[ INDOOR SIREN ] How to specify sound ID via SWITCH_MULTILEVEL ?

Pierre T shared this question ago

Need Answer

Hello,

I've just acquired a Zipato indoor siren PSE2

I would like to use the "beep-beep" style sound when I enter the house and my alarm is on.

After 30 seconds if my alarm has not been disable I would like the siren to play the loud emergency sound.

Unfortunately it seems I'm not able to specify the sound style...

The userguide says that the "SWITCH_MULTILEVEL" is supported and lists the values to send to the device to specify the sound.

When i send the "data[0].Set(255)" to Class 37 (0x25) the alarms plays the emergency sound.

When I send the "data[0].Set(0)" to Class 37 (0x25) it stops the alarm.

I was expecting to be able to send "data[0].Set(6)" to play the "beep-beep" or "data[0].Set(5)" to play the "Door Chime". But it doesn't work. (always play the loud emegency sound).

Maybe I'm not using the right variable to specify the sound value.

I was wondering if maybe a firmware update is needed or something. Someone can help me ?

PS : I'm using JEEDOM

Thanks for letting me know.

Regards,

Pierre

Greetings,

You need to set configuration option 7 to 128. Then you can use BASIC_SET to change the siren sound. Valid values are:

{

"0": "STOP_SOUND",

"1": "EMERGENCY",

"2": "FIRE_ALERT",

"3": "AMBULANCE",

"4": "POLICE_CAR",

"5": "DOOR_CHIME",

"6": "BEEP"

}

Hello Marko,

Thanks for your answer. What option is the "option 7" ?

Can you have a look at my screenshot ?

Thanks,

Pierre

You need to use command class CONFIGURATION to set the configuration option 7 to value 128. We do not not how this is done with JEEDOM.

Is it possible to use this on Zipabox/Zipatile?

configuration option 7 is set to 128 automatically after you include the siren with our controller.

Hi Marko, so if this option is already enabled, than is it possible that instead of beep-beep as squawk we can use the door chime for example?

I have a setup like the following and its very similar to what you want to do. I make my siren beep for 30 seconds if the partition is tripped, also beep while arming or disarming. Siren goes off only after 30 seconds of beaping.

Hello, I am a beginner and I want to configure 2 different sounds to the sirene:

Alarm: Loud and alarming (as presetted)

Alarm On/Off with keypad: Door chime or beep

Can someone explain me for beginners how to do that?

Michael,

If you are using Zipato Virtual Alarm you can configure what you want in the alarm setting. You can configure the indoor siren as squawk and will beep every time you ARM/DISARM the alarm, regardess how you do it.

thanks, but i wpuld like to have an alarm sound (i.e. POLICE) and a different sound when I turn on/off the alarm (i.e. door chime)

Michael,

Then you have to use rules, see below.

Thanks. That looks cool. What should I do then in the configuration of the alarm system (sirene/Squawk)? Leave it empty?

Alberto Macias ●

Yes, the first two rules would be your squawk (you can put whatever number of beeps or lights) they will only activate when you change Alarm Status.

How should I configure domoticz to use the different siren sounds? This device seems to use non standard way to set the alarm.

hi stephen, you will need to query the Domoticz community on this as we are all Zipato system users and unfamiliar with Domoticz configurations and programming. But if you look at the first few posts you can see that you need to change parameter 7 on the siren to 128 bit.

Thanks, i thought this was a forum for discussing zipato products, my mistake.

Outside of zipato it seems there is no way to enable the different sounds. Vesternet have details of a hack but it is not currently viable in domoticz. Unfortunately, I will have to return the siren.

Stephen,

This is a forum to discuss Zipato products, also some others from different brands interacting with Zipato Controllers.

There is a way to do what you want and it is as Adrian Mentioned, you need to set the right value to parameter number 7 but, this need to be sent by your controller, if your controller does not give you that option then you need to make a request to them. Is there a way you can request direct support from Domoticz?? I'm sure Zipato support can provide any information Domoticz would need to create a proper descriptor in their system.

Thanks but I'm confused by the magic 128 number, it is not documented in the product manual:

https://www.zipato.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/ph-pse02-Zipato-Siren-User-Manual-v1.2.pdf

Rather than me asking blindly for configuration changes would it not make more sense for zipato engineers to request the configuration change directly to openzwave/domoticz? Or at the very least update the documentation?

Stephen,

For experience I can tell you that there are still a lot of things to fix on Zipato Systems, they have making big efforts on adding many functionalities at the same time (too many if you ask me) I highly doubt that Zipato is going to invest time to make one of their devices work with one of their competitors, to be honest this is the first time I see someone is asking about integrating a Zipato device in domoticz (not impliying that domoticz is no good or anything, it is just the first time that I see it), however you can ask Zipato to get in touch with domoticz by opening a ticket on Zipato Support (https://support.zipato.com) so they can give you a direct answer, my advice is to contact Domoticz first.

Also if you browse through this forum you will be able to find numerous requests from Zipato users to update documentation but, to be honest, this process have been slow on Zipato side. Parameter 7 is probably not documented on that manual since Zipato takes care of it automatically.

We have a similar problem on Zipato side for Fibaro RGBW controllers, even though you can see the parameter 38 and 39 in the device config, and the fact that you can send it manually, there is no way to include this on the rules so there is no way to make these "built-in scenes" automated, this have been an unanswered request from Zipato to integrate completely a Fibaro Device (being the only RGBW zwave controller in the market).

Hi Stephen,

As Alberto said. When you are resolving interbrand support, you 1st need to contact the controller gateway system or hardware provider whether a specific unit from a specific manufacturer can be integrated to the system you are using for control.

Btw, i have briefly used domoticz, it is a great system with broad range of options and possibility to extend by your own if you know programming, but i dont.

Everyone has its own favour...
