Aeotec Doorbell 6 support


qsdom

Question

Hi there,

 

I was planning to buy a Aeotec Doorbell 6, but as i onderstood from a supplier: it is only possible to use 9 of the 6 tones and it is not possible to adjust the volume with a Fibaro controler (HCL or HC2).

I asked Aeotec why this limitation

 

Quote Aeotec Inc.

"This is because Fibaro HC2 does not fully support the other mappings of this device, Fibaro will need to further integrate the Doorbell 6 or Siren 6 and support the "Sound Switch" command class to configure sounds and play the 30 separate tones.

We had to remove control over Configuration parameter settings as this conflicts with Z-Wave specifications and requirements for this device to be certified using parameter settings. So all sounds must be controlled via Sound Switch including volume control."

 

Anyone tips or advise? Another brand or ... wait for Fibaro support!?

Hi and first a happy new year to all.

 

I have the siren 6 which is apparently identical to the doorbell. As I can see, there is still no solution to change volume of tones or use all variants of 30 sounds. Thanks to @qsdom and the Aoetec specification in post 2, at least I managed it to change the tone of only one! (first device)! I'm really not a expert here and maybe someone can find out more because it's a very laborious and unsatisfied method and does not replace a template from Fibaro.

 

By the way: Device 1 and 2 have the same sounds in my configuration since added into the controller. So I believe there are only 8 sounds which we can really use at the same time even if there are 9 devices. If you are interested in listening all 30 sounds and choosing one for default for the first device, here you are:

 

1. Create Parameter like:

Maybe you have to wait a moment after saving and refresh the browser page.

By the way, value in hex is 0x102 0000 (List loop playback for auto-selecting tone)

Please login or register to see this link.

2. Now turn one of these devices on:

 Be shure your neighbours can not here you or put the siren into a box or something ?

 

3. Now all 30 tones are playing in order. Be patient, some lasting longer than the other.

 

4. If you want a tone as default just stop the device by clicking OFF.

 

5. Now we have to switch parameter 1 to default again:

16777216 (0x100 0000‬) for single playback or

16842752 (0x101 0000‬) for continuous playback

 

Changes are on your own risk! Very sad that there is no parameter for volume and we can only change one device! I know this is not the solution we are all waiting for, but there are some nice sounds which are worth listen to. One remembers me on "The Thing" of John Carpenter" ??

 

Good luck!

 

Thank you for this guide, I will try it.

 

I have only a couple of questions.

 - On which device I have to put the parameter into? The first or the second?

 - When I decided which sound to use, I have only to change the parameter and it will mantain the memory of that sound?

 

Thank you

It should work for any of the slave device. Parameters are always saved on one page for all under the master.

Once you turn off the browse endpoint device and switch parameter 1 to default, the tone is stored.

 

I also created a VD for better handling. See post

. It should work for doorbell too.

@qsdom in a couple of months fibaro is launching a new device, fibaro sirene, that also works as a doorbell etc.

So i guess that device also uses sound switch command class..... and then homecenter will know that command class.

 

The fibaro sirene is never going to production, i ordered a aeotec doorbell.

Lets see if hc3 can do something with this device.

I have the Aeotec Doorbell 6. How do I play a "dingdong" sound on the HC2 when the door is opened?

 

Something like:

It doesn’t work ?

Is 55 your master device? Then try 55+5 ->

5th slave device is doorbell 3 (dingdong).

Thanks @AndyY

 

My master device has ID 51 and the slave has ID 55, it is “Sirene 3”. If I chose the wrong slave device, I would expect a different sound, but I have no sound at all, nothing. (My doorsensor has ID 48.) If I manually turn device ID 55 on, I hear “dingdong”. 

Or does it only work with an extra VD? 
 

These are the devices I have:

Ahoj a najskôr všetkým šťastný nový rok.

 

Mám sirénu 6, ktorá je zjavne rovnaká ako zvonček pri dverách . Ako vidím, stále neexistuje riešenie na zmenu hlasitosti tónov alebo na použitie všetkých variantov 30 zvukov. Vďaka@qsdoma špecifikácia Aoetec v príspevku 2, aspoň sa mi podarilo zmeniť tón iba jedného! (prvé zariadenie)! Naozaj tu nie som odborník a možno sa niekto dozvie viac, pretože je to veľmi namáhavá a neuspokojená metóda a nenahrádza šablónu od Fibaro.

 

Mimochodom: Zariadenia 1 a 2 majú od pridania do ovládača v mojej konfigurácii rovnaké zvuky. Verím teda, že existuje iba 8 zvukov, ktoré môžeme skutočne použiť súčasne, aj keď je k dispozícii 9 zariadení. Ak máte záujem o počúvanie všetkých 30 zvukov a výber jedného z predvolených nastavení pre prvé zariadenie, ste tu:

 

1. Vytvorte parameter ako:

Please login or register to see this link.

Možno budete musieť po uložení a obnovení stránky prehliadača chvíľu počkať.

Mimochodom, hodnota v šestnástke je 0x102 0000 (prehrávanie zoznamu slučiek pre automatický výber tónu)

Please login or register to see this link.

2. Teraz zapnite jedno z týchto zariadení:

Please login or register to see this link.

Please login or register to see this link.

 Buďte opatrní, vaši susedia vás tu nemôžu nájsť alebo sirénu vložte do krabice alebo niečoho iného ?

 

3. Teraz hrá všetkých 30 tónov v poriadku. Buďte trpezliví, niektorí trvajú dlhšie ako ostatní.

 

4. Ak chcete mať predvolený tón, zastavte zariadenie kliknutím na VYPNUTÉ.

 

5. Teraz musíme znova prepnúť parameter 1 na predvolený:

16777216 (0x100 0000) na samostatné prehrávanie alebo

16842752 (0x101 0000) na nepretržité prehrávanie

 

Zmeny sú na vaše vlastné riziko! Veľmi smutné, že neexistuje žiadny parameter hlasitosti a môžeme zmeniť iba jedno zariadenie! Viem, že to nie je riešenie, na ktoré všetci čakáme, ale je tu niekoľko príjemných zvukov, ktoré stojí za to si vypočuť. Jeden ma pamätá na "vec" Johna Carpentera " ? ?

 

Veľa štastia!

 

I changed the volume by disassembling the device and including a potentiometer for connecting a speaker. It's simple and you can set a lower volume if needed, as the default is very loud. It's not a smart solution, but it solves the problem (-:

Volume and tone adjustable with the aid of a second Z-Wave USB stick and Simplicity studio Z-Wave PC controller as a slave controller available here: 

Please login or register to see this link.

You  need to register but it is free.

 

 

First add the doorbell to you main controller

 

Install and start Simplicity studio

go to Tools - Z-Wave PC controller

I did - set node information - slave, not sure if this is needed.

 

Add node on your main controller (Domoticz in my case)

 

"Learn mode" button on Z-Wave pc controller

it now learns all your devices, when it is ready press cancel on your primary controller

 

Select device "Sound Switch"

retrieve "Node info" with the "node info" button

 

There are 8 sound switch (sub)devices within the sound switch

Sound switch device#.2 is for the tamper alarm (goes off when a shock is detected)

Sound switch device#.3 is the doorbell button and Doorbell 1 in Domoticz
Sound switch device#.4 is Doorbell 2 in Domoticz
Sound switch device#.5 is Doorbell 3 in Domoticz
 

cmd 0x79 0x08 plays selected tone but at volume configured with cmd 0x05

cmd 0x79 0x05 sets volume and default tone
 

so:

first issue cmd 0x79 0x05 with volume 10 tone 1 to device#.1

you do this by selecting sound switch#.1 in the top left window

selecting command classes - 0x79 from the bottom left window (double click)

entering the command 0x05 and volume and tone values in the top right window

hit "send"

 

then cmd 0x79 0x05 with every tone nr you would like to try. (this is now without earplugs at volume 10 from above)

set the devices #.2-5 as desired

 

Now you have a usable doorbell plus 2 other playable tones from your main controller (tested with Domoticz stable release)

 

The doorbell does not remember the settings when you temporarily add the doorbell to the Z-Wave PC controller, make the settings, then remove it from Z-Wave PC controller and add it to your main controller again.
