I'm a little surprised about how few Zigbee smoke detector there are "supported" by Hubitat. Only one on the officially supported devices page and I've found two (sort of) community drivers. One is for a Xiaomi device: [image] GitHub - veeceeoh/xiaomi-hubitat: veeceeoh's Xiaomi device driv…

[image] velvetfoot: extra position on the Zen16 How do you plan to use the Zen16 with the BRK and how are you using it with the WaterCop? I have one that I use as a dry contact relay but unsure how that applies to your use cases. Assume I am unaware of another feature of the Zen16.

Yup no batteries is a good thing. :+1: That said, my ecolink firefighter is still at 100% after 18 months (for what that is worth). In my case I put the firefighter next to the easiest to get to detector, so a battery change out is just a chair + 30s. Since I wasn't smart enough to get 7-10 year b…

I've put a FireFighter in as well. I put it next to one of the smoke alarms in the basement - since they are all interconnected, I chose a place that was out of the way and easy to access.

It is a cool device. Up to 5 year battery Has worked 100.0% of the times i've tested it (on purpose or accidentally) $35 Hard to beat in my opinion.

Just discovered that my current smoke detectors can be "upgraded" to e Zigbee or Z-wave device. Witch is the recommended protocol to use since Hubitat supports both? [Screenshot 2021-02-17 at 16.27.40]

I doubt either of those modules are "officially" supported. I would see if someone else has tried them, and verified they work with Hubitat, 1st before spending a bunch of money.

My Z-wave Plus FireFighter is installed 8" (center to center) from my detector and it works perfectly - especially when we triggered it accidentally.
