BobM99 Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I was able to connect add this alarm to ISY, but I'm not completely sure what each node does. The manual says nothing. Although it may seem self-explanatory, I want to assure that I correctly set up a notification for smoke, CO2 and maybe low battery. Many thanks. Bob ---------------------------------------------- The nodes are as follows: Notify Sensor (which shows the battery level) Smoke Alarm 1 (reads idle) Smoke Detected 1 (reads off) Smoke Alarm Test 1 (reads off) CO Alarm 1 (reads idle) System Alarm 1 (reads idle) Hardware Failure Alarm 1 (reads off)
Techman Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Are you using the Insteon Smoke Bridge? The only nodes that really matter are SMOKE DETECTED, CO2 ALARM and LOW BATTERY. I have the Insteon smoke bridge (2982-222), and my nodes are a little different than what you've posted, but basically the same. I'm not sure that the ISY would respond to the nodes other than the ones I've mentioned.
BobM99 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 No, not using Insteon Smoke Bridge. This is a Z-Wave alarm that connected through the Z-Wave dongle.
Techman Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 The ISY doesn't always recognize all the Zwave nodes from a device. What series Zwave dongle do you have? I wouldn't worry about the other nodes. What's the make and model of your smoke detractor as Iwas thinking of moving over to Zwave detectors.
BobM99 Posted October 30, 2022 Author Posted October 30, 2022 Hi Techman, Thanks for the help. This is the smoke detector: https://www.amazon.com/Z-Wave-Detector-Carbon-Monoxide-Generation/dp/B08FFB233Y Also, I am attaching a document from First Alert labeled confidential (!) which has some technical information. Have a good day. Bob BRK_ZCOMBO_Z-Wave_Specification_V2.pdf
