Linkind zigbee alarm starter pack

Patrick1610 · December 16, 2021, 1:43pm

Hi @GSzabados and @Hasshun! I came across this thread and was wondering: will you be working on the siren or does it seem impossible to integrate in z2m? Really happy with the possibilities for the sensors and keypad, so I’ll definitely be using that once my kit arrives (they have a very nice sale right now!)

GSzabados · December 16, 2021, 1:57pm

The siren is built into the Hub.

Here is how you can hack the Hub to have access the underlying OpenWRT.

I haven’t figured out how the siren can be triggered from the OpenWRT.

Twinsen68 · February 23, 2022, 5:18pm

So you could hack the siren and use it in HA ?

GSzabados · February 23, 2022, 9:15pm

@Twinsen68, Someone just asked the same on the github discussion, but unfortunately not. I haven’t had too much time to tinker with it since.

Hi all, did you solved the issues with the keypad? On the Z2M web site is reported that It is supporter. Do you know if it works well?

GSzabados · May 29, 2022, 7:47pm

There is an issue open in Z2M that the keypad disconnects from the network after a while when connected directly to the coordinator, but otherwise it works well.

Have a look here:

Thanks for the information
I’m not sure if I understood well, I got there is an issue open in Z2M but I didn’t understood if the blue print you suggested to me solve this problem

This is the issue:

github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt

Connection to Linkind ZS130000078 lost after some hours/days

problem stale

### What happened? The keypad is successfully paired and known to z2m. It can b…e used to enter codes, switch arm modes etc. without issue. But after a couple of days (for others one or a couple of hours), out of the sudden, it is not able to communicate to z2m anymore. The red "network" LED is blinking that it usually uses to signal that the keypad has to be initialized (e.g. via send "disarm" payload) first. But sending the payload is not able to init it again. Only after resetting/repairing it with z2m makes it work again. While the keypad is not able to reconnect, z2m can still receive its health status messages though. At the time, the keypad disconnected, the follow log was printed in z2m: ``` error 2022-03-02 20:14:00: Error: CommandResponse 0x588e81fffe21eede/1 ssIasAce.getPanelStatusRsp({"panelstatus":0,"secondsremain":0,"audiblenotif":0,"alarmstatus":0}, {"sendWhen":"active","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":true,"direction":1,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Data request failed with error: 'MAC no ack' (233)) ``` Followed by those, when trying to send the usual disarm payload: ``` error 2022-03-02 20:21:13: Error: CommandResponse 0x588e81fffe21eede/1 ssIasAce.getPanelStatusRsp({"panelstatus":0,"secondsremain":0,"audiblenotif":0,"alarmstatus":0}, {"sendWhen":"active","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":true,"direction":1,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Data request failed with error: 'No network route' (205)) ``` There is already a [discussion](https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/discussions/11453) going on, where 2 other guys having similar issues and also reporting that they can see similar errors in the logs. We're running out of ideas what might cause this. ### What did you expect to happen? Connection between the keypad and z2m is not lost. ### How to reproduce it (minimal and precise) Init the keypad and use it for a couple of hours/days. Maybe also with long idle pauses in between. At some point it should disconnect. ### Zigbee2MQTT version 1.23.0 ### Adapter firmware version 20220103 ### Adapter SONOFF 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ### Debug log _No response_

The Blueprint works.

If the Blueprint would solve it then there wouldn’t be an issue.

But seriously, if the keypad is connected to a repeater, but not directly to the coordinator then there seems to be no issues.

Elle · May 30, 2022, 5:45am

Got It but is there a way to force the keypad to be connected to a repeater and not to a coordinator?

GSzabados · May 30, 2022, 7:31am

In Z2M there is a way, but I am not sure about ZHA or DeConz.

Elle · May 30, 2022, 12:47pm

Perfect, I have the conbee2 but I’m using z2m. Do you have a link to the documentation to set the use of coordinator and repeater?

GSzabados · May 31, 2022, 8:16pm

All what I know as documentation.

But I am talking about the option what you see when you open the drop down in the UI.

Select any of the repeaters in the list and then press Permit to join.

Like this:

The devices paired will join the network through that repeater.

Elle · June 6, 2022, 11:01pm

Thanks to your suggestions the keypad is perfectly integrated in my alarm system
Now I would like to reuse the hub siren, I was thinking to modify the hub in order to activate the siren through an esp32.
I saw the images where you disassemble the hub and I’ve a couple of questions.
Once removed the zigbee module are available contact through which I could activate/command the siren?
If Yes do you have an image to show It to me?
How could I disassemble the siren without destroy the case?

GSzabados · June 7, 2022, 7:01am

If you have never updated the Hub, I mean you have never connected it to Linkind services, then scroll down to the bottom of the discussion.

Someone managed to get the default password for the stock OpenWRT.

Someone else managed to trigger the siren through one of the built in services.

GSzabados · June 8, 2022, 1:28pm

@Elle, I will be unable to give hands on help with this, because I don’t have the Hub in hand for a while. But if you haven’t updated the firmware of the Hub, then you should be able to log in to the OpenWRT with the password listed in the opening post of that discussion. If you have updated the firmware of the Hub, then you will need to contact one of the guys in the discussion, that how was managed to enable dropbear to access again the OpenWRT.
I am unsure that the uBoot has been locked or not, that could have been some other communication issue.
For triggering the siren, you can try first the command listed in the discussion’s end somewhere, and you can build some automation to run commands on the device from HA, so anything is possible.

Elle · June 9, 2022, 8:47pm

I never turned on the hub, I bought the kit just for the keypad .
I will try to follow the discussion
Really thanks for your help.

GSzabados · June 9, 2022, 9:05pm

Then you should be good. Plug in the Hub, connect to the Wifi network what it creates. (I use a mobile phone most of the time.) Use Fing (app) to check the devices on the Wifi network. Check what ports the device has open, if 80 is open, then navigate to the IP address of the device and use root as username, and the password mentioned in the discussion. To connect to your own Wifi network, just set it up with the OpenWRT what is on it.

Personally I disabled the Linkind services on the Hub to do not “call to home”.

Good luck! Please report back how you proceed. Especially with the default password, as I never tried that.

Elle · June 19, 2022, 3:25pm

Hi, I’ve been able to connect to the Siren and command it! but I did not understand how I can deactivate the linkind services and make the siren work with my home wifi. could you help me?
attached the image of what I can see once connected to the siren.

GSzabados · June 23, 2022, 3:44pm

Sorry for the late reply. I cannot really help with the full answer, because I don’t have access at the moment to the Hub to guide you through.

You should find the menu, where it lists the installed and running services. You need to disable the Linkind ones. Unfortunately, as I don’t have access to the Hub, I cannot give a full list.

But these are as I can read from this Github repo:

device
eagent
lagent
lds-keyring
ota
security
smart
subdevice
zipgateway
zware

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/base-system/managing_services

To join your Wifi network, you need to bring up the Wifi settings, turn on the Wifi connection and connect the device to your local Wifi network, save the settings and then disable the Linkind AP.

Here is a generic OpenWRT instruction how to connect to Wifi networks:

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wifi/connect_client_wifi

Once you connected it to your Wifi network, check connection to other device with ping, etc. Then disable the AP. Save settings and then restart a few times. If you did it correctly all 3 LED lights should be green and you should be able to access the Hub from your network, and the AP will not be active anymore.
If the Wifi fails to work, then just power cycle, if it is still not working after, then reset the Hub and do it again. I struggled a bit until I managed to connect it to the my Wifi.

Elle · June 25, 2022, 2:49pm

Thanks for your suggestions
I’ve been able to find the list of services (going to the web interface, cliccking on system and selecting startup) and disabled the Linkind services (I hope so, but in any case at least the otap one is for sure disabled) then I tried to connect to my home network but I’m unable to do it, in the menu wifi I didn’t find the network and when I click on scan it give me back a blank page.
Do you know what I’m doing wrong in trying to connect the siren to my home wifi?
