Anyone that have any experience connecting the Fibaro smoke sensor(z-wave)?
I have few wallplugs from Fibaro that connects just fine, but the Smoke Sensor comes up as unknown device and only shows Initializing…, I’ve removed it, and added it again, tried a lot.
If I remember well I had to reboot before they were properly showing up. Now I have them as:
FIBARO System FGSD002 Smoke Sensor (Node:19 Complete)
Also they are battery powered so if you manipulate them somehow in HA you have to wake them up or they don’t ‘get’ the command. I think I’ve also read somewhere that a heal network helps also.
After a reboot you should have the naming okay, their state will be cacheload initializing for quite a while as battery powered only send out their status ever so often to conserve battery life.
I had a fire in my water boiler. When opening the electronic panel hatch a one-meter flames stood out and the sparks flying. So installed a smoke senor above the boiler and used a smart plug for the boiler. This way if the smoke alarm goes of the smart plug cuts the power and sending a message

Wow! Hope all went well Thanks for sharing! I am a little lost as to what all the entities are… What is the difference between alarm_level and smoke sensor?..
I have no overview for the rest of the sensors. Get yourself a cigar, light it up, and blow at the smoke sensor. Monitor what’s happening with the values in HA.
