Hi
I am looking for a door/window sensors for a while and all of them I found are in range $20-30 per unit. I need 10 of them and I don’t want to spent $200 Lowes has a deal for their Iris sensor but I cannot find any information what kind of technology is that. I have Z-Wave stick connected to my Raspberry.
I heard that Iris decices were zigbee technology. If this is the case, can I have zwave and zigbee stick working at the same time? I assume yes I can but there are so many bumps on the road with openhab and it might be not so obvious.
Yes. In fact, for awhile there was a combo controller/coordinator for sale though reports are that the Zigbee part never really worked all that well. I have one but haven’t tried to do anything with Zigbee yet.
It’s a really good price right now ($10). Unfortunately, if a review on Amazon is true, Iris doesn’t implement the standard Zigbee protocol so it will not work without the hub. Unfortunately this is not uncommon.
Thanks! I skipped these ones. There is a hot topic right now for more or less the same topic - cheap options. I and think I will go with Xiaomi hub and sensors.
Actually, I have these on all my doors/windows and they performed flawlessly with my SmartThings Hub for years. They also report temperature. I just need to figure out how to get them working with OH.
