Help to Start--How do I add GoControl Devices to my System?

[emersonvier]

I Just start here, I have:

• 1 x Samsung SmartThings Hub
• 5 x Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor
• 1 x WA105DBZ-1 GoControl Z-Wave Siren and Strobe
• 5 x WADWAZ-1 GoControl Z-Wave Door/Window Sensor
• 2 x WAPIRZ-1 GoControl Z-Wave PIR Motion Detector
• 1 x Nest Learning Thermostat 3rd

For now I only connect Nest( I foolwing instrutions Nest Manager 4.0) and Samsung SmartThings Multipurpose Sensor.

I need help/directions to install other sensors.

Those are all standard Z wave devices. You can just follow the general instructions.

How to connect and configure new devices

You will need to check the owners manual for each individual device to see what you have to do with that device to complete the pairing (“inclusion”) process. Typically it’s pressing a button on the device, but you need to check each device’s manual.

I tried add WA105DBZ-1, “+ Add a Thing” then start to “Looking for device” after fews seconds show “Z-Wave Switch”, I remove and try again, only show me “Z-Wave Switch”.

That’s correct, the siren will initially add as a switch, because it can be turned on and off.

After you get it added if you want to change it to a device type handler that will give you control of more of the siren features, you can do that.

Here is the FAQ for using custom code:

FAQ: An Overview of Using Custom Code in SmartThings (SmartThings Classic)

So you’re new to SmartThings, you asked a question, and someone suggested “custom code” as an answer. Or you were browsing the forums, and you found something that sounded like it would be perfect for what you wanted, but again, “uses custom code.” What does that mean, how hard is it to do, and what’s the difference between a “SmartApp” and a “Device Type Handler”? (Note: the official terminology has changed a couple of times. “device type handler,” “device handler,” “DTH,” and “device type” all mean the same thing, and you will find all these terms used in the forums.)

And here is the thread where you can get a custom device type handler for the siren:

[RELEASE] GoControl Siren / Linear Siren / Vision Siren

This is a new device handler for the GoControl Siren, Linear Siren and possibly some other generic sirens. Model: WA105DBZ-1 This device handler supports the following capabilities: Alarm Battery Music Player Polling Switch Tone MAIN SCREEN [image] The main screen displays the current state of the device and allows you to turn on/off the Siren, Strobe, Siren/Strobe and also play the Beep tone. Be aware that there are settings that can override the functionality of the siren, strobe, and both buttons.

You can ask any follow on questions about the siren in that thread and people will be glad to help you.

I have this sensor also, and can’t find the device at all. I have it right next to my hub and press the tamper button for 1 second, nothing, 3 seconds, nothing… if I do it for a long time the alarm goes off so I know it is working, any suggestions? It searches and searches and doesn’t find it.
