Garage Door Tilt Sensor

What Z-Wave tilt sensors are you all using?

I am not using z-wave sensors, but I am very pleased with the Cao tags in that application.

Thanks. I'm considering those as well, but am hoping to avoid supporting another system. Do you have the tag manager integrated with your ISY or do you treat it as an independent system?

I'm using the one that came with my z-wave garage door controller (GD00Z-1).

I treat it as a separate system since my only objective is to know when the door is opened.

 

There are others at this forum who know how to integrate the data from the tags into the ISY but at his time that exceeds my skill level.

You don't integrate the tag manager, you integrate the numeric data the tags produce into the ISY as variables.  Here's a link to the Wireless Sensor topic.  The URL Calling method of inserting data into ISY variables is really quite easy, and it's been very reliable.  Kumoapps are a bit more work, but they can do an awful lot more.
