SMC Networks SMCSM02-Z Smoke Detector (Zigbee)

[wmassier]

I have a SMC Networks SMCSM02-Z Smoke Detector (Zigbee) that I have discovered using Hubitat, however the generic SmartSense Multi V1 Type doesn't show any activity from the detector? This unit was part of a Xfinity Comcast setup. Any ideas or experience with this device?

Sounds like you’re trying to assign the driver for the smartthings multisensor version 1? That’s for a different type of device. I don’t think there’s a generic zigbee smoke detector driver.

Thanks for responding. I’m hoping someone has some interface experience with this unit

SMCSM02-Z Smoke Detector

Welcome to the Hubitat Community!

I find no custom drivers available for this on ST or HE. There is only one compatible Zigbee smoke detector and that is the Halo + which @mike.maxwell did a significant amount of work to create the driver. I've heard of SMC, but never heard of an SMC smoke detector.

Perhaps if you are not too invested in this Brand/Model, it would be better to look for a compatible detector. There are four Z-Wave detectors that work with HE.

My personal favorite is Nest Protect. While WiFi and not directly compatible with HE, I have setup an integration via a Homebridge plugin for Nest, and I am using HomeKit automations to trigger virtual switches, thus turning on lights and shutting down the furnace in the event of a Smoke or CO emergency.

Thanks for your input. Thought I might be able to salvage this unit but I’m not invested with SMC so I will move on.

Out of curiosity...what does the fingerprint for this device look like?

The driver in this post might work or be a good starting point:

Driver for Gas Sensor

I have one going. Seems to be working for me so far. Haven't test with actual gas yet. I am sure the driver could use some work.

Or perhaps the Halo Smoke Alarm driver might work? Not sure if that is a standard IAS Zone device...

Mitchp-sorry not sure what you mean by fingerprint? Thanks

Right after you pair it, there’s a little info shown and a link that says more

Click the link and the full device Zigbee fingerprint is shown. Paste that here in this thread

With the information SmartHomePrimer provided I tried the Ecolink unit and it has given a response but I haven’t had time to test the SMC Unit. Can I still provide you all with the fingerprint information you requested?

[wmassier]

Have not had any luck with this unit so I will research and move onto another type. Thank you all for helping

@wmassier

You certainly can. Don't have a unit to test with, but it should follow the spec so a driver could be written "blind". It should be very similar to the other Zigbee smoke/gas alarms.

[wmassier]

Thanks for the reply. I need to study Zigbee driver specs before I proceed with your recommendations to create a "Blind" driver. Thanks for your time.

[mitchp]

Oh I wasn’t suggesting you write it. There are those on the forums that could give it a go either modifying an existing driver or creating from scratch if the fingerprint was known.
