Support for Tuya smoke detectors

[domerich]

@Galapalos

and it seems that nedis uses " wrong" device category in their detectors and that’s why it is unsupported.

Because of that I flashed tasmota to nedis smoke detector. Not ideal that either, because detector is normally unavailable in HA (

what firmware did you flash exactly?

Hi,

I used this guide to flash tasmota.

Nedis Smoke Detector Smoke Sensor (WIFIDS10WT) Configuration for Tasmota

[domerich]

thank you the flasing worked. However, I will only get unknown status in Home Assistant. Any idea?

on MQTT Explorer it shows

tasmota_87A520

LWT = Offline

INFO1 = {"Info1":{"Module":"Nedis WIFIDS10WT","Version":"12.2.0(tasmota)","FallbackTopic":"cmnd/DVES_87A520_fb/","GroupTopic":"cmnd/tasmotas/"}}

INFO2 = {"Info2":{"WebServerMode":"Admin","Hostname":"tasmota-87A520-1312","IPAddress":"192.168.178.180"}}

INFO3 = {"Info3":{"RestartReason":"Software/System restart","BootCount":56}}

RESULT = {"TuyaReceived":{"Data":"55AA000000010101","Cmnd":0,"CmndData":"01"}}

STATE = {"Time":"2022-10-20T16:41:13","Uptime":"0T00:00:11","UptimeSec":11,"Heap":23,"SleepMode":"Dynamic","Sleep":50,"LoadAvg":19,"MqttCount":1,"POWER":"ON","Wifi":{"AP":1,"SSId":"xxx","BSSId":"xxx","Channel":6,"Mode":"11n","RSSI":100,"Signal":-48,"LinkCount":1,"Downtime":"0T00:00:05"}}

Following exact same issue here.

Edit:
Just my first short dive in to this issue.
The smoke detector publishes data into topic:
Topic: “homeassistant/binary_sensor/E8DB84BCA915_test/config”
But there is no data in this topic for example:
“state_topic”:“stat/%topic%/TEST”

At least if I look in MQTT if it receives a payload there is nothing.

Hi, I wonder if in the meantime there is a solution to this. I also flashed the NEDIS smoke detectors. And I’m getting ‘unavailable’ for all the diagnositc parameters.
If I look at the MQTT explorer, I don;t see any MQTT messages coming by.
So I get the impression that the smoke detectors is just not sending any messages at all.

It works after I rebooted HA. Initially it showed unavailable.in HA.

I had the same issue, and there is a easy fix…

Go to you developer portal for tuya…
Go to Cloud → development, than open you project (used for Home assistant)
Go to Devices

Hover over you Smoke detector in te section "View Devices by Product.
"
Click on the pencil icon (Change Control Instruction Mode)
It is default set on “Standard Instruction” change it to “DP Instruction”
Now you see that the table is filled, also with smoke_sensor_state… Which you need for HASS.

It will give you a warning , just ignore

Now go to home assistant and restart, after the restart you will find the smoke detector state in HASS…

Good luck!

Huh that is a pretty easy solution for us that don’t want to flash (or cant). Worked on my nedis WIFIDS10WT!

I followed your steps and the Nedis Smoke detector is found in Home Assistant.

However, it has no entities so it’s not possible to use it for anything. Do you know what I could do?

I can’t find “smoke_sensor_state” in the Tuya table after changing to DP Instruction either.

I haven’t flashed my WIFIDS10WT.

I see this in the Developer:

But in the Tuya integration there is not support for “smoke_sensor_state”, as there is for “battery_state”

sparrow:/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/tuya# grep battery_state *
grep: __pycache__: Is a directory
const.py:    BATTERY_STATE = "battery_state"  # Battery state
icons.json:      "battery_state": {
sensor.py:        translation_key="battery_state",
strings.json:      "battery_state": {
grep: translations: Is a directory
sparrow:/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/tuya#

For a somewhat skilled programmer, it should be possible to fix that (I am not that one)… by adding similar entries for smoke_sensor_state
