Configuring a First Alert Z-Wave Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Alarm

Configuration Z-Wave

I bought a First Alert Z-Wave Smoke Detector & Carbon Monoxide Alarm last week, and while I was able to get it to join my Z-Wave network, in the device list, it appears as “Node 10” and doesn’t have any sensors associated with it.

I did some searches, and there are some notes on how to set up the custom configuration for the old Z-Wave integration (e.g., First Alert Smoke Detector and Carbon Monoxide Alarm Setup - Configuration / Z-Wave - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

But that doesn’t work with ZWave JS, and I haven’t been able to find anything equivalent.

So - How can I do this?

It needs to complete the interview for entities to be discovered. Pull the battery tray, hold down the test button and re-insert. Maybe need to do it multiple times.

To be clear - do I need to remove/readd the device from Home Assistant before pulling the battery? Or just pull the battery w/o doing anything from Home Assistant?

No, just let it finish the interview with that procedure.
