NEO ZigBee Siren Alarm Device Driver

JacobJB · October 21, 2020, 5:02pm

I am looking for a driver for the NEO ZigBee Siren. I'm pretty sure it's Identical to the Z-Wave Siren but using the ZigBee protocol. I would be very grateful if somebody could create the driver for me because I wouldn't know where to start. Thanks!

Well if I could get my hands on one of these we would roll out a driver for it.

Found this 18 sounds, just not sure if volume control

JacobJB · October 22, 2020, 8:42am

That's the one I purchased

mark.cockcroft · October 22, 2020, 11:23am

Does it have volume?
@mike.maxwell could a driver be developed remotely sharing debug logs or even remote access eg google desktop?

JacobJB · October 22, 2020, 12:01pm

I don't think it has volume but I does have a built in temperature and humidity sensor. It currently gets added to Hubitat as a Nue Zigbee Scene Controller

I've a z-wave one at the moment and use it as a doorbell/chime so don't want something really loud, but having so many z-wave issues trying to move everything to zigbee

Anything is possible, for me when working with unknown devices I like to have a sniffer running as well, so doing this remotely would be quite time consuming.
Seems eBay us may list these...

@mike.maxwell, I have one on order, if you need one for testing, I could send it out to you as soon as I get it as long as it comes back

Should get here in about 1 month with shipping delays from china. Also ordered a Zigbee 3.0 relay that also has local control on it hoping it will work as a regular generic switch.

mike.maxwell · October 22, 2020, 2:30pm

sure, we can do that

nclark · October 22, 2020, 2:32pm

ok, I'll contact you as soon as I get it.

JacobJB · October 23, 2020, 7:28pm

@mike.maxwell @nclark Thank you for organising this. It's very much appreciated

Ranchitat · October 23, 2020, 7:42pm

Here's a little more info about this device:

Probably cheaper (or about the same) to order another directly to Mike and then send it on to you.

nclark · October 23, 2020, 7:46pm

Maybe, I'll check prices and see, also do I need two of these especially since I ordered it to play with some ideas without knowing much about it.

mark.cockcroft · October 30, 2020, 6:33pm

Mine arrived today, any idea a what driver to try?
Found this on git

Did you try it ?
Did that driver not work ??

I’d be interested in knowing if these Zigbee sirens don’t suffer the same ‘double chime’ issues the Zwave versions seem to.

rocketwiz · October 30, 2020, 11:06pm

Add me to the interested party list. These are cheap enough to install around the house + battery backup is a real plus.

njanda · October 31, 2020, 1:52am

I'd love it if they charged the batteries !
I have one of the Dome Zwave units which has the "meh-USB" connector but it doesn't provide charging current to the batteries.

mark.cockcroft · October 31, 2020, 7:28am

Not had chance to try yet but will post results

mark.cockcroft · October 31, 2020, 7:42am

Tried it but nothing seems to work when pressing the buttons, messages are showing in the log but I don't know what they're saying
