Panel package (which I tried, but it didn’t change the behavior).

Anyone have any experience or suggestions? @nate

EDIT: Two other factoids: I have a static IP address on the board and the board reports having ESPHome firmware version 2025.9.3

EDIT 2: Also, I am getting the exact same error message as @djh_wolf from post 11 above. It's almost as if somehow Konnected forgets the network connection (as I'm using ethernet, so...)
