Recent googling found that an account on GitHub called jasonmadigan published a home assistant integration that mimics the HKC API so you can integrate the alarm into home assistant without the use of a Konnect.
I don't have a WiFi or lan module installed yet so I haven't been able to test it. Just wondering if there is anyone on here that has? So I can justify getting a Lan or WiFi module installed.

Have been using this for a while. Uses the same API as HKC's new app. No issues so far.

Can you share some more details? (1) is there a specific HKC interface card which needs to be added? (2) This looks to poll every 60 seconds, does that mean if someone walks past a motion sensor, the event in Home Assistant could be up to 60 seconds delayed??

Read the caution note, the GSM-Wifi card is recommended. The mobile app polling time is apparently around 60 seconds as well.

Does this work with the newer HKC SW1070 panel?
Also, does it enable you to be able to arm/disarm the alarm using the Home Assistant app instead of the HKC app?
Thanks

Brill!
Also, can you turn on/off outputs like on the HKC app?
And can you display the status of each sensor like in the app too?
Lastly, I presume this integration works fine with Ethernet LAN module too?

I don't have any outputs configured but I don't believe so. You should file PR or feature request on GitHub.
Yes, each zone is added as a sensor.
Ethernet/WiFi is recommended. You'll quickly exceed your monthly data allowance if using GSM.
