“Very handy unit for converting other devices to Z-wave. My first one now connects the doorbell to the network and incorporates an outside air temperature sensor. All intended thermometers must be connected before the device is included in your network - adding extras (up to 4 total) requires exclusion and re-inclusion. Temperature readings can be taken at intervals up to 255 secs, and reports can be sent either regularly or when the temperatture changes by more than a set amount. There are two switch inputs and two corresponding opto-isolated outputs. Be warned that this device is not low-current: it draws a "steady" 14 mA from a 9 V source, and as such it is hard to operate from batteries.”
“I wanted to turn my hard wired PIR alarm sensor into a zwave device, so I used the Fibaro universal sensor, input 1 to detect motion via the nc output of the sensor and the other input 2 connected to the tamper switch, just to use up the extra switch.”
“I bought the Fibaro Universal Sensor in order to turn my alarm PIRs into z-wave enabled sensors. I have wired it into my alarm panel with the two inputs connected to two PIRs.
I really didn't understand the circuit diagrams on the instruction sheet. Nevertheless I managed to get it connected how I wanted to use it.”
