There is an update for the Homey Trust app that adds product ID’s for smoke detectors:
Hopefully that helps for the users here above?
Almost great… Smoke detecter can be added but doesn’t trigger when the alarm goes off. Maybe this will be fixed before the official release of the new app-version.
Sounds like progress at least…
Would be good to let Athom know, so they can fix it.

Hi Walter, I have two of those Trust SMOK_V16… but cannot send them back anymore. I decided to use them seperately with the tust app, it’s a pity…
If you do find a solution or already found a solution… I would gladly hear about it!!!

Haha I though let me give the smoke sensors a try again (app version 1.4.1) and yes the SMOK_V16 can be connected ie they are recognized now - but testing the alarm doesn’t trigger any flow. So still useless…
So no progress then with regard to the previous version…
Took the time to ask Athom again - because having non functional ZSDR-850’s in Homey gives a false sense of security so I removed them and added them to a trust gateway - at least now they work and I get notified via the Trust app…
I have this Nedis version of the Smoke detector https://nedis.com/en-us/product/safety-and-security/detectors/smoke-alarm/550782095/smartlife-smoke-detector-zigbee-30-battery-powered-sensor-life-cycle-10-year-en-14604-max-battery-life-60-months-85-db-white-1-pcs .
I don’t use it with Homey because it gives me a false sense of security. If I remove the battery to simulate a problem Homey thinks everything is ok. With Nedis hub and app I get an alarm that the smoke detector is offline.
I just bought 3 smoke detectors and a co detector. I can register the detector and it is found, but unfortunately there is no status available. So like someone else mentioned in this thread it gives a false sense of security.
There seems to be no communication at all after a successful binding. It just shows “ok” battery 100% .
Homey helpdesk noted the problem but could not give an estimate of the solution. It seems there are two versions of this detector and they (homey) have to receive a non working detector from KlikAanKlikuit . kaku and homey I don’t mind waiting but I do mind waiting for a undefined period ! Please take customer care more seriously !
I always get the shivers with this.
Don’t rely too much on electronics…
A Homey / wireless signal is not reliable enough to add them to the ‘security’ category. It’s just gadgets.
Second, you’re barking up the wrong tree. To reach Athom (which you call Homey), you’d contact support.
No need to get the shivers. Smoke detectors are by definition ‘electronics’ , and there’s nothing wrong with depending on them.
A smoke detector works independently, even if there is no connection with homey. However, to monitor them with ease and as little manual action as possible I want them to send regular status updates to homey or respond to a status request.
You are of course right about the Homey / Athom mixup. Like a said, I did mention this error to Athom support!
