Brief introduction
KentixONE runs on all networkable Kentix products as so-called embedded – i.e. integrated – software and always has the same version status for all products.
As an IoT solution, KentixONE is based on the most advanced web technologies, providing a state-of-the-art graphical user interface in the web browser that can be understood in the shortest possible time. To make the usage as easy and intuitive as possible, there are different levels, like the “EasyView” view. With this, you record the complete system status at a glance. The Kentix thumb serves as the central element. This indicates whether your building, infrastructure or facility is secured. If an action is required, KentixONE will direct you to the “DetailView” view to learn more about the alarm or warning conditions. The “DetailView” view exactly maps the structure of your project by buildings, floors, rooms or functions. Extensive filter and intelligent search functions take you directly to the information you need. The KentixONE interface is both a configuration interface and a user interface.

Compatibility
KentixONE is shipped on all Kentix products with firmware version 08.x.x or later.
Update existing devices
For the update of already used products you will find all necessary downloads in the Kentix-Shop.
Products with firmware version 5 or lower cannot be used for Kentix ONE.
Before the update, the compatibility of the devices must be checked. Only products from a certain production date are updateable.
The year and month of production is noted on the stickers on the devices or in the web interface.
The date of manufacture can also be determined using the serial number.
A serial number consists of several elements and is structured as in the following example:
12ab4567xy890
The digits a and b represent the year of production, with the numbers rotated.
Example:
a=1, b=2
12 rotated gives 21
This device is from the year 2021.
The digits x and y contain the month of manufacture.
Example:
x=1, y=0
Results in 10, rotated= 01.
This device was therefore produced in January of the year 2021.
Not compatible with Kentix ONE are devices with the following production dates:
Access Manager
KXP-16-LAN: older 07/18
Multisensors
KMS-LAN: older 01/18
KMS-LAN-RF: older 01/18
Alarm Manager Basic and Pro
KAM: older 01/18
Other
Keypad KKPT-Touch: No longer supported in Kentix ONE
