Oregon temperature sensor battery life - alternative products?

Hi, In the past, Oregon made excellent temperature/humidity sensors which were on AA batteries. They lasted several years. Then, they replaced it a few years ago by a newer model working on AAA. Now the sensor runs out of juice after approximately one year. With 14 of these everywhere in the home ...

Re: Use garage door opener to set switch?

I had the same need. I purchased an extension to my Hormann garage door opener which provides input/output dry contacts for getting the door state and triggering open/close. And I added the Fibaro Smart implant inside. This means I have an input to check the door state, and two inputs for opening ...

NodOn double wall switch CWS-3-1

Hi, I have purchased this switch from NodOn for controlling various stuff at home, and successfully included it to my network. In Domoticz, I have 4 switch devices (one dimmer and three on/off). Now I have a few questions: 1) Is the dimmer vs on/off device type a feature, allowing to dim with one of ...

Multiple triggers with Qubino mini dimmer

Hi, I have installed a Qubino mini dimmer, and everytime I switch it from Domoticz, this results in three event triggers instead of one. For instance, if I switch it on, I get three device events (for instance in dzvents) - First one with state "On" immediately when I turn the switch on - Another ...

Re: Z-wave Notification sensor ( in red )

I had the same after upgrading to the latest stable domoticz. This corresponded to a Fibaro Door Sensor, and it wasn't working anymore. So I switched back to the previous version... Latest "stable" is extremely crappy regarding zwave.

Spurious events...

Hi, I have a Z-Wave dimmer. When I switch it on and off in Domoticz, it dims to the corresponding value. On the switch interface, I can see, for instance if I switch it off: - Immediately after clicking, it goes to the "off" state. - Shortly after, it goes back to the "on" state, probably because ...

Lost device : Fibaro Door sensor

Hi, Since yesterday, my Fibaro Door Sensor is not updating anymore in Domoticz. In the ZWave node list, it's marked as "sleeping" (moon icon). I see it has not been seen since 36h, while the Wake-Up interval is 12h, and I've opened an closed the windowseveral times. However, when moving the window ...

Re: Garage door opening on power restore...

Considering all the reported issues/bugs, this one should IMO be renamed "dumb implant". Well, I have a qubino dry relay that drives open/close and S2 input reports status. This one have config restored on power outage. The garage opener has 24V power source inside the extension box, so the implant ...

Re: Garage door opening on power restore...

Why would you even want to open a door to your home with domoticz? It’s my garage, not my home. You can’t access the home from it. And I want to open it to guests when they arrive. And no, I would not let a zwave dumb implant open my home. My two home items not connected to domoticz are the door loc ...

Recommended temperature or temp/hum sensors?

Hi, I have a bunch of Oregon Temperature and Temperature/Humidity sensors at home, models THN132 and TGHN132. These models were very good, as they work on a single AA battery (cheap, lasts several years at any temperature with a lithium one). Plus the THN132 works down to -30°C, which enables uses ...

Issues with Oregon temperature sensors

Hi, One of my temperature/humidity sensors, an Oregon TGHN 132, suddenly stopped being updated in Domoticz, while the battery was recent, and the LED was still flashing every minute. I tried to move it close to the receiver, without success. Resetting it fixed the issue, but this created a new ...

Re: Garage door opening on power restore...

There is no such option controlling action on Power Up.

I contacted Fibaro, they acknowledged that relays shortly close at power-up. Which means, that the use in a Garage Door, although recommended in the manual, is totally unsecure.

Re: Best choice for cooler

Hi,

I'm awakening this thread as I got no answer... I can't believe there are no recommended AC/coolers that can be easily integrated into Domoticz!

At least, I need to switch AC on/off. And best, would be controlling temperature, fan, etc...

Thanks for advices!

I just wanted to mention that a thermostat with mode selector button would be super helpful for many, especially on large homes with lots of switches.

Thermostat with manual/auto switch

Hi, I have 8 rooms, each one has a thermostat (a virtual device in Domoticz). dzVents scripts control heating, and also control the thermostat setpoint across the day. Sometimes, I would like to set the temperature manually for some time. There is no simple way, I could add a switch for each room ...

Make independent switches appear as a roller shutter

Hi,

I have three independent devices (Z-Wave) for my garage door : one push switch for opening, one push switch for closing, and one door sensor for state feedback.

Is there any way I can have a nice blinds/rollershutter device grouping the three instead?

Thanks!
