Z-Wave Q&A

Question 1

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 2

Hi, I'm using Domoticz running on a RPi, does this classify as a 'security Enabled Z-Wave Plus Controller' as specified as a requiremjent to fully utilise the Remotec ZXT-600 Z-Wave+ to IR Extender for AC ? Thanks Steve View answer

Question 3

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 4

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 5

I wish to use this to wirelessly (zwave) control my Danfoss thermostats (also Zwave). Can you confirm that this devise is able to do so? And, I wonder if the fan-controller can be used to automatically turn on a fan for heat-moving near the fireplace? Say, if it is 23 degree it should automatically turn on the vent. But if it is too noisy or so, I can turn down the speed? Its hard to find the exact details on this product and MCO does not reply on their website... Thanks! View answer

Question 11

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

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

Question 12

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 13

I am using the Fibaro Dimmer 2 to control the main lights in my lounge on S1, and to control the lamps by association in Group 5 which are connected to wall dimmers using S2. I have managed to get it all working, but I would like to connect more than one lamp. I have tried to add a second association but it never seems to stick. I have attempted this with OpenHAB, my main server, and with Domoticz control centre. Can you tell me whether this is possible? From the limited documentation I can find, and my experience with associating other devices, I believe it should be.

Question 14

I am looking for a capacitive mono-stable wall switch to be used with a z-wave dimmer module. I'm struggling to find ones which will work as desired as most will not register a long press/hold – instead, they always accept touch as a momentary on/off. What I would like is for it to mimic a mono-stable switch (bell-push) i.e. touch once for on/off and hold for dim up/down, which I know can be set by the Fibaro parameters – but I can't find a capacitive plate wall plate that does this. Note, ideally I'm looking a double switch.

Question 19

I've currently got an AEON S2 installed in my Domoticz environment with a fairly large network of devices. Some of them are in pretty inaccessible spaces.

Question 32

Just read the English installation instructions for the Fibaro FGS 223. They state "The device is designed for installation in a wall switch box of depth not less than 600mm." I'm not sure you can get a back box of that depth in the UK. Does this mean we can't use the device in a standard UK box? View answer
