1-Wire, Z-wave or? Hardware to choose?

Post by baekmark »

Hi all

I need help in choosing the correct hardware to various jobs. Right now I like to get some temperature measurement and that points to 1-Wire! Right?
At the same time I would like to use the Domoticz system to control my awning. Just a manual control to operate it out or in. Later on that might be turned to a more automatic control. What I need here is a relay to simulate the two buttons I have right now. What hardware does this point at? Is that still 1-Wire or?

Thanks for any help or suggestion

At first I was going to say, no. I don't know of any 1-wire relays.

But then I google it("1-wire relay") and found a few hardwares that support 1-wire communcation.

Are you trying to place the temp sensor on the same wire as the awning relay would be?

Never done this before though.

Hi Danoussh

the question was of a more general kind, not just 1-Wire.

As I'm new to this, I would like to use others experience in this field. Why am I listing 1-Wire first? I don't know, just the first I read about.

I found a 1-Wire relay here: http://denkovi.com/1-wire-eight-channel ... automation

I do remember that I have read some where on the internet that latency on a 1-Wire solution is not that good, and that might point to 1-Wire as a primary temperature network.

But what hardware would I choose if I would like to control my awning? I have a Danish made IHC from LK here in Denmark. It has a number of inputs 24V and a number of outputs that can be 24 or 230 volt. My intention was to have a parallel relay over the control buttons that I use to drive the awning out or in. No automatic is in place to operate the awning - EG. Sun, Wind or Rain.

Any suggestion or ideas?

Lars
