Quick verdict

An all-in-one touchscreen panel supporting PowerG sensors plus one legacy band per SKU (S-Line 319.5 MHz, 345 MHz or 433 MHz) that can be controlled locally from Home Assistant over the LAN. The qolsysgw/ha-qolsys-panel integrations pair to the panel over the local network so arming/zone state stay on-LAN. Just note: Local integration is community/HACS, not official, and needs the installer code.
