Cannot control Heiman sirene

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello, I’ve added an Heiman sirène to my HA with zigbee2mqtt but it only shows 2 entities:

  • max duration
  • Battery
    So I have no way to trigger the sirene :thinking:
    Any idea what I’m missing ?
    Thank you for your help

There’s a Z2M issue about this device on Github, but it’s quite old.

Thank you for pointing this out. I don’t have the exact same problem but this is not a good sign :disappointed:
Would you have a suggestion for a sirene as a replacement ? I’m currently using the buzzer of my smoke detector :grin:

I have this one:

It works well with ZHA, but I can’t comment on Z2M. (Mine doesn’t have temperature/humidity sensors.)

Thank you for your help. This is the one I’ve just bought to replace my Heiman.

The HEIMAN HS2WD-E Smart siren is simply fully compatible with Z2M
You can simply control it with MQTT commands.
I have been using this alarm for years without any problems.

I only get max duration and battery entities exposed when I paired the Heiman siren. What are the entities you get ? Do you have something else allowing to trigger the alarm ?

To activate the alarm, I use:

    - action: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: zigbee2mqtt/Siren/set
        payload: >-
          {{
            '{"warning": {"duration":180, "mode":"emergency", "strobe":false}}'
          }}

The alarm sounds for 180 seconds when set in emergency mode and the strobe is off.

To deactivate the alarm, I use:

    - action: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: zigbee2mqtt/Siren/set
        payload: >-
          {{
            '{"warning": {"duration":10, "mode":"stop", "strobe":true}}'
          }}

The alarm stops when the mode is stop, the strobe flashes for 10 seconds.

Thank you, I’ll try that. I was surprised the UI does not provide alarm or similar actions, everything needs to be done in script then ?
So you also only have 2 entities exposed ?

Yes, I have only 2 entities too.
Battery and Max Duration, but I don’t use them.

Thank you, I manage to get it working. Is there a way to adjust the volume somehow ?

Not that I know of.
The sound (95dB) is very loud.
