First Alert ZCombo

Post by rohangreg »

Anyone had any luck getting these to work? I have two of them and have been unable to get a correct value since they were included in the network. I expected to get two alarm types one for smoke (0x1) and one for co(0x2), but have only gotten 13 and always triggered.

"V1event": {
"name": "V1event",
"value": null,
"type": "NoneType",
"alarmType": {
"name": "alarmType",
"value": 13,
"type": "int",
"invalidateTime": 1408058817,
"updateTime": 1409708705
},
"level": {
"name": "level",
"value": 255,
"type": "int",
"invalidateTime": 1408058817,
"updateTime": 1409708705
},
"invalidateTime": 1408058817,
"updateTime": 1409708705
}

V1 event type and level are taking directly from packet without any post-processing, so it is what device is sending. You can actually see it in the packet dump in the log file.

Also V1 events don't have any standards on types and levels, and are completely manufacturer-specific. It might mean anything, so you should refer your device documentation (or just guess) to know what it is.
For some devices there's a mapping of manufacturer-specific V1 events to standard V2 mappings in ZDDX file, but your device doesn't seem one of them.
