Hi,
After migrating almost 60 Zigbee devices from deCONZ II and HomeBridge to Home Assistant, I now wanted to finally pair my 3 Heiman Zigbee smoke detectors – but I ran into some issues.
They are from 2018 and should be type HS1SA-N. Currently, I can only check via VPN since I’m on a business trip and sitting in a hotel.
My current setup:
- Intel Nuc5 / 16GB RAM / 256GB SSD
- ZBDongle-E
- Zigbee2MQTT
- Software and plugins are up to date
1. Pairing
For each smoke detector, it took at least 3 attempts until they were paired without a warning (red exclamation mark).
2. Smoke detection flag
Test alarms were successfully detected, and the smoke detection flag was set.
However, it does not reset automatically. I can reset it manually, but it always switches back to on and triggers a critical alarm after every HA restart.
3. Integration failure
The smoke detector I tested now shows that it wasn’t properly integrated. I’ll try to re-pair it again this weekend.
Here are the logs when trying “Reconfigure”:
Error 2025-08-24 18:12:58 z2m: Failed to configure 'Rauchmelder Heiman - UG', attempt 2 (Error: Bind 0x00158d0004fd0fb6/1 genPowerCfg from '0x8c65a3fffe54c55d/1' failed (Delivery failed for '38556'.) at EmberOneWaitress.deliveryFailedFor (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/adapter/oneWaitress.ts:100:31) at EmberAdapter.onMessageSent (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/adapter/emberAdapter.ts:458:42) at Ezsp.emit (node:events:518:28) at Ezsp.ezspMessageSentHandler (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/ezsp/ezsp.ts:5076:14) at Ezsp.callbackDispatch (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/ezsp/ezsp.ts:734:26) at Ezsp.onAshFrame (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/ezsp/ezsp.ts:387:22) at UartAsh.emit (node:events:518:28) at Immediate.<anonymous> (/app/node_modules/.pnpm/[email protected]/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/ember/uart/ash.ts:1194:45) at processImmediate (node:internal/timers:485:21))
Interview error:

Do you have any idea what I could try?
Apart from this, I’m very happy and kind of regret waiting so long to switch over to HA. I was a bit afraid because of the 60 devices – it was quite a bit of work – but it was definitely worth it.
I’d really like to avoid keeping an extra Raspberry Pi with HomeBridge running just for these 3 smoke detectors.
