I just bought a FibaroFGSD002 smoke sensor and added it using “Add node secure”.
There are many different sensors. Is there anyone who can tell me what the different sensors are?
I don’t have one, but based on my experience with other devices I’ll explain what they’re likely for. You can find out some more in the documentation too, and look in <> (dev-states).
zwave.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor - any entity starting with zwave. is the control node representing the hardware device. Mostly this is used for tracking the battery level (for battery powered devices), and when you’re updating settings.
binary_sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_sensor_2 - the binary_sensor. entity is the one that indicates a detection for the device’s primary purpose. For a multi-sensor, that’s normally motion, for a smoke sensor, that’ll be smoke detection.
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_burglar_2 - for reporting if the case has been opened
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_general_2 - could be for anything
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_heat_3 - these are likely reporting two different heat sensors.
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_power_management_2 - reports the power status
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_smoke_3 - these two are likely two smoke sensors
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_sourcenodeid_2 - you can always ignore a sourcenodeid entity.
sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_temperature_2 - will be reporting the temperature the device measures.
No idea what the general and system entities report, but if you can share what they show in the dev-states view, I can likely help you work it out.
Did you ever find out what the binary sensor is for?
(binary_sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_sensor_2)
I also have this smoke detector and I don’t think the binary sensor is for smoke detection. For smoke I use the sensor sensor.fibaro_system_fgsd002_smoke_sensor_smoke_3 in my automations…
Could you let me know how you do that? I just tested and the mentioned sensor goes from 254 to 0, but remains at 0 even 15 minutes after the alarm went off…
