Door sensor with indipendent external input

[Tamagnun]

Hi everybody, I need to monitor in my security system 12 doors/windows, each one with its jalousie (an external protection made by wood), and I would like to avoid to buy 24 sensors...
Someone has found a door/window sensor with an external contact that works indipendently from the internal contact?

I've tested the Fibaro FGK-101 and the Vision ZD2102 sensors, but with both of them the external contact works in dependency of the internal contact, in Domoticz the switch device related to the sensor changes its state if the external OR internal contact change, I need a zWave sensor with two devices reported, the first acted by the internal magnetic contact, the second controlled by the external contact... do you know if it exists a similar zWave sensor, compatible with Domoticz, obviously?

Thank you for your experience and report.
Regards

Maybe you can go for the fibaro binairy switch.

By the way, you had your ZD2102 sensors working?

Hi Paul, sorry for the late reply... at the end I have chosen to protect only the external jalousie, not the internal window/door, using only the embedded magnet sensor.

The ZD2102 GEN 5 door/window sensor (id=0x0105 model=0x2001) works well with Domoticz rel. 3.5877, unfortunately with the older GEN3 (id=0x0102 model=0x2001), recognized as AUstralian (Vision reports it is Indian version) despite it works on European frequency, the SENSOR device (id=xxxx00) is properly updated, whilst the BURGLAR (id=xxxx35) is fooling: it goes ON every time the magnet sensor OR the internal tamper switch go ON or OFF (yes, also when they go OFF), completely useless device!!

Fibaro binary switch cannot be battery powered, I wrote to Fibaro customer service in the 2015 and they recommended me to power it with an AC/DC adapter or something like this, not with batteries!! Sigh!

Bye

This is my setup:

The FGK-101 has a binary input option, this simply detects if a circuit is open or closed.

I bought 6 magnetic reed switches and wired them in series to form a big loop. If one of the door is opened it breaks the circuit and triggers the FGK-101 binary input.

I did this for all the cupboards in my house, this is the model of reed switch I used:

Here you can see some of my reed switches in series:

Here you see the wires going back into the FGK-101 binary input:

Each reed switch cost me just $4.75 AUD, very good price!

Have you added temp sensor to that FIBARO System FGK10x ? Did you get any readings out of it ? Or does it simply use temp to make alarms defined in parameters ?

It gets data from the temp sensor for sure. I'm using it to monitor my fride, also to check the fridge door status. Pretty cool 2:1 solution. One note: it's a bit tricky to place the temp sensor into the housing.

Hm ok, because i added ds18b20 to it, but didnt find any device where i could read temp nfo

May I ask if you get the open and the closed message from the external Fibaro input?
I've added two Fibaro Door sensors with external input, but they seems only to report a full open/close cycle.

Do I have to do something special with the settings to get both ON and OFF message separate?
