Qolsys IQ Panel 4 — An all-in-one touchscreen panel for PowerG, S-Line and 345 MHz sensors, controlled locally over the LAN

Quick verdict

An all-in-one touchscreen panel supporting PowerG, S-Line and 345 MHz sensors 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.
