ZW162 (Aeotec Siren 6) No siren switches Domoticz -> ZW-JS-UI

[sethwright]

Hi,

I can't trigger a siren from Domoticz while using the ZW162. Anyone has a way to resolve the following?

Environment:
Domoticz version: 2023_1 (build 15099)
ZW-JS-UI zwave-js-ui: 8_9_0_2d95700/zwave-js: 10_10_0

In ZW-JS-UI I've included Aeotec Siren 6 (ZW162) and shows 19 devices (change settings like volume and tone works):
binary_sensor_siren_status_1
light_volume_dimmer_1
binary_sensor_siren_status_2
light_volume_dimmer_2
etc.

In Domoticz the devices are automatically discovered and added as well. Unfortunately I can't switch any of the sirens, there is no switch that allows that (and switching one of the binary_sensor devices triggers and error that it isn't allowed). It looks exactly as described in topic ?p=293845#p293845.

Is there a way to resolve this to make it possible trigger the siren alarms from Domoticz switches?

Somebody a solution for this? I have exact the same problem. After migrating from ozw to zwave-js-ui (a very, very difficult process) I don't have a siren switch any more.

[rapperobert]

Have you already found a solution? I have exactly the same problem.

thanks in advance for your answer.

[waltervl]

Can you switch the siren in Zwave-JS-UI interface? If not then it is an issue in Zwave-JS-UI and you should ask there.

[rapperobert]

yes it works there, that's no problem, I also see dimmers 1 to 8 in Domoticz, but I can't do anything with that (it doesn't do anything at all)

[rapperobert]

maybe a bit unclear but after adding the aeotec siren 6 I see dimmers for volume in domoticz in devices there are more things such as battery status but nothing else

[waltervl]

I think you have to create an issue on github for missing devices for MQTT-Autodiscover to get your device supported correctly

Developers have created a script to gather information about a specific MQTT device. See github https://github.com/domoticz/domoticz/tr ... rt/mqtt_ad for more detailed instructions.

You have to supply a copy of all MQTT messages for a device used by MQTT Autodiscovery, you can follow the following steps:

• check for mosquitto_sub installed. If not please install with sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients

• go to subdirecory domoticz/scripts/support/mqtt_ad

• Run the script mqtt_ad_record.sh as shown in the examples on github with the appropriate parameters. This will capture all MQTT packages in scope of the defined parameters.

• If the device is not discovered correctly in Domoticz please use the Rediscover Node button in Zwave-JS-UI to get all the MQTT info in the log.

• Provide us with the mqtt_ad_record_NNN.log file containing all records.

• Press Ctrl+c when you want to stop the capture process before the timer ends.

[rapperobert]

Thank you for your detailed answer. I am in the middle of migrating from the "old" environment to the new docker structure. so that all devices are back as they were. Once I have completed that I will start collecting the information for this device.

thanks again for your answer.

Hi, can you do something with this?

I only see volume dimmer config, no switch on/off configurations.
Did you use the Rediscover Node button in Zwave-JS-UI?

Yes I did that. I also deleted it completely and added it again. I see more than just the dimmer, but in fact no switch or something like that.

[waltervl]

What happens if you switch the siren on/off from Zwave-JS-UI? What mqtt messages are being created by Zwave-JS-UI?

I don't think I was completely clear. there are no on/off buttons. I can play sounds in Zwave JS but there are no on/off buttons so no Binary switch that you can turn on/off

small update:
When I play the sound of option 1, the status in Domoticz goes on. So communication etc. is going well, only the on/off buttons of the 8 sounds are missing

[waltervl]

If Zwave-JS-UI has no switch on/off then Domoticz also is not able to create a switch on/off. You have to discuss this on the Zwave-JS-UI or Zwave-JS GitHub repository.

clearly,

just a question, do you know a good siren that works like this with domoticz? I want to be able to choose multiple sounds depending on the type of alarm. If there is a water leak, I want a different alarm than if there is a fire or a burglary.

[waltervl]

You have to find a siren that is supported by Zwave-JS, they have a device database on their GitHub site.

[waltervl]

I saw you made an issue on Domoticz and Zwave-JS GitHub.
Can you now switch the siren on from Zwave-JS-UI? First you wrote you could not do that. When this is possible then what are the mqtt messages when switching the siren on/off

there is no real on off button that is where the confusion is.

If I select the tone for bell 1 in Zwave JS [75-121-1-toneId] Play Tone then the siren plays that sound.

the log from domoticz by play the sound in zwave js is

2023-10-01 08:54:51.116 zwaveNW: Light/Switch/Switch (sirene aeotec 6_siren_status_1)
