Fibaro FGCD-001 on Vera (lite)

 So after many failed attempts, I got a Fibaro FGCD-001 carbon monoxide detectot and alarm to work with Vera Lite, on UI7 version 1.7.1040.

When inittially adding it as a generic z-wave device, it will add the sensor, a child device as temperature sensor and some weird other device. Ignore this one.  

I used these device configuration settings, but I think you can also do without them.

The important part is to change some settings for the device so it is treated like a CO Alarm properly and is displayed as such. We need to add one file to the vera via the Apps - Develop apps - Luup files.

The file in question would be this one here:

Download the "original" Smoke Alarm from your Vera (browse the list), open it with a simple text editor and modify it with the code from this one here:

Safe it as "Virtual Smoke" and upload it to the Vera. 

Once this is done, go to your "generic device" and modify:

Category and subcategory, to mark it as a sensor for CO

As Device JSON, use the D_COSensor.json (which is standard on the Vera).

The device _file needs to be the new file we created and uploaded to the Vera, in my case the D_Virtual_SmokeSensor1.xml

As last bit, set device_type to "" urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:SmokeSensor:1 "".

If all goes well, this should result in a working CO Alarm in UI7 with the Fibaro FGCD-001

It seems like you need to be careful when entering these names in the property fields... If you enter "filename.xml " with a space after the xml part, the device will disappear. So always make sure that there is no trailing " " at the end of your filenames!!!
