Konnected.io

I've just seen this and it looks great - turns your existing/traditional hard-wired alarm system into something WiFi connected that can be integrated into a home automation setup.
It works with Smartthings and Home Assistant.
Has anyone tried hooking this up to Domoticz?

So, I've been doing further research into this.
Konnected has a python library that can be used to query the alarm system and to trigger the siren.
It is possible to set the Konnected to trigger an HTTP PUT with a JSON payload to a specific URL. It seems that Domoticz ignores the payload but does respond to the HTTP PUT request, so my thinking is:

• Create a dummy scene and individual sensor virtual switches (as motion sensors) in domoticz

• Program the Konnected to trigger the scene when movement is detected, by telling it the scene URL to call

• On activation of that scene have a domoticz script call the python library to query the true state of each sensor

• If alarm is set, etc. and a sensor is triggered, then use the python library to sound the alarm, send me an alert, etc.

Does this sound reasonable? Is there a better way of doing this?
Thanks

This topic is old now, but I wonder if anyone has interfaced the connection kit with Domoticz yet?

There is now also a MQTT interface for Konnected, perhaps that will give some options: https://help.konnected.io/support/solut ... -with-mqtt

I didn’t see that…

Would this plug-in then be the best route?:

Edit: actually not as it doesn’t handle sensors yet.

It could be a base for a konnected_mqtt plugin.
Perhaps also Nod eRed could help. But on both issues I am no expert

See https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/MQTT for more info, also on NodeRed conversions
Also there is a Node Red subforum
