Question
missenberger 6
Hello everybody,
the backdoor of my house is in a unheated room, where normal fibaro door sensors do not work very long. It's cold (minus 5 C in the winter months), it's wet (high humidity). So every four weeks the battery gives up or the device does not work anymore.
I installed a reed-contact and connected it to a old Gen1 Window-Sensor, that I placed in the next room (where its heated and dry). But my HC2 lost it once a week and I had to remove and re-include it every week.
I am wondering if I could us,a smart implant instead of this old Gen1 Sensor? The reed contact is still on the door and the wiring to the old Gen1 Window Sensor is still there. I could also install a electric socket to power the smart implant. Does somebody know if and maybe how I can do this?
Greetings
Michael
