Smoke Detector HomematicIP HmIP-SWSD - Service for Triggering Alarm #4298

Closed JeWi81 closed 4 years ago

JeWi81 commented 4 years ago

Hello all

I have got seven somke detectors (Type HmIP-SWSD) present in home assistant. I would like to group them. If one device detects smoke and makes noise, all other six devices should also make noise.

Can anybody describe how to trigger an alarm (smoke detector makes noise)?

In my HA the HmIP-SWSD detector is listed in entity list twice:

sensor.living_room_smoke_alarm_status and binary_sensor.living_room_battery_status

For entities of type "light", I can call a service to switch them on and off, thats clear. But for entities of type "sensor" or "binary_sensor" I assume there is no service available (what is somehow understandable, since it is a sensor)

Is there any other way of triggering the alarm? Is there an entity missing?

Thank you very much for help. In case this forums is not the right one for this issue, please advice me to the appropriate one.

Jens
