New Smoke detector and Siren from Everspring

Not sure if anyone has mentioned these recently, as I was away for few weeks… Anyway, Everspring has announced some new Z-Wave devices (Smoke Detector, Siren, Illumination sensor…):

http://www.everspring.com/news/news_Detail.asp?UID=95

Those devices are listed on their Product page, but for some reason all the images are broken…

Also, not sure when those become available - we should probably ask our favorite distributor, ASIHome… :slight_smile:

They are available.

Take a look at EZhome – Just another WordPress site for the smoke detector and EZhome – Just another WordPress site for the siren

Our Danish friends also have them:
HomeesTore.com is for sale | HugeDomains

Excuse me for you guys in the US, these are the EU versions but it is good to see more and more z-wave products are showing up these days.

Hi,

We will receive logs from a customer which has Everspring smoke detector and maybe the specifications in a datasheet and see what we can do to add support for this devices if they’re not working yet. We will test and share the resolution with you guys. Thanks!

The Smoke detector does not work.

The siren work, but i am not sure it will wake up.

As far as I know, they should both be Zensor nodes and require V2 of the Aeon stick.

Danish Flex-Control use them, so they are called Flex-control smoke detector SF812-1 and Flex Control Siren SE812-1 in our Danish Wiki.

The smoke detector doesn’t work, it is detected as a GenericIO but can’t trigger a scene.

The siren works great, it wakes up and the siren stats and the light flashes.

Great product!

6

is there any news on the smoke detector.
does the flex control smoke detector work, or are you still working on a solution ?

7

It will be up to the new firmware.

The Smoke detector works with the new Aeon sticks and Homeseer.

So when Micasaverde includes the right lib. it will work.

But for now i dosn’t.

Some news about Indoor Siren (everspring SE812) and Smoke sensor (Everspring SF812) compatibility ?

9

I just tried to include the Everspring SE812 Indoor Siren to VeraLite and pressing the button on the siren 3 times does not make the Leds on VeraLite flicker to confirm it has been added and no new device can be seen in VeraLite.

Can anyone confirm that they were able to add this siren device in to Vera ?

Thanks

Both smoke sensor an siren work fine. If you are unable to include the siren, it may already think it is part of a zwave network (I’ve seen this in equipment from several vendors). Do a factory reset on the siren, or try to exclude it first from the Vera UI

THANK YOU !!

I reset the siren and then it added to VeraLite OK! Strange it needed resetting, a brand new item out of the packaging, but your advice worked. ;D

12

Its added the Siren as a light bulb icon, Micasaverde could really do with improving their icons and allowing users to select different ones!

In the screen shot next to the Siren is a HSM02 Door contact sensor, when the door contact sensor is armed and if the garage door is opened I would like for the siren to go off. What’s the best way to set this up in VeraLite ?

Do I need to add some scenes and a trigger or can I do it another way in these device settings / associations ?

Cheers

13

Not sure I understand associations correctly?

I went in to the Door Sensor device and then to the Device Options tab, I created a new Association Group called 1.
I then added the Siren device see: Door-Sensor-Association.jpg

I then configured the Siren device and also added a new Association group called 1 and added the Door sensor, see: Siren-Association.jpg

So now these two devices are associated to each other in Group 1 ?

What does this actually mean LOL. When the door sensor is armed and trigged should the siren then go off ?

Thanks

You’d set up the association in the controlling device, i.e. the sensor.

(Groups are typically related to events. Upon a certain event, some action is taken by the device, that acts on all devices in the related group. Which groups are supported and what the events and actions are, is determined by the device and should be mentioned in the manual. For instance, for motion sensors it’s not uncommon that group 1 is related to the sensor tripping/un-tripping. All devices associated into that group, e.g. your siren, are sent an On command when the trip event occurs, and an Off command when the untrip event occurs.)

Thanks, I think I will have to setup the two devices directly e.g the Door sensor turns on the siren as what I setup in Vera (Door sensor triggers scene, scene turns on the siren) is now not working as I have issues with the distance of these devices from the house. See here.

16

So all I should have to do is configure the Door Contact Sensor in VeraLite, add a Group 1 tick the Siren device and save / up date the sensor. Then when the sensor is tripped, the sensor itself should send the on command to the Siren ?

Thanks

The manual for the Door contact sensor here

Says:

Programming

  1. Z-Wave’s Group (Association Command Class Version 1)
    The unit supports two association groups. This has the effect that when the unit is
    triggered, all devices associated with the unit will receive the relevant reports.
    Grouping 1 Support ALARM_REPORT, SENSOR_BINARY_REPORT
    Grouping 2 Support BASIC_SET

Grouping 1 Application (Max. node=1)
Power Applied
Once the power has been applied, Alarm Report Command will be sent to
Nodes in Grouping 1 to confirm the power applied status for HSM02.

Grouping 2 Application (Max. node=5)
However, the BASIC_SET command will be also sent to the nodes of
Grouping 2. For instance, a lamp module will be turned off after receiving the BASIC_SET command.

Basic Set Command:
Event Present:
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 255 (0xFF)]
Event Clear:
[Command Class Basic, Basic Set, Value = 0 (0x00)]

Try Group 2.

18

Try Group 2.[/quote]

That works!

Well I bought the door contact sensor and siren in from the garage back in to the house to setup again.

I removed the part in the Vera scene that was previously turning on the siren. So now when the door contact is broken it is the Group 2 Association that is turning on the siren instead, will have to put them back in the garage and see if they work down there ?

Thanks

One thing I am not sure about In Vera the Door contact sensor was set to Bypass, when I broke the contact the siren went off anyways. I would only want the siren to go off when the sensor is armed. This doesn’t seem to be working now I have switched to turning on the siren using Group 2 Association instead of turning on the siren in a Vera scene. Is that normal? If so whenever I opened the garage door the siren would go off and I’d have no way to turn it off.

The [tt]Bypass[/tt]/[tt]Arm[/tt] notion exists in Vera; it is not a feature of the sensor. So the sensor will always send a signal. By setting the sensor to [tt]Bypass[/tt] in Vera, you can (optionally) prevent scenes from running that use the sensor as a trigger.
