Central topic for questions/discussing the FireAngel App. You can use this topic to ask questions and share your experiences with using the app.
This app is developed by @Doekse and currently only works on Homey Pro. We’ve reached out to FireAngel to explore making this official and adding support for Homey Cloud
Good to know:
This app currently supports only the ZB-module (Zigbee) and ZW-module (Z-Wave). Wi-Safe modules, which use FireAngel’s proprietary wireless standard, are not supported.
The ZB-module can be a bit tricky to pair. If capability values remain empty (null) after inclusion, perform a self-test on the alarm once. If it still doesn’t work, reset the module and run a device repair in Homey. This is related to IAS Zone enrollment which doesn’t always play nicely.
Ik have already added my fireangel zwave modules to the homey network before your app existed (but of course without any working functionality). Is there a way to connect the app to these devices without having to take the devices off the ceiling?
In regards to flows: Is there a possibility to also have ‘then’ actions in the flow. I would like to have to sync the alarm with other smoke detectors in the house, similar like is done here
Unfortunately, FireAngel devices cannot be triggered directly from Homey.
However, with the Z-Wave variants, you can link them together using a Z-Wave Association. This makes it so that when one device is triggered, all others will trigger as well.
You can configure this in the device’s advanced settings. For FireAngel devices, use Association Group 3**.
I’m trying to figure out how this works. Not an expert on this. Could you help me out a little?
for example: if smoke sensor with node ID 123 gives alarm and it must wake up and start the alarm with sensor node id 124, what should I put in association group 2 in homey?
For 123, you enter 124 in Group 3. For 124, you enter 123 in Group 3. Essentially, for each node, you specify which other node should receive the notification.
