Smoke-detector, status change domoticz doesn't work

[hoeby]

Today i connected a smoke-detector, it is added to the devices list.
Next i actived it to the switch list.

I made a smoke-alarm whit it. The detector made the sound and also the gateway made a sound and light.
But looking in domoticz, nothing happend.
When i move a xiaomi motion detector, than i see a status change in domoticz. The same idea doesn't work on the smoke-detector?

When there is no alarm and looking in the switch page, it looks like undernead.
When i make a smoke-alarm, it stays the same. It doens't make a differance when i go to an other page and return to the switch-page (or push F5)


It is possible to do a mouse click on the grey fire picto.
Than it gets a colour and the word changes from "off" to "on" (in the picture from "uit" to "aan" (dutch))
Than the picutre looks like this. Again a smoke-alarm test. Again i can't find a status change in domoticz.


How can i find the status change in domoticz, so i can make an event whit is?

Tried the log file?

[hoeby]

When looking to the log-file. I only see the manual switch functions i do. But not the smoke-alarms which i tested.

i am running Version: 3.8153

[hoeby]

i made a step today whit my problem.

I put the alarm "ON" in switch-page of domoticz.
After that i made an alarm. Domoticz switched the alarm to "OFF". No event switched.
Again i made an alarm, on the switch-page there is nothing to see. This is because the alarm switch to "on" and "off" in a second (saw this in de log).
I can make an event whit it and that works.

Only thing to work on, how to keep de alarm longer active in domoticz instead of a second.
This can be usefull when looking in the app, otherwise i don't know where the alarm is made, unless looking in the log files (which i don't prefer).

[SweetPants]

Have you tried the "Off delay"?

[hoeby]

The delay OFF function doesn't work.
First i need to change the type from smokedetector to switch, because the smokedetector doesn't have delay.
After that i programmerd 60sec. off delay.
Made an alarm. Looking in the log file, the alarm went to ON but in the same second to OFF.
60 seconds later there is again an OFF message. The picto stays grey in this time, also when pushing F5 (refresh)

[schurgan]

I have the same problem. No status change at Domoticz at the smoke detectors. Does not anyone have a solution?

I think we have to offer corbin to change that.

[hoeby]

i have noticed that the smoke detectors give a pulse. when alarm of is ON and OFF in the same second. i made a virtual switch to extend the alarm.
look in the log file of the device, there i noticed it

Hello,
Today I've tried to add the xiaomi smoke detector in Domoticz. How did you do this? When I pressed the test button on the smoke alarm within the time-window to receive new sensors (within domoticz), i see the following text in the log file:

Within the "devices" list I don't see the smoke detector. What am i doing wrong? Has someone a tutorial?

Which version of Domoticz do you have?
Did you enable the hardware in the Settings tab?

[willie-p]

I've an other issue with the Smoke Alarm.
I'm also trying to trigger the Alarm manual however I'm getting the following feedback: " Error: XiaomiGateway: unable to write command - Unsupported device"

Cheers
Will

[visuel]

Same here:

I'm also trying to trigger the Alarm manual however I'm getting the following feedback:


2019-01-23 18:13:17.926 Error: XiaomiGateway: unable to write command - Unsupported device
2019-01-23 18:13:18.177 Error: XiaomiGateway: unable to write command - Unsupported device

[hoeby]

sorry, i don't know why you getting "unable to write command".
For the help for other people, which domoticz version are you running.

I run version 4.9700 stable.
I programmed the alarm as "switch on/off". Tested it a few minutes ago, i can set it manual without error

[jejedelbarro]

Hi,

you mean you are able to trigger the alarm manually from domoticz ?

To coplete that you just had to turn the alarm as "switch on/off" ?

Regards

[Gadgetopi]

i have noticed that the smoke detectors give a pulse. when alarm of is ON and OFF in the same second. i made a virtual switch to extend the alarm.
look in the log file of the device, there i noticed it

I've got the same issue. How did you succeed to extend the alarm ? What is the role of your virtualswitch ?

[hoeby]

I made a dzvents script, which is triggered by the smoke-detector. This sets the dummy switch On. The dummy sets an image active on my dashboard, where the alarm is coming from.
Then you need to make something to also turn off the dummy switch. I do this by my own made dashboard. Where i need to accept the alarm, before my tablet stops making the fire alarm sound. Then the image on the dashboard sets back to normal.

But this depents what you are willing to do with the alarm.
Could you explane, why you want to extend the alarm?. Maybe there are other solutions

Thanks for your feedback. I just want to trigger a simple event to send a mail notification when smoke detector is triggered.
But, as you, domoticz show ON and OFF at the same time so my event is never triggered...

So that's why I'm asking how did you succeed to have a normal ON and then OFF some minutes later to do some events

[hoeby]

This is the script i am using.
It is not exactly the script, because mine also sets the dashboard.
So i removed the dashboard items in the script.

For each smokedetector you need to make a dummy device.
This dummy device is set ON when the smokedetector gives an alarm. The dummy device could be used to trigger other scripts/events
The delay is the timer which switches OFF the dummy device after the minutes you filled in.

With some modification of the script. It also should be possible to send mail notification with this script.
Then you don't need the dummy devices.

Code: Select all

--[[
For each smokedetector make a dummy.
Fill in the smokedetector name and its dummy. Between the ( ), leave the " ".
Change the number for delay. This switches off the dummy device after X minutes
]]--

local smokedetector1      = dz.devices("Rookmelder-Meterkast")
local smokedetector1dummy = dz.devices("Rookmelder-Meterkast-Dummy") 
local smokedetector1delay = 5   -- Delay to switch off dummy, in minutes

local smokedetector2      = dz.devices("Rookmelder-Zolder")
local smokedetector2dummy = dz.devices("Rookmelder-Zolder-Dummy")
local smokedetector2delay = 5   -- Delay to switch off dummy, in minutes

debug = false                   -- Set to true to enable extra log-info, set to false to disable extra log-info.

-------------------------------------------------------
------------ Do not modify below this line ------------
-------------------------------------------------------

return {
    on = { 
       devices = {smokedetector1,
                  smokedetector2,
         }
       },

    execute = function(dz, device)
        if dz.devices(smokedetector1).state == 'On' then
            smokedetector1dummy.switchOn()
                if debug then
	            print ('Debug smoke-detector, ' ..smokedetector1.. ' is switch On. Dummy ' ..smokedetector1dummy.. ' is switched On')
	        end
        else     
            smokedetector1dummy.switchOff().afterMin(smokedetector1delay)
                if debug then
	            print ('Debug smoke-detector, Dummy ' ..smokedetector1dummy.. ' is switched Off')
	        end
        end
        
        if dz.devices(smokedetector2).state == 'On' then
            smokedetector2dummy.switchOn()
                if debug then
	            print ('Debug smoke-detector, ' ..smokedetector2.. ' is switch On. Dummy ' ..smokedetector2dummy.. ' is switched On')
	        end
        else     
            smokedetector2dummy.switchOff().afterMin(smokedetector2delay)
                if debug then
	            print ('Debug smoke-detector, Dummy ' ..smokedetector2dummy.. ' is switched Off')
	        end
        end
  end
}

Thanks a lot hoeby, I will give a try

Then you don't need the dummy devices.

It works perfectly. Thanks again
