Heiman smoke alarm HS1SA-E new features in ZHA and Z2M

Thanks so much for the kind words — really glad to hear the community engagement is being appreciated! :raised_hands:

On the HS1SA lineup, that’s a great question. We understand that the differences between HS1SA-E, HS1SA-EF, and HS1SA-M — especially in terms of roadmap and future capabilities — aren’t always very clear. We’re working on putting together a more structured overview that outlines both current differences and what each model is targeting moving forward. I’ll share more details with the community as soon as we have something concrete.

Regarding grouped alarm triggering: this is a very valuable use case, and we completely agree with your point about independence from Home Assistant. A direct interconnection between detectors (so that one alarm can trigger others even without a hub or power) is definitely the kind of safety-first feature we’re actively evaluating. While I can’t confirm specific implementation details just yet, this feedback is very much aligned with what we’re hearing from others as well.

Thanks again for taking the time to share such thoughtful input — it really helps shape what we prioritize next. Looking forward to keeping the conversation going! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hello,
I would like buy a Zigbee version but the last one : with the possibility to mute or to test the alarm from Home Assistant. What is the good version ? I saw on zigbee to mqtt, it should be HS1SA6EF : Heiman HS1SA-EF control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT . But where can I find it ? Or is it the HS1SA-E plus ? Thanks,

Thanks for commenting.
The new model with a plenty of exposes are named the HS1SA-E Plus, it’s been waiting for stock on Heiman Amazon Shop, it will be available in Europe, let me check when it’s available.

How to identify it?

Regarding the model: the model is a little bit confusing, after the beta test, we have updated the model in both of Z2M and ZHA, it will expose model name of HS1SA-E-PLUS in HA, that will makes it more clear to identify.

About the Beta samples, we will publish an OTA , it will be also updated to “HS1SA-E-PLUS”.

It is currently only sold in Europe.

Thanks Yury,
That means a lot for us.

Sure Leo. Also I successfully updated firmware via OTA + Z2M itself and now it is a PLUS :slight_smile:

yeah, the new HS1SA-E-PLUS should be able to plug and play for both Z2M and ZHA integration, the firmware v2.2 has released on both of Z2M and ZHA, it has fixed those issues for beta samples.

if someone is willing to use AI to generate blueprint, automation, dashboard would be cool.

Hello Yuri, could you please provide more information on how you performed the OTA upgrade using Z2M?

Hi, the usual way. Notification popped up in HA - click “Update” and done.

Hi Leo,
I’ve been following your posts with great interest for quite some time now, as I also want to be able to trigger an alarm. Unfortunately, I bought an HS1SA-E too early, which doesn’t have this function. How can I find the new HS1SA-E Plus in the (german) Amazon Heiman store? I can only see the version HS1SA-E.
