Hi. I am using 3 Fibaro Smoke sensors. I would like to make sure that all three of them alerts me when smoke is detected by one of them. On the website of Fibaro I find different information on this:
How can I connect all Smoke Sensors in a way that all of them alert me about the detection of smoke by one? Such function is not available.
But I also read:
What is the Alarm Broadcast? Broadcast mode allows to send alarms to all devices within the FIBARO Smoke Sensor’s range with a priority over other communications.
And also: 4th Association Group – Fire Alarm. Sending the notification ALARM SENSOR REPORT (TYPE = SMOKE ALARM) to associated devices once smoke is detected. Up to five devices supporting fire alarm command may be included in this group.
So, I am a bit confused. Does anyone has experience with the Groups of these devices and made this possible, or is there to wat to achieve this?
Tnx! Indeed, I did figure out that you cannot send a signal to the Smoke detector from Homey. I was hoping that the Fibaro’s were able to at least trigger their own kind. The “alarm Broadcast” that is mentioned on their website does suggest this I think?
If not, than that’s that. However, I think there days it’s a bit strange that Fibaro delivered modern smoke detectors without this kind of functionality.
I was thinking of creating a flow that would trigger the alarm siren when smoke is detected. I think I will do that, although it might be difficult to determine is someone is breaking in of if there is a fire when you are in your bedroom…
Fibaro Smoke Sensors doesn’t support this, because they aren’t FLIRs devices.
Z-Wave FLIRs smoke sensors are e.g. Popp POPE 004001 or Popp POPE 009402.
