Just came across the DH for the Honeywell smoke alarm after looking at the other thread about this device. So far everything seems to work just fine (thanks guys!) although I’ll need to get a can of smoke to do a proper test (which I’ll also use to test my other proper ‘dumb’ smoke alarms in the house).
As we in Australia don’t have z wave functionality on our ST hubs, I’m wondering if the smoke alarm could be pressed into service as a cheapish battery siren (it is loud) for other alerts once remote test/triggering can be implemented in the DH. What do you guys think?
I’m trying to get access to some of the other features the xiaomi smoke detector has, you can read a little more on the git if your interested. If I can get it to work then what you are suggesting should be possible… but still a work in progress. If you are using the DH from the bspranger git (the one at top of this thread) I’d be interested to have any feedback and test result for how this is working for you.
Yes read through the git issues thread and started looking into the structure of device handlers also and how to write them. I used the code from your fork. So far everything works great, paired easily. Otherwise I’ll test it with simulated smoke next week once I order a can of the stuff. Looking forward to further progress in due course!
So I just tested this with my round Xiaomi temp humidity using your most recent version w/ test fingerprints. Unpaired it and repaired.
Unfortunately
the fingerprints don’t do anything with mine - it still doesn’t even come up as a Thing so I have to do catchall
the Zigbee ID is not in the catchall (nor could I find it in hub events or live logging - at least at this pass) - nothing starting with 00158
I bought this back in April of last year - might be a really early version w/ little reported.
I have access to the Zigbee ID through my Xbee mapping of the system - it does indeed start with a 00158 as I’d expect - so I’ll plug it in from there.
Sorry!

PS - here’s the catchall just in case you’re curious and see a pattern I don’t
Aw, that’s a shame. And the Zigbee Id wouldn’t show up in that catchall. I’ve only seen it show up in a much shorter message that appears in the hub events log, and not every time that I try pairing a device, either.
I have actually bought a couple of round “original” temp/humidity sensors from @mckenph, that will show up next week, so I can do some further testing on variations of the fingerprint.
I have no idea, just thought It would be a great addition to my other Carbon Monoxide sensors that are hard wired. I have nothing in the room with the furnace, which bakes up to the garage.
Any love for the hub V1 for these devices? I have the Aqara 2 gen temp/humidity sensor, I 'm using this DVH. It pairs fine and shows the parameters, but after a few minutes 30-40min, it stops reporting.
Methane detection is stated in the Q&A for the product on Gear Best, and if you look through reviews, people posted photos of the power supply and complain about no option for using a battery.
Don’t know how I missed it, but WIRED published a very interesting article last December on Xiaomi, from the perspective of being a smart phone maker that went from dropping out of success to becoming wildly successful last year, while also expanding into a tremendous range of other types of products.
