@The_Cowman now I see you picture good. Select “Een alarm type ging aan”
Alarm type, select the correct sensor option

See the second image, I already did. The tag " Alarm" and “Apparaat” is not available.

You can see in the card the symbol of zones

I understand that, but the tag “Alarms” is not available as an option, while that is the function to be used here. Otherwise I cannot trigger a flow if that tag is not available.
Ok, it is possible, but than I have to include all smoke sensors individually, but the idea here is to prevent that and to use one card / trigger to rule them all.

Which ones are available? In my setup I see ‘rookmelder’

" Rookmelder" is available, but I only have two accompanying tags, which doesnot include ‘Alarm’ and ‘Apparaat (device)’, while those are available in the examples of Weide43 and DirkG.

I have a Homey Pro 2023. And see this indeed:
Maybe the homey-version or the number of devices you have??

Might that be the difference? I’ve the Homey Pro 2019.
Still kind of weird, I thought that there wasn’t a difference in basic functionality.

I got also a HP 2023, but you can do it like the first way

I created a flow where as soon as one smoke detector fires, I save the dim level of every lamp in the house and then turn them on to 100%, and I also at least unlock the door so it can be easily opened from the inside for a quick exit. If it was false alarm because of cooking for example, then as soon as the last fire alarm is turned off, all lamps return to their previous state.
(I currently own only one fire alarm, but I have plans to add a few more)

I try to set up a flow for my smoke- and heat alarms, but I don’t see the
“Rookmelder van **een** apparaat is ingeschakeld” card (Smoke detector of a device is turned on")
But only the “Rookmelder van **elk** apparaat is ingeschakeld”-card (Smoke detector of any device is turned on"). I have super-user turned on and read the old posts, but still no clue in my brain. Someone any idea what i do wrong?

The English _ **Any** _ means, in Dutch, ‘één of meer’, or ‘welke dan ook’.
When “Rookmelder van **elk** apparaat” is Homey’s Dutch translation for **any** , it’s very off.
**elk** is Dutch for **each**
(I’m Dutch btw ☺ )

Ok, you got me… You’re right, I made a mistake… “elk” in Dutch, is “ each” in English.
But still, I miss the card “Rookmelder van een apparaat is ingeschakeld” (one device)
That question/issue remains open.
(And yes, we both are dutch. But as this is a englisch topic I try, with mixed succes)

I use Frient smoke and heat detectors on HP 2023 with vs. 12.3.2.

I believe the card that you want is with the device itself. I have Netatmo smoke detectors and I have these two cards available:
But Frient also have device specific when cards:
> **[frient](https://homey.app/nl-nl/app/com.frient/frient/)**
>
> High-quality sensors, alarms, and smart plugs
I also created this script to check how many smoke alarms are active:
```auto
const devices = await Homey.devices.getDevices();
const activeFireAlarms = Object.values(devices).filter(device => {
return device.capabilitiesObj &&
device.class === 'sensor' &&
Object.values(device.capabilitiesObj).some(({title, value})=> {
return title === 'Smoke alarm' && value !== null
})
})
return activeFireAlarms.length === args[0]
```
if you want to check if all smoke alarms are on, or only the first one you can use it like this:

Thanks @Dsdevries. New approach for me.
Still, here, I do not see or cannot find the “Any device’s smoke alarm turned” -card.
The Frient cards are there, but that generates a lot of cards in the flow and I tried to avoid that as was suggested higher up in this topic.
And scripts are quit far out of my comfort zone. Maybe i’ll try now….

The card is under the Zones. it is called: “Any device’s [alarm] turned on”. You have to select Smoke alarm from the dropdown after you picked the card.

Yeah, I know (and knew) where to look for it. That was not the problem.
The problem is tha this specific card simply is not there (in my situation).
Obviously it is not a common issue.
I really dont get it. The only thing that I can think of now is that someting went wrong when migrating from HP 2019 to HP 2023.
I think I will try this card and see if it does the right thing…

The card is a completely different card (and location where to get it) compared from 2019 to 2023, so that might indeed be the case that the migration didn’t work properly
