Great Video Brett, However WAY Over My Head 😏 ! Lucky Me, one of my Sons is an Electrician 😊. Oh Happy Day 🎉. Thanks Brett, JaneLee 🕊️ - in Suburban Philadelphia
Thanks for this, I'm in the middle of trying to understand my old school wired alarm, while converting to a more wireless smart home setup. I too almost ripped it all out before knowing I can use some of the components with these conversion kits. Have you checked your door frames for embedded magnet sensors. I found these on my home nearly hidden and painted over used with the old wired alarm.
I would remove the boards from the metal enclosure box and mount the new boards in there. There just circuit boards so they should be mounted in an enclosure instead of out in the open.
I was surprised at how much new pire motion sensors costs compared to Smart things sensors. This certainly is most beneficial if you already have many wired sensors.
The Konnected kit starts at $99 USD for 6 zones/sensors. If your home already has wired sensors like Brett's, it's definitely better value and aesthetic to use those that you already have wired in the walls. Don't forget that new sensors are going to be wireless and need new lithium batteries every 6-12 months, which adds to the lifetime cost.
Hi hope you can help I see that you disconnect the old alarm and just use the Konnected board there is any way to keep the old one and use both ?? Thank you for any help i want to connect my 6 zones Konnected board but don’t want to disconnect the old alarm
What a ripp off product. This is just an esp8266 nodemcu v3 board... Which cost a few dollars. Flash espeasy and done. If you are a real tech guy you already knew.
It took a bit to understand all that was going on but this was a fun project! Do you have unused security system sensors in your home?
Tech With Brett yea
TWB,
Not that I'm aware of ?
Bought our house 44 years ago !

(not the guy in my avatar - He's my 1st boyfriend 😉)
terminals 6 and 7 are data terminals, not an alarm zone
I got my 12 zone panel (2x 6) recently. Got it all setup with former pre-wired ADT system using Home Assistant. Pretty happy with it
I have been waiting for a way to hook up my existing sensors in my home to home assistant. I think this is the way to go.
Thank you very much brother
Nice place and nice family!
Great video, I would go and buy it, but I have a wireless alarm system
I was really hoping my wireless door sensors would work. But looks like I just have to upgrade to SmartThings devices.
Finally! Google Duo group video call available for Google Nest Hub Max 👏👏🤗🤗
I'm so excited it is working now!

Now you have taken all the zones off your old panel, you could likely just remove the old panel from the wall completely.
That's the plan. I have slowly been removing tons of cables and items from that room that are no longer needed.
That's nice & great review.👍
Awesome video as always! This was really informative and had a lot of funny parts. 😂🤣😂 And hitting me with that fancy in the beginning of the video. 👍

That's a great idea. Do you think it would effect its Wifi signal much?
loe vid
Thanks!
Hey bro I have a question how do you fix your Wi-Fi mesh on the Google Nest can you make a video how to fix it
What issues are you having?
Tech With Brett With yellow Colour mean
I really like your videos but make the duration smaller, like 20+min video become bit boring 🤞 love from India 🇮🇳❤️
Thanks for the feedback. I will try to make that work. It is hard to cover everything I want to in a smaller video.

Good stuff
l love your videos

I believe, it will be cheaper to buy up-to-date sensors than paying $229 for Konnected conversion kit, unless someone sends me a free unit.

Does this work in aus
I heard they ship world wide so it should.
Thanks
Hello, could you pls help me promote a memory card?
3rd!
you were third
Just let me know if this works with ADT Pulse
Is your system currently working? From what I can tell your sensors should be compatible. help.konnected.io/support/discussions/topics/32000001463

Not very secure, no wifi no alarm. Easy to defeat wifi. What if you lose power? No alarm?
No thanks.
WOW ... £145 just for the 6 zone ! That's expensive for what is is. Shame.
Our 6-zone conversion kit starts at $99 USD. I don't think the exchange rate is THAT bad!
Nothing of connected, ARDUINO :v
You don't know what it's for? Sorry how difficult would it have been to u dunno test it?
First!
what's the point. Insurers probably insist on an approved product and service contract so...
This does not require a monthly fee like other security Services. So for simple monitoring it does the job.
Tech With Brett fair comment. It’s just that it wouldn’t be acceptable to insurance companies in the U.K.
Yet another infomercial. Until you spend your own money, your opinions are useless.
Thanks for the feedback. That is the last product review I have on the shelf so more videos about things I bought coming soon.

Appreciate the info, I am more prone to just a simple diy project so this was pretty nice. With more time maybe doing it myself might work too.
