Do I read it right, that I will be able to trigger the alarm and also set it back to off? I just don’t want to buy another device which will not work like that and thus wanted to make sure.
Thanks in advance for your help.
BTW: Running openhab2 (openhabian) with a zwave stick Aeotec Gen5 ZStick attached.
My question is related to the Abus device and if I will have the same issue there, or if it will allow me to trigger the alarm with the Openhab Zwave binding.
Scenario: if it’s between 10PM and 5AM, light in cellar is off, but cellar window gets opened, trigger the alarm. Everything is in place, only the alarm device is missing… as I bought the Aeotec Doorbell and Alarm thingy.
As best as I can tell from the device database, this device just implements a switch, so it should be fine. I don’t have the device though so can’t comment from direct experience.
As far as you are aware, is the Siren 6 / Doorbell 6 now fully supported by the binding? I realize some work was needed to get it initially functioning.
No - the sound command class still needs to be added. This is required to change and trigger sounds. What was added was the ability to use it as a doorbell - ie for the device to send alarms to OH.
The default of the device is maximum sound level which is in a level of siren, so use it as a door bell without the ability to control the sound level is not really useful.
Hope you can really add the missing control soon so we can benefit from this product both as door bell and siren.
I see now that there are no parameters either, so it can’t be that… It looks like it’s just a simple siren so I’m surprised if you can actually change the volume, although I’m not familiar at all with this device.
Actually the device support volume adjustment but aeotec remove it on the latest specification due to conflict with other definitions.
See below the reply I got from aeotec support, is it possible to be add it to the device binding even there is no parameters?
Also, the Sound Switch Command Class is really necessary and useful to get fully operation of the device, a lot of good experience and feedback from other users using it with different platforms.
Unfortunately there is no parameter settings, we originally had them as a part of the parameter settings, but we needed to remove them as they conflicted with Sound Switch Command Class (in order for this unit to be certified, it required volume changes to be removed from parameters).
Refer to step 8, both Sound and volume should be sent together to set the sound and volume using “Sound Switch SET” command.
This is an example using Zensys Tools to configure Volume and Sound using the Sound Switch CC:
Hi @chris: just received the ABUS SHSG10000 and it works like a charm. Just two channels: switch for trigger/ release the alarm and second one for battery status (backup battery). Testet it as switch item for the first channel and I am able to trigger and release alarm with that. So pretty straight forward with that device.
Actually I’m not sure why we are discussing an Aeon device here? Is this device by Aeon or Abus? The only device I found in the database is from Abus .
