Big problem with alarm1/alarm2

---

Hello community,

I have two types of fire detectors. The FA20RF and the FA21RF.
I configured both in pimatic alarm1/alarm2 and I’m able to trigger them. The problem is, that signal lasts only for round about five seconds.

It doesn’t matter whether I configure a time interval via rule or not. After five seconds the signal stops.

when contact-terrasse is closed and if alarm-status is on then turn alarm-master on for 120 seconds

@SaxnPaule Can you please post the device configuration you have setup for the smoke detectors?

    {
      "protocols": [
        {
          "name": "alarm1",
          "options": {
            "id": 174xxxx
          }
        }
      ],
      "id": "alarm-master",
      "name": "Alarm Master",
      "class": "HomeduinoRFSwitch"
    }

Atm I solved the problem by using a workaround, but that’s really no good solution.

I have a rule that triggers the alarm every three seconds.

If alarm-state is turned on and every 3 seconds then turn alarm-master on

Alarm-master has the ‘force send’ attribute set.

A second rule turns the alarm off after a defined duration.

If alarm-state is turned on then turn alarm-state off after $alarm-duration seconds
