Aqara smoke detector linkage alarm

[YarniP]

Doesn’t seems to work for me, i put one in a pot with smoke, it went into alarm, got no notification and the others didn’t go off?

[ciB]

Did you enable the linkage alarm on all the devices? Can you check the debug of the automation and see what happened and post it here?

[YarniP]

i did, ill make debug tomorrow

[Neshco (Nenad Spasovic)]

Can someone confirm to me that I have a wrong type of the smoke sensor?

[ciB]

Yes, that’s a different type of smoke detector.

There seems to be an issue with the smoke detectors where they go unavailable after a while (only a few hours/days) in z2mqtt. Once they are unavailable, they have to be repaired. Obviously the automation does not work when they are unavailable.

This unavailability was running me mad. I think aqara default pings are longer than the zigbee standards and hence this disconnection. I just thought of a “ping” solution, here it is:

alias: Patrol - Smoke Sensor Pings
description: ""
trigger:
  - platform: time_pattern
    hours: /4
condition: []
action:
  - parallel:
      - service: switch.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator
        data: {}
      - service: switch.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator_2
        data: {}
      - service: switch.turn_on
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator_3
        data: {}
  - delay:
      hours: 0
      minutes: 0
      seconds: 10
      milliseconds: 0
  - parallel:
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator
        data: {}
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator_2
        data: {}
      - service: switch.turn_off
        target:
          entity_id:
            - switch.lumi_lumi_sensor_smoke_acn03_heartbeat_indicator_3
        data: {}
mode: restart

I don’t think there is much danger with turning the heartbeat indicator on/off (please let me know if this has a super crucial function).

However, even with this the success of pings are kinda random. Running it every 4 hours seem to work though (some fail but 4 hours is way faster than the ping standard so even if I have a 50+% fail rate it should still be OK).

Hi, I tried using the blueprint but the selector wasnt working for me. When I checked my devices I see that the models were being shown differently then expected:

I changed the blueprint locally to “Smart smoke detector (JY-GZ-01AQ)”, with this I could find the smokedetectors, and it seems to work for me.
Not sure I should do this?
Also, it seems that the model naming of the smoke detectors changed in MQTT? Can someone verify that?

Hey guys,

I have the Aqara smoke detector linked with my HA via MQTT. However, when I try to create an automation based on this blueprint, it cannot find my smoke detectors.

I dont have them connector to an area yet, so I did that for one smoke detector to see if that changes anything but it doesnt.

Any idea where to look?

Update: seems like I (we?) have the same issue as @ piewarrior, after changing the blueprint locally they can be found.

Hi, I have this smoke detector paired thorgh ZHA, my device page looks like this:

It only shows battery level and binary for smoke/no smoke… Why do I not have options Linkage alarm, self test and buzzer etc?

[DAVIZINHO]

hello.
do you know if this problem was solved?

[DunkeDrengen]

Hi mate,

What did you exactly change in the yaml config?
I have the same problem, but i cannot seem to get it to work…
I’ve edited the.yaml locally with the following:
smoke_detectors:
name: DET_Z2M_01
description: The smoke detectors you want to link.
selector:
device:
model: ‘JY-GZ-01AQ’
multiple: true

But i still can’t find it in the drop down menu…
(can’t upload a picture cause new user)

[vansummeren (Arjen van Summeren)]

@DunkeDrengen, I did the same and changed the yaml locally as follows:

input:
    smoke_detectors:
      name: Smoke detectors
      description: The smoke detectors you want to link.
      selector:
        device:
          model: (JY-GZ-01AQ)
          multiple: true

(just the line with the “model”) and I was able to select all my smoke detectors.

Would be great, if this was updated in the official blueprint, @ciB

Thanks for the blueprint, will test it now.

Update:
I created a fork of the blueprint and added the updated selector and also the ability to select actions on_alarm and on_mute. - Needs testing.

Thanks so much for this post!

I’ve been struggling for months with an Aqara smoke detector that kept dropping off the zigbee network a few hours after power cycling, despite being feet from the coordinator. With this automation it has been online now for over 24 hours.
