Hi @silox ,
Yes, having this particular model (_TZE204_t1blo2bj TS0601) will speed up the development. I have the previous model (_TZE200_t1blo2bj), but there are differences between the two models that I can't handle without having the device on my desk... I can return it to you after the driver is ready.
I wanted to follow-up here and confirm with everyone that the updated driver works great with the TS0601 _TZE204_t1blo2bj variant. Great work @kkossev, very much appreciated!
i know it figures out the power based on whether it is plugged in when you pair it.. but if i add batteries after will it work on batteries when power is out?
It is not possible to activate individually only the LEDs or the sound, so the standard HE command ‘Strobe’ also activates the siren.
Can you test what will happen if you set the Alarm Volume to 0 (zero) and then click on the Strobe button? If this works, then I can implement setting the volume to 0 automatically on the driver (and restoring it automatically later).
The device does not report properly when the power source has changed to batteries, so it is not possible to use it as a power-down sensor.
Also, the batteries are depleted very fast - mine went to zero after just a few days. So the batteries can be used for a short backup purpose only.
Are you stuck on the Tuya zigbee siren?
I really like the Ecolink chime siren.
I've got custom voice messages announcing stuff, like, "Zigbee Radio Is Off", lol.
You can record 20(?) or so on a micro sd card.
The smoke/co alarm is quite loud, for the zcombo in the garage.
It also has a battery and sends main/battery messages.
Yeah, currently 79 bucks on Amazon.
It's my first foray into voice.
I don't think I'll venture any farther, as in web-connected stuff, but having it announce various things is cool, rather than remembering what different tunes mean.
