Raw configuration parameters, z-wave raw in flow card and Volume control Doorbell 6

Alright, I’ve done some research (and received mine too!) and looking at what you wanted to send is pretty much right, the only thing I do want to know is, did you want to change the volume and tone of the 2nd doorbell button? as that is what you were trying to do now.

WARNING: This will only work if your Siren/Doorbell is connected to Homey unsecure
You can achieve this by activating the inclusion by selecting a device that forces unsecure inclusion, like all Walli devices of the Fibaro app, currently there are no forced inclusions in the Aeotec app, as most devices have the option to include unsecure from the device itself, though not the case for the Siren/Doorbell unfortunately.

All the commands are send via the flow card “Send Raw Command” of the “Z-Wave” device/app.
Where you’ll enter the ID of the device (if you don’t know the Node ID, you can find it in the Advanced Settings of your Alarm/Doorbell).


Or in case of some parameters (configuration), you can send them via the “Advanced Settings” => “Raw Configuration Parameters”

Raw Commands for setting tones and volume:
This example will change doorbell 1’s volume (50%) and tone (10 - Fire Alarm (High)):
0x60, 0x0D, 0x00, 0x03, 0x79, 0x05, 0x32, 0x0A

Just decimal numbers (or a combination of) is possible too, so you don’t have to mess with calculating hexadecimals:
0x60, 0x0D, 0x00, 3, 0x79, 0x05, 50, 10
Where the “3” is the Endpoint, “50” the Volume in percentage, and “10” the Tone Index

List of (destination) endpoints vs what they are and their default values:

  • Endpoint 1: Browsing (100%, 6 - Chimes (Hearing Enhanced))
  • Endpoint 2: Tamper Alarm (100%, 17 - Alarm)
  • Endpoint 3: Doorbell Button 1 (100%, 1 - Ding Dong)
  • Endpoint 4: Doorbell Button 2 (100%, 3 - Traditional Apartment Buzzer)
  • Endpoint 5: Doorbell Button 3 (100%, 5 - Westminster Chimes)
  • Endpoint 6: Environment Alarm (100%, 9 - Smoke Alarm (Low))
  • Endpoint 7: Security Alarm (100%, 18 - Deep Alarm Tone)
  • Endpoint 8: Emergency Alarm (100%,11 - Fire Evacuation Buzzer)

Play Single Tone:
You can also just play any tone once with a simple command:
0x79, 0x08, 1
Where “1” is the tone you want to hear.
If you want to stop the tone before it finishes playing send a value of “0”.
As Aeotec uses an “old” version (v1) of the SOUND_SWITCH CC, unfortunately volume isn’t an option but the volume is relative to the volume of the main node/first endpoint which you can set with:
0x79, 0x05, 50, 1
where “50” is the volume you want, “1” the default Tone Index

Browsing Tones:
The “browsing” endpoint can also play tones when you set a mode, and the just turn on the on/off switch in the app. (for volume, see above)
Just a tip: don’t forget to set it back to default (mode: “0”).

You can configure the browse play mode with a parameter:
RAW flow card:
0x70, 0x04, 0x01, 0x04, 1, 2, 0, 0
Advanced Settings: RAW Configuration
0x01, 0x04, 1, 2, 0, 0

Where “1” is the light effect. (below is a overview of the default light effects and values to use)
and “2” is the mode:

  • 0: 1 Tone, once; (Default)
  • 1: 1 Tone, loop;
  • 2: All tones once, chronological;
  • 3: All tones once, randomly;

The 1 tone modes’ tone can be selected by setting Endpoint 1, see above.

Start Button Pairing
You can also initiate the pairing of a button to an alarm (up to 3 buttons, they will overwrite!), by using this parameter:
RAW flow card:
0x70, 0x04, 0x31, 0x01, 1
Advanced Settings: RAW Configuration (don’t forget to remove after pairing)
0x31, 0x01, 1

Where “1” is the value for which button:

  • Button 1: value 1
  • Button 2: value 2
  • Button 3: value 4

    • Dim Duration Up: 660ms
    • Dim Duration Down: 0ms
    • On Duration: 0ms
    • Off Duration: 100ms

PS: No I will not add this all to the app, the app has recently (soon) been fully taken over by Aeotec itself, so it most likely this will come in the app, as it is still a lot of work to add all these things into the app, RAW data is the easiest for now.
If you do want to know something more, feel free to ask, then I might add it into this, or just explain it separately.
