Description

@JsBergbau

I've opened a smoke detector to get more information about the used RF protocol. According to this Website https://www.elro.eu/de/faq/article/funktionieren-die-rauchmelder-noch-wenn-der-k1-nicht-mehr-funktioniert-sf40ga-fz5002r each smoke detector has it's own reporting group. So these smoke detectors are interconnected even when Gateway is not available.
All smoke detectors in the same reporting group hit alarm simultaneously. Even when you press Test button on one smoke detector all others sound as well. So it is very important that you have different groups. Otherwise if your neighbour had the same device he could make yours alarming.
If it would be possible to change alarm group for each smoke detector we could get informed about a fire at the specific room without making all the other detectors making noise. This helps a lot to find the room where the fire is very quickly.

So these devices are produced by Siterwell. Elro FT5002R are in fact Siterwell ST559A/C. There are similar smoke detectors with a different look and shape, see here https://www.china-siter.com/product/GS559A-C-130.html

Here https://docplayer.org/183402592-Gebrauchsanleitung-rauchwarnmelder-autonome-de-fum-ee-type-gs559a-ref-st559a-bild-1.html is a manual in German and French for this Smoke detector.

The official app which looks very similar to the Elro App is called FamilyWell and can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.siterwell.familywell&hl=de&gl=US

Siterwell has its own Github Repository https://github.com/Siterwell
Perhaps this code can be useful. As far as I see there is the full source code for the Elro Connects App https://github.com/Siterwell/familywell-lidl-android/branches
So no need to use a decompiler.

I'm also interested in the RF protocol. Perhaps we can build our own Gateway which allows multiple "reporting groups", so we can track via MQTT which smoke detector has an alarm, but only this detector is alarming.

If you find out anything about the RF protocol, please post here. I'll also contact the company and post results here.

I'll update this post in the next minutes if a find out more useful things.
