I've got a Home Assistant Green running with the ZBT-1 coordinator on Zigbee channel 15. I already have some devices paired via Zigbee, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to add the BSD-2 smoke detectors.

According to the documentation (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#action-zhapermit), I should be able to use the zha.permit action like this:

action: zha.permit
data:
duration: 180
qr_code: >-
my_qr_code_value

I tried this, but the device doesn’t show up. Even if I manually set the coordinator into join mode, nothing happens.

I’ve removed the detector’s battery, waited 20 seconds, and followed the reset procedure described here, but I still see nothing in the logs. It’s like the detector isn’t doing anything - and I have no idea what I’m supposed to press or where.

could someone please point me in the right direction 🙂

Are you using ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M)?

Z2M is not ZHA. ZHA is officially supported by HA. Zigbee2MQTT has an extra Addon that you need to install. But be careful. ZHA and Z2M can’t use the same Zigbee radio (ZBT-1). You need to buy another radio or as an alternative pair all your Zigbee devices via Z2M to HA.
