daved Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know if there is an Insteon or Zwave temperature sensor compatible with the ISY 994i (with zwave module). I am looking for something that has a temp range high enough to use in an attic. I found a FortrezZ unit model WWA02AA - doe anyone know if this is compatible? Edited February 13, 2017 by daved
Dr Pepper Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 I believe Aeotec has one that should work. I forget the model and the upper limit on the range. If nothing else works an Insteon T-Stat would probably work. I got mine as part of a starter pack and paid $99 for the T-Stat and a few other products.
PhanTomiZ Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) daved I use the Aeotec Multisensor 6 to monitor my two freezers. My freezers will go to -20 F. ISY If statements range from -40 F to 140 F. Here are the manufacturers Specs: Model number: ZW100 Power Supply: USB DC 5V or battery power(2×CR123A batteries, 3V, 1500mAh). Operating Temperature: 0 to 40 . Measured Temperature Range: -10 to 50 . Accuracy: ±0.5 . Humidity Range: 20%RH to 80%RH. Accuracy: ±5%RH (at 25 ). Lighting: 0 LUX to 30000 LUX. Max Motion Sensitivity: 5 metres. Water Proofing: IP20. Wireless Range: Up to 500feet/150 metres outdoors. ebay has them for a reasonable price if you're patient...

stusviews Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 ISY If statements range from -40 F to 140 F. Which ISY firmware, v4 or v5?

If the low operating range is 0 do you put this directly in your freezer at -20? I'm interested in the concept but just wondering if there is more to it. Thanks Stan Edited February 16, 2017 by sdynak
sdynak Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Yes, right in the freezer... Cool.. thank you.. will have to give it a go. Cheers, Stan
PhanTomiZ Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Hey, If you're patient, you can get them on ebay and at a good price when you purchase 2 or 3... Be forewarned that I've found the temperature to be different for all of my sensors. What I mean by that is that I spent a few days, with each, verifying and adjusting the temperature offset. Humidity for my purposes has been somewhat accurate (I use one in my bathroom which controls my exhaust fan). That same one lets me know using LUX whether the light is on or off. Haven't used the UV detection yet as I don't have any outside. Also, they are all on USB power too. Overall, I'd say I'm satisfied with all of them. What would make them better is if they were Insteon and could be included in Scenes would be great.... PhanTomiZ
sdynak Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Good info.. Thanks for sharing your experience.. I was thinking one of those web control boards and sensors but this seems much simpler with more options. Best Stan
