Z-Wave - Sensors Q&A

Question 1

How well do these sensative drip sensors work in carpetted areas. I have 2 areas of my house where we have experienced leaks and both have carpet. If these are not suitable can you recommend a z-wave sensor that might work? View answer

Question 2

Why does the Aeotec Multi 6 report a 23 lux when my Philips Hue sensor reports 14606 lux in virtually the same position. I've tried it with 3 Aeotec Multi 6s now with the same sort of difference, I'm concerned because I want to use to switch on lighting when required? They even report 0 lux when there is enough light to read a book! View answers

Question 3

Have these yet been proven to work with Vera Edge or Vera Plus? I have installed one and whilst, after hours working on-line (computer and telephone) with a Micaverde technician (or two), the binary function works, we can get no sensible response from the 2 x DS18B20 connected. View answer

Question 5

Can the 3 phase clamp measure the current direction (negative current)? For example, when power is provided to the grid (by a solar system) when self consumption is low. View answer

Question 6

On Fibaro's website for this product it shows it being able to be installed in audio equipment but there are no references to that type of setup in the manual or instructions. Has anyone tried to use the implant in any appliance to make it smart? If so I assume the compatibility will be based on the appliance and the internal wiring if it can be done. View answer

Question 9

Hi Does this come with a UK standard 3 point plug? I'm trying to create a set up where I have a magnetic strip sensor on a door that will chime once opened and also send an alert to my phone. Do you know if this could be achieved, using this in conjunction with a smart things hub? Thanks View answer

Question 11

I bought one of these earlier in the year, am hoping to use to add functionality to an automatic gate opener. I've struggled to get it added into Homeseer correctly, only Output 1 has shown up. Have any Homeseer users had any success getting both outputs to add correctly? If so, any tips? View answer

Question 13

Hello Could I use this connected to the 12v bell output (I.e. the +and- terminals) in my house intruder alarm to tell my Samsung SmartThings box that the siren is ringing? This would be a remote alert as lightening frazzled the built-in comms dialler! It’s not clear to me from the manual that I could put the 12v through to say “it’s ringing” and “stopped ringing” when it’s 0v. I am also not clear on whether I will be able to configure it with ST (I don’t have the Fibaro control system), or not. Thank you in advance. Neil

Question 15

I will be building a new house starting in a few months time and I want to implant temperature sensors in the concrete slab. I have 2 questions; firstly in the manual it says this can be burried concrete with the right protection, what would that protection be please?? Secondly, what would you recommend for protecting the string of temp tensors so they can be safely buried in the concrete and what cable would you connect them with ?? Thanks Chris

Question 16

Does this support pulse counting at hardware level ? I'm looking for something to interface to water flow meters with a pulsed output. It would obviously need to store number of pulses received over a certain time period.

Question 17

This appears to be a re-incarnation of the Fibaro Universal Binary Sensor which will not now recognise DS18B20 inputs although it used to do so. Is this unit any the more reliable?

Question 20

Is this Trisensor replacing the Aeotec Multisensor 6, which has 6 different sensors?

Asked 6 ´years ago | Z-Wave Plus Aeotec Trisensor

Question 21

Do these use the same motion sensor as Aeotec's Multisensor with motion, UV, humidity, vibration, temperature and lux? I'm hoping they don't as the motion sensor in the Aeotec 6-way multisensor is very poor, I have about 5-6 of them and even on the highest setting they often don't detect me even if I walk right up to them and jump around.

Question 33

I bought this motion sensor and tried without success to include to my new smartthings hub v2 (UK version). Smartthings support advised me to confirm that the motion sensor is also a UK version (not a US one), as apparently the frequencies are different... Can you please confirm that this sensor works with the UK version of smartthings hub? View answers

Question 34

Hi Folks. Is it feasible to use this sensor to control your central heating. If I used a fibaro relay to control the boiler could the temperature sensor be used as a thermostat to set or monitor the temperature or would I need to buy a dedicated Zwave thermostat? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. View answer

Question 35

When you add a Z-Wave network the sensor FGMS-001 (controller Razbery) in the settings is displayed only temperature and illumination. No tamper and motion sensor. Accordingly, they are not in applications. Removed from the network, he added, the problem is not resolved. What to do?
