Zigbee2mqtt: Siren management

Feature requests

Hi,

I just bought an audible alarm: Woox R7051 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT

It is correctly detected over Zigbee by Gladys but there’s not much available…

Whereas Zigbee2mqtt offers quite a few things:

It would be nice to at least be able to activate and deactivate the alarm.
Did I miss something?
Because I don’t see it in the

Indeed, we don’t support sirens at the moment!

However, in the Zigbee2mqtt screenshot you showed, I don’t see anything that would allow triggering the siren?

It’s in the mode:

It’s true that it’s essential to manage the sirens when they’re coupled to smoke detectors, for example…

En fait, voici tout ce qui déclenche l’alarme :

Warning (composite)

Can be set by publishing to zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/set with payload {"warning": {"mode": VALUE, "level": VALUE, "strobe_level": VALUE, "strobe": VALUE, "strobe_duty_cycle": VALUE, "duration": VALUE}}

  • mode (enum): Mode of the warning (sound effect) allowed values: stop, burglar, fire, emergency, police_panic, fire_panic, emergency_panic
  • level (enum): Sound level allowed values: low, medium, high, very_high
  • strobe_level (enum): Intensity of the strobe allowed values: low, medium, high, very_high
  • strobe (binary): Turn on/off the strobe (light) during warning allowed values: true or false
  • strobe_duty_cycle (numeric): Length of the flash cycle max value is 10
  • duration (numeric): Duration in seconds of the alarm unit is s

@_Will_71 You’re the one who’s been active on the Zigbee PRs right now — if you want to give @Hizo a hand! :slight_smile:

Let’s say I’m doing easy

Hello @Hizo,
I’m looking into your Woos alarm on the zigbee2mqtt site, and I’m wondering whether the « alarm » property actually triggers the siren?

Alarm (binary)

Value can be found in the published state on the alarm property. It’s not possible to read (/get) or write (/set) this value. If value equals true alarm is ON, if false OFF.

Because I have the impression that the « Warning » properties you mention in the comment Zigbee2mqtt: Gestion des sirènes - #5 par Hizo only serve to configure the sound type, the duration, the light… but not to trigger the alarm.

Can you toggle the « alarm » option to true/false to see if it triggers the siren, and give us feedback?
Thanks

Hi, thanks.

However, clicking Apply triggers the alarm

On some models it triggers when you select the mode.
Also, for the mode you pass it « burglar », « fire », etc., and to stop it you send « stop » :slight_smile:

Thanks to both of you @Hizo @spenceur,
it must be fun to test the alarm at your place :stuck_out_tongue: it must be ringing all over the place :smiley:
I’ll see what I can do to integrate the alarm modes, I’ll keep you posted.

And until then, have a great Christmas Eve and Merry Christmas :slight_smile:

So I’m adding a request: if you can provide me the JSON that describes the device, you need to connect to the MQTT broker to see it, and it looks like the contents of mqttDevice :

Thanks :wink:

13

I’ll need more personalized explanations.

Would there be a way to make a PR that allows downloading a file that contains the complete JSON of an unmanaged device? :slight_smile: That would simplify this procedure

Are you talking about the « Suggest this device » button that allows you to create a GitHub issue directly with the JSON?

16

I think we already had that button on the Zigbee side but the problem was that the JSON payloads were often too large and so it made a GitHub URL so big that it didn’t work.

So if the GitHub URL isn’t possible, why not just a JSON download :slight_smile:

So, what do I need to do and how?

Hi @Hizo! @AlexTrovato just became a dad and has a bit less time now, so cut him some slack :smiley:

As it stands, I don’t know what you can do if you don’t have the skills to fetch the exposé. I was suggesting adding a button in the interface to display it simply with one click; after that it’s still a development task to do (open to any PR on the subject)

On my side, I’ll happily buy a siren for whoever wants to integrate it into Gladys!! (It’s €16 extra right now on Domadoo with the sales: https://www.domadoo.fr/fr/peripheriques/5682-woox-sirene-interieure-intelligente-zigbee-30-8435606701105.html?domid=17 )

I can take a look too, but you need to check the sensor’s expose because the zigbee2mqtt documentation isn’t accurate for all devices.
I had that happen with @Tlse-vins on his remote where the documentation doesn’t indicate the correct expose.

@Will do you want me to pay you for the siren? If so, send me your postal address in a DM + your mobile number for the delivery person :slight_smile:
