Hi, looking for a zwave temp sensor for £10.

Most zwave devices like fibaro, aeon ..etc are all in the range of £30 or higher.

Any ideas or suggestions will be much appreciated.

Many thanks,
-krish

impossible, go for 443 MHz sensors on temperature

Also, if am using 433 MHz sensors, how do I integrate that with Domoticz? is there another library like openzwave which could be used?

You need one of these:
http://www.rfxcom.com/store/Transceivers/14103
All devices will come under "Devices",

Stuff that works with it:

I use this:

@Evelen - thanks for the info.

I had a few additional questions...

I am planning to use RPi with "RFXtrx433E USB 433.92MHz Transceiver"

If I already have domoticz installed on RPi then, all that is required to be done from Linux per se is to install "Mono" and use it to run RFXflash.exe program when I need to upgrade the firmware on RFXtrx433E? Do I need to upgrade the firmware on RFXtrx433E when I receive it?

Aside from that is it safe to assume that once I have RPi connected(usb) to RFXtrx433E with Domoticz running on RPi, there is no additional sw installation required on RPi?

How does one enable/disable protocols on RFXtrx433E - is that done via domoticz?

Many thanks.

If you use switches or dimmers from qubino you can connect an temperature sensor in this price range to the switch.
The big advantage is that it is powered. I hate to change (and pay) batteries ;)

I found Cresta TX-320 - but it doesn't seem to be available in the UK and shipment costs from Netherlands is around euro 19.

Any suggestions on cheap Temp/Humidity sensor under £10 - compatible with RFXtrx433E/Domoticz?
