Smoke sensor not reporting triggers #80

Closed Telefisch closed 7 years ago

Telefisch commented 7 years ago

I think I dont understand this all... I installed the package like shown under Quickstart an I can see the fibaro smoke sensors temperature. I could not get the state of smoke-alarm or temp-alarm. What do I have to do additionally? Where do I use the Tags?

Is there any howto? thanks

Hey there, so, when you say you see the smoke sensors and temperature, where do you see them? The console output is all only for logging or debugging. You'll have to pair Homebridge with your iPhone/iPad and look at states there. Look at this section of the Homebridge README, it may be what you're looking for. If not, give me some more info about what you do and don't see and where you see it.

The smoke-sensor is my first z-wave sensor till now. I can see the temperature from this sensor in Homebridge/HomeKit but not the alarms of it. In the z-wave UI, I can see this Sensor with its temperature, smokealarm and heatalarm. Do I have to configure anything else but the QuickStart-section? Sorry, I am no programmer till now :(

FYI, I have some other plugins running without problems, so Homebridge itself is working fine.

I will have to go back and test mine. I haven't actually caused my smoke alarm (I have a Fibaro model) to be triggered, I have simulated it with software devices. Perhaps it actually doesn't work as I expected.

Note also though, that Apple just added support for notifications from smoke sensors in 10.2. Previous to that, you would only notice that a smoke alarm was triggered if you were looking at the Home app at that time (besides the screeching noise of course). In 10.2, it will send you a notification...but you also may have to enable it in the Home app (long-press on device and select "Details" and then "Status and Notifications") if you already had the device in your network before the 10.2 upgrade...unsure about that.

I also have the fibaro device. If I can help with additional information, your welcome.

SphtKr commented 7 years ago

Should be fixed in 0.5.0-rc1 --update and check please!

Seems to be better... Now I have a signal smoke detected. I'm missing the signal heat detected, that comes with this sensor through z-wave UI. Battery-status is also not available but that isn't available in z-wave UI also.

SphtKr commented 7 years ago

Yes--there's not a heat sensor exactly in HomeKit, so if I bridge it I have to be creative. Haven't figured that out yet.

SphtKr commented 7 years ago

Closing with this ticket as smoke detectors are now fixed--the heat-infrared issue is moved to another issue number.
