Hey Tdj,
May you please advice me how did you connect Schneider wiser smoke alarm to the Home Assistant. I have no wiser hub, just a detector and not sure if I did correct steps to connect it through Zigbee.
Stor tack:-)
I did it through ZHA (Conbee II) and just added it like any other Zigbee device. Went to the ZHA integration, add device, pressed the button on the smoke detector for the right amount of time and it popped up in HA. No Wiser hub.

As Paul Haddon wrote above, it only provides some basic info. Through ZHA I see these entities: Smoke (yes/no) and temperature (not very useful as it seems to be rounded to the nearest degree and I’m doubtful about its accuracy). I also see the battery percentage.

I have been planning to buy some recently in order to test them but as I understood it you don’t get the auto-pairing of the radio connection when synced in ZHA instead of the Wiser hub, Instead you have to radio-pair them yourself.
Having dealt with Nexa rf-devices and the horrors of it I have some questions if you know:
- Does it matter which order you pair the devices?
Do you have to pair the rf-connection before adding them to ZHA, vice versa or does it not matter? - One of my largest gripes with Nexa is that it seems that you have to re-pair all your devices if you add another device to your Master in order for all of them to still notify each other. Is this something you’ve (or anyone else) noticed with these, or can you add additional later on and all of them becomes synched?
If we’re talking about the Schneider Wiser detectors, the radio did seem to auto-pair. I only added them via ZHA, and if I then turned off Home Assistant and did a test, both devices beeped.
I have recently bought another two detectors and added to ZHA but haven’t checked if they have radio-paired with the original master. Will do it when I get a chance in the daytime.
