Didn’t want to remove panel due to insurance and that HOA fee includes monitoring, didnt want smoke and heat sensors to depend on SmartThings.
Envisalink doesn’t work with my panel.
So I developed a hybrid.
* Existing Panel only uses ONE zone now which is a relay from Konnected alarm output.
* Konnected powered by alarm backup battery
* 12v Siren output from panel will drive a relay to be a zone on Konnected.
* using Alarm output of Konnected to momentarily open Zone 1 when a Konnected door or window input is open to keep the existing chime on the two keypads

Interesting, so they both trip each other?
hmmm. I kinda wondered about doing that..
I don't think my physical alarm is tied into phone ATM. and was wondering if I could run both
I was thinking about using Konnected in a similar situation, except have the contacts wired to both the Alarm Panel and the Konnected Board. If I tie the commons (0V) to each zone, I think it should work.
Has anyone used this type of setup?
Dville, So you are able to use your original keypads to arm or disarm or a wifi tablet ?
What do you mean that Konnected makes a pass through board? Forgive my ignorance as I trying to get educated in all these things
