Working Temperature Sensors still available ?

Post by solarboy »

After struggling with reliability with Zwave/Qubino I bought a RFXtrx433E a while back but I am struggling to find sensors to buy that work with it. I looked through the hardware list but nothing seems to be still available in Europe through ebay or Amazon, and I have already experimented with similar items without success.

What I am looking for is some outdoor temp+humidity sensors and I would very much appreciate any links to currently available "working with Domoticz" sensors.

Any information gratefully received :)

I just received mine and it works well except Domoticz keeps adding it as a new device rather than keeping the existing device number. I'll try changing the batteries to see if that resolves things. It also added it under 2 different device types, Alecto WS170 and Rubiscon (missing the humidity sensor). I shall report back with more findings.

OK, forget my last post, I think I worked it out, I needed to un-check "accept new hardware devices" in settings ; it's never been something I bothered about with my zwave devices.
