Fibaro smoke sensor

klaas

I just bought a fibaro smoke sensor, and the only thing that works is the temparature change. 
i would also like to see a kind of test button in the app, so that I can test the sensor via the Homey on conectiviteit and alarm.

caseda

for the "smoke sensor" and "heat sensor" wake up the smoke sensor once by pressing the button on top 3 times.

it's not possible to add a button to homey for testing, the smoke sensors doesn't allow activating from outside sources (outside of smoke of course)

klaas

it is already connected, because i get the message if the temp changed

caseda

there is a difference in waking up and sending the temperature, it doesn't need to wake up to just send the temperature

klaas

oke , now i pressed the button 3 times , and stil no rookmelder and hittealarm ...

caseda

hmm, that's strange, which version are you using, the non z-wave plus version or the z-wave plus version

klaas

Fibaro Smoke sensor 2  ZWA+ 
I've thrown away the old device, and recreated a new one. now i see more 

should it look like this? 

caseda

well unless you have smoke near the sensor then yes that's what it supposed to look like

klaas

ok thnks

How did you add it? Via Homey -> Z-wave or via Fibaro -> Smoke detector ?

Rocodamelshe

Last option is the only option?

caseda

no, both will work and have the same result, the only difference in the latter it will show you how to include it

I have the same as @klaas, Smoke, Heat and Battery just show a -
Just like with the FG-MS001, Battery is always -
Seems like Homey loses the last data when no new data is received for a long time.

Added the first smoke sensor a couple of days ago and just added the second one.

1st one: I see Rook: Ja/Nee, Hitte: Ja/Nee, Temp -, Battery -
2st one: I see Rook: Ja/Nee, Hitte: Ja/Nee, Temp 22c, Battery -

In Insights I do see temp readings, +/- once every 12 hours.

p.s. any ideas to make usable flows without making the same flows for every sensor and every alarm (smoke/temp)?

caseda

the battery not showing i'm already working on, will be needing a change for ALL battery devices, so might be viable to add it to the z-wave driver instead of every singel battery device.

and the - for smoke etc, will be a value that was timed out because the value is "GET" while the module is asleep.
that will result in "null" and thus a dash ( - )
so might make the battery code interchangeable for any capability
("GET" only when device awake)

don't know when i will do this, homey might need an update first to make it reliable enough thanks to a bug where homey doesn't recognize between the device is being awake, or is just sending an signal. (already a github issue)

Same problem.
2 Fibaro smokes sensors.
Temperature is oké for both.
When I test the alarm (with real smoke), nothing is triggered by Homey...

How do you get the Fibaro connected ? When I want to connect it says, press the button on the Fibaro 3 times shortly after eachother, I do this buth nothing happenes, keeps asking to push the button three times. Have 7 fibaro smoke alerts and problem is with al 7 of them.
What's going wrong ?

@Danny_Hilversum
Did you remove the paper tag from the battery compartment? 
Or if you ever had it included with an other controller, did you reset the smoke sensors?

rtna

When connecting you should hold the Fibaro close to Homey, within one meter range.

They are also connected to Toon from Eneco and with Toon they work fine, all 7 of them.

Rocodamelshe

Also connected?? First remove them in Toon and then connect them to Homey. They cannot connect to 2 controllers . Just start with 1 to try!

Danny_Hilversum

problem solved, disconnected from Toon, reset Fibaro and added again on Homey.
Thanks Caseda and Rocodamelshe

I tested the smoke alarm and it wont reset in Homey, any suggestions?
