Iām in the middle of this project at the moment (Thanks for the efforts chopwood )
I bulk ordered 10 PCBs, so have 9 spare for anybody in the UK who wants one. (Central Scotland, if you want to pick up by hand )
EDIT
And I seemed to have hit the old āRadio not ready - Trying to resetā repeating message issue. Any ideas what to try? Is bypassing the Buffer for the CLK the solution?
EDIT2
Nope. Just tried replacing the shifter with a wire. Still not working
EDIT3
All working. Thanks to Clam58 for sending 2 of his Logic Converter boards. Looks like the ones I bought were no good.
Hi Chris, Iām new here, Iām from Germany and Iām using a translator. I really like the project, great work. I have the following question. Is it possible to translate the sketch for a raspberry pico? The background is one lying around here and if Iām not wrong, the level converters can then be omitted.
Thank you very much

I am looking at using an esp32 to talk directly to the radio unit.
I am currently using esp-idf, and I am planning on building a native esphome component later, but I am not sure the esp-idf SPI slave library is buggy.
I have set up the esp32 dev board and it is notified when another unit has the test button pressed, and the slave appears to receive 10 SPI transactions, but doesnāt receive any data from MOSI.
i.e.:
queue receive transaction on esp32
press test on ācompleteā alarm
receive transmission (*10)
2.1) nothing in received SPI buffer?
2.2) send ack on IRQ from esp32 (based on your code)
2.3) requeue another receive transaction
So based on that, I can be pretty sure the IRQ, CS, Clock are working but the MOSI/MISO seem broken.
There are a few setup parameters for the ESP32 spi slave that you might be able to help with (I donāt have a logic analyser yet):
I have also been able to āsend bytesā with pulling the IRQ high (and have tested this by unplugging the IRQ, beginning the transaction , plugging and seeing the transaction initiate), but I donāt see any results.
I have a āblack boardā, and I havenāt removed the battery. In one of your posts you mention a 4.7kOhm resistor on the CS/SS - is this important? I canāt see this in your board.
Does anyone in the UK have a spare complete setup? Iāve attempted to solder one up but think the logic boards are bad (or iāve cooked them). I canāt get them unsoldered to replace them and not sure if iāll have any better luck when i try to build a 2nd setup. The wisafe radio lights up but the andurino reports
No reply from radio. SPI Buffer= 0000000000000000000000000
Also if anyone needs some blank PCBās i have 3 spare.
PCB arrived from @sultanhq yesterday. Many thanks for that!!
Iāve got the level convertors and now just waiting on the Arduino.
Iām new to the Fireangel system and I have 6 mains alarms and 3 battery. One mains contains an RF and the 3 battery also contain RF. Within the mobile app I am able to see the mains that has the RF along with one of the battery (that I added to the app - Iāve not done the others yet). Should I expect to see the other mains within the app too?
Finally back from holiday and soldered the PCB this morning. I couldnt get it going at first, HA was getting in a twist over the 3 ttyUSB for this, Zigbee and ZWave. All sorted now and finally showing as Online. Iāll hopefully be able to get the IDs tomorrow without annoying everyone with beeping alarms.
Hi All,
Iām so close to a working system. Built the PCB, paired to alarms, seen it all working and responding in a serial terminal. Iām just failing at the final hurdle. When I plug it into my home assistant running on raspi 4. I can see the TTY device listed in the hardware page of home assistant. But I get a recurring error in the logs that suggests there is two apps trying to access the port?
Error while reading serial device /dev/ttyUSB1: device reports readiness to read but returned no data (device disconnected or multiple access on port?)
I can even connect over minicom (if i disable the integration) in home assistant. Seems the serial integration is at fault?
Any clues or help greatly appreciated. I also have 4 spare boards. DM me if you want one.
I may have just answered my own questionā¦ I had the ssh/terminal add-on running. I had installed the optional minicom package. Even though this wasnāt running, the interface was always offline.
But, I removed the minicom package and restarted the ssh/terminal addon, and suddenty the interface connected and is reporting the status of the alarms! Hurrah!.
Anyone had any experience with this and mixing wired/WiSafe2 networks? I have all wired alarms with the gateway and a couple of battery CO2 alarms. According to the documentation I can only pair 1 alarm from the wired network with the WiSafe2 wired alarms even though they all have WiSafe2 modules. Pairing them all while wired results in eprom errors in the app.
So my question is. Has anyone tried this with a wired + wireless network? If so can individual devices be detected on the wired network rather than the 1 device thatās paired to the WiSafe2 network?
I have the same setup and I was struggling with exactly the same problem. They way I did it is to pair all your wireless devices and then pair one of them with one of the wired ones.
