HmIP-SWSD - Use as siren

[AlphaZuluNRW]

I'm using two HmIP-SWSD. In the CCU3 I wrote a script, that started an alarm on the HmIP-SWSD, when one of the HM-Sec-SD-2 detected smoke. I wanted to do the same now in Home Assistant, but I can't start any actions there using the HmIP-SWSD.

Is this a bug in the integration that treats the HmIP-SWSD like a normal smoke detector?

This feature was deliberately not implemented for the known reasons.
But if you want to take over the testing, one can perhaps also think about taking it over into the integration.

Looks like the relevant parameter is SMOKE_DETECTOR_COMMAND on Channel 1 with the following value list:

0 = "RESERVED_ALARM_OFF",
1 = "INTRUSION_ALARM_OFF",
2 = "INTRUSION_ALARM",
3 = "SMOKE_TEST",
4 = "COMMUNICATION_TEST",
5 = "COMMUNICATION_TEST_REPEATED"

To activate the Intrusion alarm you could try to call a service like:

service: homematicip_local.set_device_value
data:
  device_address: "1234"
  channel: 1
  parameter: SMOKE_DETECTOR_COMMAND
  value: 2
  value_type: int
  

To deactivate the alarm you could try the value 1.

Please report back if it works.

Just tested with one of my HmIP-SWSD.
Its working for me without problems. As the HmIP-SWSD are grouped, the other smoke detectors also start to alarm shortly afterwards.
Thank you very much!

Hi, I’ll test it as soon as possible 😊.

[SukramJ]

Have you come to test yet?

I hope to be able to do that over the weekend. Von: SukramJ ***@***.***> Gesendet: Donnerstag, 16.

Hello everyone and thanks for the inquiry about using the smoke detectors as sirens. I was also looking into that topic, as i would like to use them as sirens for different use cases (alarming about water leakage for instance).
I've just tested your commands @SukramJ and they have worked correctly (value 2 for intrusion alarm on, value 1 turning it off).
In case you need more testing, i am happy to help out here.

Btw. i would like to use this opportunity to say out loud: thank you for creating this very well made integration and your contribution for the Community. For me it is by far superior to the native one in homeassistant. It greatly has helped me in properly integrating my Homematic Environment into HA. Thanks a lot!

[SukramJ]

Thank you, and thank you for testing. I just wanted to know if these commands work as expected.
I would recommend you to use an HmIP-ASIR for your use case. ASIR has no build in battery, that should last for 10 years and is not replaceable, and has a bigger variation of possible sound and light effects.

I got the ASIR as well, but wanted to use the whole lot of 9 Smoke Detectors in my house to make quite a lot of noise in very serious situations (which hopefully shouldn't occur too often). Together with the ASIR i use them for my hidden panic button (to scare of intruders), water leakage (which happened once; i was glad i had this running, as it has prevented quite a lot of possible damage) and in case of opening any windows/doors while the house is not occupied by a family member or a guest).

[ChristophCaina]

there is a real usecase for such a request.
For example - I have a fire detector in our kitchen (heat), which is connected per Zigbee to HomeAssistant.
Now, I can trigger that device, if one of the Smoke Detectors would detect smoke (by switching on the Siren)... but currently - it is not possible to do it in the other direction.

I would like to be able to fire the siren of one (or all) Smoke detectors, if the heat-detector would be triggerd.

Since I have placed the smoke detectors nearly everywhere in the house, it would also alarm others that would not hear the single heat detector.

of course - the best option would be, if EQ3 would be able to build such a heat detector by their own... but... until then... :)
