Actually, I don't understand how the PIR motion detectors are wired up. They are Micron TX2 sensors and they have only three wires which connect to the Z6L.

 

I did a lovely diagram with the Z6L and worked out where pretty much everything went.

 

The positive and negative (to power the PIR) and a third wire that is just connected to the appropriate Zone connector on the Scorpion Z6L. 

 

There is nothing in the GND for each zone. No idea how that could be connected to the Konnected board...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Instead of using the blue to complete the sense circuit they are using the the negative.

 

The sense circuit is generally a sense terminal back to a common terminal, sometimes positive, sometimes negative.

 

This way saves using the fourth wire which can be handy for adding another zone near an existing zone.

Ah - I understand - So the GND part of each zone is actually the same as the -ve on the Micron board.

 

Wonder if the Konnected board would work the same way...

I ordered my Konnected alarm yesterday from Amazon Aus,  and it should be here on the 27th of September watch this space!

 

 

Well, my grandson wired it yesterday but I'm struggling to configure it Can't seem to get to show in home assistant! so unable to assign my sensors and siren.

 

 

It's a bit sad you didnt give us an update on this 🙁

I certainly will be - please post updates on how you get on with it.

I didn't get a response from anyone regarding this, but it kept asking me to do a firmware update which I tried and then I was stuck in the loop and I couldn't do anything with the alarm.
Their helpline with their one-line responses could have been more helpful to me I realise they must be busy.  But it didn't ease my problem.
So rather than waste more time I decided to return the alarm to Amazon.
