@ktsi, Did your battery percentage ever show up in the end?
Joe was very helpful yesterday and changed both of my Fibaro Smoke Sensors from ‘Generic Z-Wave Device’ to the Fibaro, but my battery level has been 0% since which was more than 24 hours ago.
Also, I’m not 100% sure this device is configured correctly. When I look at it in ‘My Devices’ it shows under Data “configured: false”
Although I may be missinterpretting what this means. I’m new to all this.
EDIT: 36 hours later one of them is now showing as “configured: true” and the battery percentage shows within the app.
It’s started reporting the battery now, and shows as configured in the IDE. The only issue I’m having now is that it’s absolutely canning the battery. One is down to 65% and the other is down to 75% in less than a week. I thought these batteries were claimed to last 2 years+ !!!
Apparently there are 2 versions of the sensor. I have the old one, which apparently it is not supported. Of course this was not mentioned when I bought the sensor and now I have escalated it to their customer support.
Sometimes I tend to believe that they are not really professional.
Hello Support and all
I got a FGSS-001 Fibaro Smoke Sensor.
Had all the original problems associated with it as decried by others above, in the beginning the device registered/paring only as generic “Z-Wave device”, then I when online at the IED and changed:
The name
The Label
The type
Then undated and the device was seen by the app as a “Fibaro Smoke Sensor” with the relevant graphics in the app UI. BUT
The device is not configure corectly so i get the “Configuration; false” message on IED and no response in the app and no battary percentage “–/--”.
Is there a device handler for this to fix the device?
Why is the device not working if it is suppose to be supported?
Well got the official reply from Samsung - basically the 001 model is a ‘close’ z-wave architecture and will not work correctly with the ST - the 002 model is fine and will work out of the box.
So, learned my lesson, and 001 is going back and I’ve ordered an 002 for cheaper than the 001 strangely…
I think the battery readout settled down after a couple of weeks and sat steady at around 60%. I’d love to check for you now but they’re buried in a box somewhere as we’ve just moved house. Once I dig them out I’ll check and update you.
