Hi All,
Wondering if anyone can help with a bit of a dilemma I’m having regarding sensors for my Openhab setup. I’ve been using Openhab for a couple of months and it’s connected to a few devices such as Hue bulbs and Wemo plugs. So I can start really seeing the benefits of the Openhab software, I’m chasing a sensor which will do motion, temperature and humidity logging (Aeotec multisensor looks ideal).
I hoping someone can comment on:
- if one of the ZWave USB stick’s are available in Australia, they’re at a cost of $99. This plus 3 sensors is running into the region of $340. Rumour is that Smart things will launch in Australia so I feel somewhat cheated by this price point…
- Is Z-Wave still the way to go or could it be a better option to get a custom sensor built based on wifi and some off the shelf components? (given power cabling for these devices is not so much of an issue)
Cheers,
Murray
