How to get Heiman Siren with ZHA to work

Jacob_nr.5 · March 18, 2021, 8:05pm

I tried the values today. I use ZHA and it did not do the trick.

Have you been able to make it work from Node-red? Mine is not working. Thanks in advance for your answer,.

raalsifar · May 18, 2021, 10:30pm

Can you share some screenshots? I was able to do the script but nothing happens whe I run it.
Thanks

Hi,
Here below the screenshots of my script to turn on the sound and flash.
Of course you need to fill in your own IEEE from the device.
ieee: use own address of the sirene

Options:
strobe: 1 (Strobe ON)
strobe: 0 (Strobe OFF)

mode: 1 (Sirene ON)
mode: 0 (Sirene OFF)

duration: time of the sirene / Strobe in seconds

~~Anybody else having issues with newest HA version and Heimann sirens dropped off from ZHA -network and can not be added/ paired again wih Conbee II?~~

Never mind, needed to powercycle and put into pairing modes few times the sirens and managed join them to ZHA-network again.

This worked for me.

Is there anyway to stop this? I had duration set to 5 seconds, and it continued past this, I think for about 30 seconds.
But will would like to be able to trigger a stop from HA

Hi Sean,

I use his script to turn it off:

alias: Alarm - Flash en Sirene 01 - Uit
sequence:
  - data:
      duration: 60
      duty_cycle: 2
      ieee: 00:0d:6f:00:XX:XX:XX
      intensity: 2
      level: 1
      mode: 0
      strobe: 0
    service: zha.warning_device_warn
mode: single
icon: mdi:volume-off

Thanks very much

I cannot seem to get this working. As a test I tried to reconfigure my device and these were the results.

This is my script:

office_smoke_alarm_on:
  alias: Office Smoke Alarm on
  sequence:
    - data:
        ieee: '84:2e:14:ff:fe:##:##:##'
        intensity: 2
        mode: 1
        level: 1
        duty_cycle: 2
        duration: 60
        strobe: 1
      service: zha.warning_device_warn  
  mode: single
  icon: mdi:volume-high

I am using

ZHA
Sonoff Zigbee bridge flashed with tasmota

Any guidance would be appreciated. I am trying to eventually make an automation if my office smoke alarm activates it will sound the siren in the bed rooms.

Hi Hans,

There is a small difference in the spacing, that can be your problem.
The sirene turned on, in my scripts.yaml, see below.

Best regards,
Jacob

alarm_flash_sirene_01_aan:
  alias: Alarm - Flash en Sirene 01 - Aan
  sequence:
  - data:
      duration: 60
      duty_cycle: 2
      ieee: 00:0d:6f:00:XX:XX:XX:XX
      intensity: 2
      level: 1
      mode: 1
      strobe: 1
    service: zha.warning_device_warn
  mode: single

Hello,
I bought the Heimen siren in order to pair with conbee 2 stick in deCONZ.
It is working fine but I can only turn on and off.
In the meantime, I bought a CC 2531 Sonoff Zigbee sniffer.
I am wondering if I should use zigbee2mqtt or ZHA from HA to have all data available to customize properly the siren?
Up to now zigbee2mqtt is the one working better as far as I read.

Jacob_nr.5 · December 5, 2021, 5:12pm

Hi,
I think and hope, that the siren is added to the ZHA devices and 100% integrated into Home Assistant.
The missing sensors like the battery is nice to have for me.
I use the ZHA and I will wait.

Best regards,
Jacob

nickrout · December 5, 2021, 8:50pm

The battery works with Z2M .

FYI, support for siren entities in ZHA integration component was just added to Home Assistant’s core:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/60920

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/zha-integration-to-use-siren-entity-platform-for-zigbee-sirens-doorbells-and-chimes/343075

Should make it into HA 2021.12 release https://rc.home-assistant.io/blog/2021/12/03/release-202112/

Update: It did make it into the 2021.21 release so if your device is not seen as a siren (even after remove and re-join it) then it need that specific device will probably need a custom quirk in ZHA Device Handlers, see → https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#zha-exception-and-deviation-handling

Hi,
Have you tried this siren after the recent update? I’m also using ZHA and looking to buy this siren

makai · December 16, 2021, 8:46am

Yes. Working fine

    - service: siren.turn_on
      target:
        entity_id: siren.siren
      data:
        tone: 1
        duration: 65535
        volume_level: 1

gr1nch · December 22, 2021, 8:52pm

Works first time for me, using ZHA and the developer tools - thanks @Jacob_nr.5 or sharing. I got the alarm to stop by issuing the stop command - as the duration of 5 seconds did not work. Now to integrate this with Alarmo!

leosedf · December 29, 2021, 12:55pm

@gr1nch have you managed to integrate this into alarmo? Mine runs fine with a script and it strobes but i don’t seem to be able to integrate it. In actions i am trying to make it call the script.

gr1nch · January 4, 2022, 10:43am

Not yet @leosedf as I moved from devices (Zbbridge & ZHA (which kept disconnecting clients) to CC2531 + zigbee2mqtt pending a Sonoff ZBDongle-P) and try as I might, the Siren is not getting recognized by the CC2531.

leosedf · January 4, 2022, 11:11am

Thank you for your reply.
I couldn’t make it work so far, the siren works fine and it strobes if i create a script and run it though.
