First Alert Smoke and CO2 Alarm--What does each node mean?

Featured Replies

Posted

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.

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)

 

 

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.

No, not using Insteon Smoke Bridge. This is a Z-Wave alarm that connected through the Z-Wave dongle. 

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.
