Before you bought it, did you check whether it’s currently supported here or here?
It is supported by Z2M:
With those aforementioned useless settings:
Detected noise level. Value can be found in the published state on the
noise_levelproperty. It’s not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. The possible values are:silent,normal,lively,noisy
would you please also ask it to our friend who suggested it? or do you expect us to check several other sites, for every post we see?
this is the second time, i am being lessoned for trying a product without checking some links which are apparently guranteed to be true and up to date all of the time. Well, now I know.
Whenever i buy something, the thrill of trying to get it to work plus the various peripheral things I learn along the way, has always been rewarding.
after i was schooled with similar attitude, i had stopped using this community for months. now i gave it another go and i resent it immediately.
be kind.
“our” friend only mentioned he found it online - he never mentioned whether it was compatible.
It’s not several sites - it’s two sites, and you only really need only one of them (blakadder’s site if you use ZHA and the actual Z2M site if you use zigbee2mqtt). Pick whichever integration you’re using and just bookmark the site for future reference.
If you’re using Z2M, the poster above yours already confirmed it’s supported (though double check the model number).
No one is schooling you, though my question might have come across as sarcastic. The only “schooling” I can offer is not to rely on the product’s support team to tell you whether their device is compatible with HA.
They honestly don’t know and don’t care, and this could lead to misleading info when saying “currently it is a no go for home-assistant”

hello this is kinda off the shelf
I use a homemade esp32 sound sensor and its working perfectly for me to detect loud noises: https://github.com/stas-sl/esphome-sound-level-meter
there is a fork of it that uses a M5Stack Core2 AWS, maybe that can work? check here: AtomS3U microphone · Issue #26 · stas-sl/esphome-sound-level-meter · GitHub
i don’t have a M5Stack so i have not tried this myself.
plan B just get a esp32 and a INMP441 and then buy a cheap smoke alarm or something rip, out the internals and then just put the esp32 thing inside it…

Using the Tuya App, the product gets on your local wifi.
Using the Tuya Integration, it integrates well.
Device originally detected CO2, so DB sensor looks like a CO2 sensor (icon), just rename the sensor, pick an icon, and you are done.
