Heiman Smoke Sensor Only Being Detected as "Thing"

miker1 · April 12, 2023, 1:32am

Hi all,

I’m relatively new to this, so forgive any silly questions.

I have purchased three Heiman Smoke Sensors (seen here)

It’s connecting to my Samsung SmartThings Hub v3, but is only detected as “Thing”. After some Googling, it appeared I needed to install Edge drivers to support it, which I did. I installed “Zigbee Smoke Detector” from “SmartThings Drivers (Beta)”.
I unpaired all three devices and re-paired one of them and it is still detected as “Thing”.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

also… consider using the following community developed tool instead of IDE:

SmartThings API Browser+ ... Now Available to All Apps & Clients

I have a browser-based web app that provides a point-and-click way to explore most of the SmartThings API. For the non-technical, this gives you access to an important SmartThings resource without having to learn tools like Postman, curl, or the CLI. You don’t even need a computer: a tablet or even smartphone can be used. For the more technically inclined, it provides much faster and more convenient access to those commonly-accessed CLI commands. Although I originally thought of it as a portal for the non-technical, I’ve actually found it quite useful to use during my own development activities. This is not intended as a replacement or ‘competitor’ to the CLI, mysmartthings, IDE(? well, maybe…), mobile app, etc, but is meant to provide a quick and easy supplemental tool. I want to a…

Life after the IDE: Questions and Answers How-To

With the transition to the new architecture, the IDE is in the process of being discontinued. Some features are already gone. Any device using new architecture, such as those using edge drivers, will just show up as “placeholder“ and the information will be incomplete or even inaccurate. (For example, it will probably say that all devices showing “placeholder“ are in the cloud, where in fact all edge drivers run local.) Don’t try to use the IDE to change anything that says placeholder: you might even break the integration altogether. http://my.smartthings.com is the new official webpage access to your smartthings account, but it doesn’t have all the same features as the IDE. So… how do you do the things that you used to do with the IDE now? This topic is a place to post those questions…

Thanks a lot! That’s all that was needed (using Mariano’s driver). I will look at the links you have provided as well. Thanks again, you saved me a lot of frustration.

Hello,

Please help me to make my Heiman Smoke Sensor to work. I have the model HS1SA-M. I have attached the info from the ST App. I have installed Zigbee Smoke/CO Detector Mc Driver but doesn’t work.

What can I do more?

Thank you.

Hello

It is working. It show the battery to. Thank you for your support. All the best.

zzr600 · June 14, 2023, 3:39pm

Hello,

After a couple hours the device become offline. I have 7 sensors and all do the same. After again a couple hours go back online. And this thing always repeat. When is offline if the sensor is triggered, then become online and alert in app.

@Mariano_Colmenarejo Do you know what could be?

Thank you.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · June 14, 2023, 5:04pm

Hi,

Did you uninstall devices and reinstall them with the driver or did you change the driver from zigbee thing Mc?

they must be installed directly with the driver to configure the periodic battery and IASZone reports.

zzr600 · June 14, 2023, 5:47pm

Hi

I deleted all the devices, installed the driver, and then installed the devices again. The application found them directly with the correct driver and directly with the name Heinman. I did not change the driver on the existing devices.

I think I did the correct installation.

The sensors work, but it’s very annoying to keep receiving notifications about online/offline.

Thank you.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · June 14, 2023, 6:09pm

These devices use the default settings for smoke detector, reporting intervals every 180 sec and battery every 6 hours.

I have 3 heiman detectors, similar to yours one and they have been working perfectly for 2 years.

The only thing I can do is analyze the pairing CLI logs of any of the devices if you send them to me, to see if the configuration is accepted or if there are any errors.

You can also look at the logs with the CLI and you would see the “clean” smoke messages and events every 180 seconds for each sensor, like these:

Hello,

I am not so technical that I can use CLI. Can I give you the necessary information from API Browser+? This is what I managed to install.

Thank you.

Don’t worry, you can try it, if you want, with this tutorial for PC’s windows.

It is to download a compressed .zip file
Unzip it and the file smartthings.exe move it to a folder where you can run it with the patch to that folder from Windows PowerShell terminal

Most of the users get to use it and it can be very useful in the future for managing drivers and many other functions.

Hi

I succeeded!!!

Below you can find the logs when initializing an device.

Thank you.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · June 14, 2023, 9:07pm

Unfortunately, this device does not accept the IASZone configuration, attribute 0x0002 and therefore does not send periodic reports of this attribute and therefore goes to offline status after a while without receiving those reports.

It does accept the battery configuration every 6 hours.

[/quote]

I have made a subdriver for this device to configure the battery reports every 5 minutes and the device does not go offline.

Since it is not going to send the IASZone reports every 3 minutes, it will only send the battery reports every 5 minutes and therefore it should not waste more battery.

Install this version of the driver with the CLI command smartthings edge:drivers:install and follow the steps that the screen will tell you.
Wait 1 minute to driver install procedure ends
Uninstall the device and reinstall it so that it is configured correctly.
If in 25 minutes it has not gone offline, it means that it has been configured correctly.
You will be able to see the messages and events of battery every 5 minutes.

If it works fine, you should uninstall and reinstall the rest of the devices

Hello,

I did the steps you mentioned. I think my operation was successful, because I see that the driver is the one you mentioned.

Unfortunately, it still does that in the sense that at some point it goes offline. After uninstalling all the sensors, I installed 2 to see how they behave. Exactly at 11:00 both went Offline. I have attached the log so you can see if you can identify anything. From 8:16 to 10:45 I deleted because there were too many data to upload

Thank you.

Mariano_Colmenarejo · June 15, 2023, 1:32pm

Hi @zzr600

I don’t know why the battery reports have not been configured correctly and it does not send them
install this driver version

Hi @Mariano_Colmenarejo

Finally, I installed the last driver you mentioned, it’s been more than 12 hours since no sensor went offline. I even installed the others. It works as it should.
Thank you very much for your support in solving this situation.

I wish you all the best.
