Aeotec Doorbell 6 - Sound Control Child Device Unknown CC

[mik3]

mik3 You're right about the absence of custom sound support. It's the gen5 that had that feature.

As it is a bit pricey I think I will wait and see if the support in HS improves or if a better option comes up.

I sure hope they update the drivers to support it.

i currently have one.

There is the Everspring doorbell that is fully battery based with custom sound support, but for some reason limited to EU frequencies

Are the bundled sounds ok?

Is it currently possible to lower the volume using HS? Don't need 110dB when the kids sleep...

[Roobrother]

Great. I’ve just ordered one of these. I knew I shouldn’t have without checking the forums, but I did anyway🤦♂️
Anyone got this working fully yet??

Cheers

Ahhhh...i did the same, I just assumed that is just "works"
its LOUD

Any updates

This was definitely not the device to start my HS refresher after having had my system in a box for five years. I don't really like visitors anyway, so I'll just leave it plugged in and take the battery out of the remote #becauseLOUD. Since I'm not in a hurry, here's to hoping that HS4 comes with a refreshed z-wave plugin and support for this rather useless LED light only I currently have hanging on the wall

Aeotec support has been very helpful when I wrote to them about this. Although I have not yet been able to verify, here is their recipe to set the default tones and volume for each of the 8 channels:

1. Download Zensys Tools here: https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/helpdes...nts/6091420613
2. Close Software that is linked to Z-Stick Gen5
3. Unzip Zensys Tools file, and open the .exe file.
4. Click and highlight your Doorbell 6 (in our image, it is Node #3)
5. Select "Node Info" button (4th button on the left)
6. Now open up "Command Class" tab on the right side of the software
7. Select:

Command Classes: "COMMAND_CLASS_MULTI_CHANNEL_V2"
Command Name: "MULTI_CHANNEL_CMD_ENCAP"

8. Input these Values:

Source End Point: 00 // leave as default
Res: 00 //Don't touch this, this does nothing.
Destination Endpoint: 03 // Button #1 endpoint of Siren or Doorbell 6, you can use this to control sound of your button or other alarm options
Bit address: 00
Command Class: 79 //Sound Switch Command Class
Command: 05 //Sound Switch Configuration Set Command
Parameter: 2801 //Volume 28 (as = 40%) Sounds #05 (as 05)

• Volume is a range between 00 - 65 (in hex which is 0 - 100 in decimal or easily seen as 0 - 100%)
• Sound can be a range between 00 - 1E (or decimal value of 1 - 30 or sound #1 - 30).
  • Example, Sound = 06, Volume = 0A (10%)
    • Parameter: 0A 06

My hunch is that, ultimately, this does nothing other than set a parameter on the device. If so, it would be helpful if their documentation would contain that level of detail so the changes can be made directly from HS3.

I'll update when I've had a chance to verify this approach works.

Do you know how I can disable the tamper alarm with this process? Kinda sad support for this has yet to be added.

Thanks.

im currently using Hubitat which supports the doorbell.

im hoping a native driver will come out once hs4 comes out of beta.

Thanks for that heads up! I didn’t even think to check if Hubitat supported this one. The doorbell has been hanging unplugged on my wall for months now because without the ability to modify the settings (volume above all else), the device is useless.

I had also just been waiting for HS4 with my fingers crossed

[mik3]

Is this still not supported?

[mik3]

So I moved all my zwave stuff over to Homeseer.

only device left is this damn doorbell!!

i want to get this thing moved over!!!

[mik3]

So I paired this up to Homeseer.

all I’m looking to do is turn the siren on or off.

im only seeing the following.

power management notification
siren notification

I am intested in this doorbell.



rjhmacromark But, what is happening with this?
This can’t be fully supported ??

[rjh]

The multichannel command class can be problematic. There were some changes to this recently to support some other devices and its possible the changes affected this one. Can you try the 3.0.1.130 Z-Wave plugin, I believe it is marked as "Z-Wave Legacy". Remove the doorbell and add it back with this version. See if you get more controls.

I’m using that version.

Ok, did you try the latest Beta also? .252 I think it is?

I’m using that version.
