This. I had a AAA Alarm system put in when we built our house 15 years ago. I got a SmartThings hub years go and had zwave motion sensors and door sensors. Konnected was a Kickstarter project at the time that I supported which eventually launched. I cancelled the alarm service and wired everything it had into the Konnected panel and tied it into SmartThings. I repurposed the zwave sensors and used the wires sensors. I worked greatly until my SmartThings hub finally failed. I put Home Assistant on an old Raspberry Pi 2 and have been running it on that since and had been solid. The one thing I was able to setup on HA that I never got to work with ST was a delayed alarm where it goes you 30 seconds to leave th house before it arms.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. HA is a huge learning curve and does take a considerable amount to time to setup.
