Sentinel — old wiring, new intelligence

Old wiring.
New intelligence.

Sentinel is home security control that runs right in your home. Bring the sensors, wiring and panels you already own into one simple dashboard — and keep complete control. Your home, your hardware, your data. Works beautifully with Home Assistant and Konnected.

The transformation

From this. To this.

The home you already own deserves better than a beige plastic box with a 4-line LCD. Sentinel brings it into one clean dashboard you'll actually enjoy using — without throwing away a thing.

Before
The old alarm keypad, before Sentinel

The keypad from 1998

Cryptic buttons, a green LCD glow, one tiny speaker. Bolted to your wall and slowly yellowing. Still technically works — but barely.

  • No visual zone feedback
  • No event history
  • Ugly on your wall
  • Confusing zone numbers

Sentinel Control Center

A stunning full-color dashboard on any tablet — every zone, every sensor, in real time. Beautiful enough to leave on permanent display.

  • Live status — every zone named
  • Full timestamped event log
  • Beautiful on any wall
  • iPad, Android, PC — your pick
The process

Four steps. One beautiful upgrade.

No ripping walls. No new drilling. Sentinel works with what you already have — and what you get looks like nothing you've seen on a wall before.

01

Your wiring stays. Exactly as-is.

Every door sensor, window contact, motion detector, siren and buzzer you already own stays connected. Sentinel doesn't touch a single existing wire.

02

A Konnected board bridges the old panel.

Add a Konnected board alongside your existing alarm panel — it links all your sensors and wiring onto your local network, where Sentinel can read them. No cloud dependency, no monthly fees.

03

Install Sentinel on hardware you own.

Run Sentinel on a computer you already have — a Raspberry Pi, a mini PC, even a spare laptop. A guided wizard sets it up to run quietly in the background, 24/7. No internet or cloud required.

04

Mount your display. Access from anywhere.

Mount any tablet where the old keypad was — instant mission control. Sentinel also works from any browser, on any device, anywhere in the world.

Zero waste

Everything you already own. Still working.

The biggest cost in home security is installation. Sentinel skips it — your sensors and wiring are already in place, waiting to be unlocked.

Door & Window Sensors

All entry-point contacts keep working — now with live, named feedback on your dashboard.

Motion Detectors

PIR sensors are directly integrated. See exactly which room triggered — in real time.

Sirens & Buzzers

Your existing alarm speakers, indoor sirens and piezo buzzers stay fully operational.

All Existing Wiring

Every wire already in your walls is reused as-is. No new drilling, no new cable runs.

Meet Sentinel

Your flagship control center.

Built for clarity, speed and beauty. Every zone visible at a glance, every state color-coded. This is the real interface — running live, right here.

All zones secured. System standing by. Every entry point green.

A live, interactive build of the Sentinel dashboard — the same interface that ships on your wall.

Why Sentinel

Modern intelligence. No compromises.

Your home. Your data.

Sentinel runs right on your own network — nothing leaves your home, and there's no monthly bill. It keeps working even when the internet is down, and plays nicely with Home Assistant and Konnected so you're never boxed in.

Any screen. Any device.

Runs on iPad, Android tablet, Amazon Fire, Windows PC, or any modern browser. Mount it where your old keypad was, or anywhere you like.

Full event log & history.

Every open, close, motion, arm and disarm is logged with a precise timestamp — a clean, scrollable timeline of everything that ever happened.

Real-time zone dashboard.

See every door, window and motion zone at a glance — color-coded by state. No cryptic zone numbers. Just "Front Door — Open."

One-tap arm & disarm.

Arm in Stay, Away or Disarm mode with a single tap. No memorizing codes on tiny buttons at 6am before coffee.

Live weather & home display.

Sentinel doubles as a gorgeous always-on home display with live weather — beautiful on your wall even when you're not actively checking security.

The architecture

Runs on the hardware you own.

Sentinel installs on a small computer you already have — a Raspberry Pi, an Intel NUC, a mini PC, a home server, even a virtual machine. Leave it running quietly on your network, and open the dashboard from any screen in the house.

Up and running in an afternoon

A friendly setup wizard walks you through it, step by step — install Sentinel, point it at your network, and you're done. No command line, no tech background required. Own it forever.
