First Alert CO and Smoke detectors

Post by slvrm3 »

Hi All,
I have the Aeotec Z-Stick paired up with 4 First Alert ZCOMBO CO and smoke alarams. They have paired up correctly and shows up in Domoticz.
I want to setup alerts once any of the sensors in these devices are triggered. I have not been able to identify which device type is mapped to the smoke and CO alarms in the device list. There are 2 devices which show the battery level for each of the detectors (dont know why).

Any tips on how to set this up correctly?

Thanks

Hi,

the thing you're asking is probably one of the longest awaited and need feature in Domoticz. Maybe Santa Clause will bring it in 2018 :D . Short answer to your question would be:
- there is no build-in feature which would enable you to tell which devices relates to specific zwave node
- you have to manually figure out by checking hex value of nodeID and ID of device (not idx). If you have nodeID 0x0E, then roughly (probably not 100%) devices that have device ID in form *0E* relate to that node. So devices with ID 00000E32, 00000E33, 00E003, 0E0004, etc. should all relate to same node id. Which device is actually usefull for you is yet another trick. For example, I've had examples where I had two power reporting devices for same node. Few days after inclusion correct power was reported to first device and then all the sudden, correct power was reported to second device. Then I had to set first device as unused and second as used - luckily that hasn't changed back to first case since then :)

Thanks for the tip. I will try triggering the smoke alarm of one of the sensors and check which of the ids are raising any of the events.
I will post back once I get to do this.
Thanks

I also bought this alarms but having trouble with including them :( (Domoticz on raspberrypi+Gen5 Z-stick)
Tried several times, resetted the z-wave system without result.

As described Push and hold testbutton, insert battery tray, let button loose.

My smoke detector is added correctly, however, there seems to be extra devices (5 total) that get added depending on the notification. From another products custom code I believe this could be made to behave correctly with the following information:
simulator {
status "smoke": "command: 7105, payload: 01 FF"
status "clear": "command: 7105, payload: 01 00"
status "test": "command: 7105, payload: 0C FF"
status "carbonMonoxide": "command: 7105, payload: 02 FF"
status "carbonMonoxide clear": "command: 7105, payload: 02 00"
status "battery 100%": "command: 8003, payload: 64"
status "battery 5%": "command: 8003, payload: 05"
}
Is it possible for someone to update the configuration for the first alert zcombo detector to report these statuses correctly? If not could you point me to the code base that I would need to customize to make this work correctly?

I try a First Alert, ZCOMBO detector coupling, but do not get this done.
How do I do that?

This device seems to be very touchy to get coupled and managed (often timed out just after included it).
Is there a way to have it as a security device like the KD101 smoke detector and not just a switch ?
