What Z-Wave device to use to open and close a relay?


TheCycler

Question

Hi,

I have a classical pushbutton in my garage that closes a relay connected to my analog telephone system.

This closes a relay (not 220V !!!) for a short time and makes the automatic gate to open.

Now i want to automate it and do this from a LUA scene.

Basic question is:

What Z-Wave device do i have buy to automate this?

Big thanks to anyone answering my question!

Uhm, a z-wave relay between your push button and the other relay? :-> that way the current function is retained while at the same time being able to operate through z-wave.

Fibaro FGS211 switch.

Parameter 3 first option

Parameter 4 seconds to turn off.

  • Thanks a lot guys!

    So what you say is that the relay switch for light switches with 220 v can also be used for relays that operate on a different voltage. (E.g. 12v)?

    An other application for this is that my camera starts recording when somebody pushes the doorbell. My D-link dcs-5222l has an relay input for this.

    Correct?

    I don't want to "grill" my equipment!

    Yes, the relay has an input that basically connects the wire on the input to the wire on the output when the relay is activated. That way you can send any voltage over it.

    You might want to consider ordering a couple of 221's also, unless you really need to switch more than 1,5 kW. That way you get more flexibility for a "free" expansion in that area. As I understand from some people here, the internal relays in the 211 and the 221 are the same anyway, so the durability between the 2 is probably the same.
