Arduino based zwave project board

Just received an update about a company that has created a zwave board that looks rather interesting. Sadly I do not see any US vendors but I am interested if anyone has ever played with one of these.

Per their forums, they will have a US ordering location by the end of March!

looks very interesting… but at ~ $60 I think it’s too pricey for most applications

This looks great. Thanks! I know it is a bit pricey, but for an application where you need to connect multiple sensors/actuators it is the easiest way. For example I want to measure temperature of my floor heating system (water based). I want to know the inlet, outlet and room temperature. Plus optionally control the water pump. I could not find z-wave device where you could measure more than 1 temperature at the time. Hence this is a better choice, especially since I don’t mind doing a bit of DIY stuff :slight_smile:

If you want a DIY job for measuring IN/OUT-Let waterbased floorheating, the following may serve as an example. I have just done the same using a NodeMCU ESP8266 board with one wire DS18B20 temp. devices. Create a virtual device in Vera and upload using the arduine sketch, temperature measurements to VERA using, e.g.:

client.print(“GET /data_request?id=variableset&DeviceNum=”);
client.print(DeviceNr);
client.print(“&serviceId=urn:upnp-org:serviceId:TemperatureSensor1&&Variable=CurrentTemperature&Value=”);
client.print(temperature,1);
client.println(" HTTP/1.0");
client.println();

The circuitboard can be found:

I’m using the following temperature probes:

For pump switching, I’m just using a FIBARO wall plug.
Hope this is of help to you.
