KCrater Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 I'm wondering if anyone knows of a Z-Wave device that can accept a simple contact closure input (from a relay) and report it to trigger an ISY program (in an If statement). I'm using a Topens HLR01 to accept a Homelink signal from my car's remote control, and it provides relay outputs. I would like to use one of these to trigger a Z-Wave signal that in turn runs a program in the ISY. I have a MIMO2+, which looks very nice, except it doesn't work (as reported elsewhere in this forum). I can add it as a Z-Wave device, but only one each of the two input and output channels show up, and the input does not seem to be usable to trigger a program. So, now I'm looking at the Zooz Zen16, and hoping that the inputs actually show up when paired to the ISY, and that they can be used in a simple If statement. Does anyone have experience or advice to offer?
kzboray Posted March 21, 2022 Posted March 21, 2022 @KCrater I use a Smartenit EZIO2X4 that works well with the ISY994i, I haven't moved it to IoP yet so I can't say if there will be any issues with IoP.https://smartenit.com/shop/ezio2x4/ Quote Two opto-isolated digital inputs (3-30VDC) Two inputs configurable as digital (0-1VDC for ON, 3-5VDC for OFF) or analog (10 bit resolution, 0-1023 points) Two normally open relays (contacts rated .5A at 30VDC or 120VAC – resistive loads) Acts as an Insteon sender with each of the 4 inputs able to trigger a group on/off command or broadcast message A timer from 1 second to 255 minutes can be set on each input to delay the command sent in the ON to OFF transition Configurable to send Insteon commands or broadcast messages at programmable thresholds (alarm points) on the analog inputs A timer from 1 second to 255 minutes can be set on each relay to allow momentary pulsing or unattended turn off Responds to Insteon and X10 commands to turn on or off each or any combination of the 2 relays Extensive command set for maximum programming flexibility Acts as a repeater of powerline Insteon signals 2-way communications for high reliability Equipped with usable pass-through outlet (not shown)

I notice, though, that the EZIO2X4 is an Insteon device, and I'm actually trying to switch over to, ultimately, an all-Z-Wave installation. In fact, I currently have a couple of 2450 IOLinc devices in my installation to bring in signals from a Dakota Alert driveway sensor, and I'd like to replace them as well. Ken
brians Posted March 22, 2022 Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) @KCraterGet the Zooz Zen17 because you can separate the inputs from the outputs. I have a couple... one senses a pump motor via dry contact output AC sensor. Another is on my garage door and senses door closed via reed switch, and I use relay out on that for garage button control. Zen17 can do two simultaneous inputs and should work for what you want. To clarify... I can touch a paperclip between the two connections on either of the two the inputs and I can see it almost instantly update the ISY. I have moved to IoP but had working on ISY994i with 500 series Z-Wave before. Edited March 22, 2022 by brians
KCrater Posted March 22, 2022 Author Posted March 22, 2022 Thanks, Brian, that's great advice - I'll check it out! Ken
