Everspring temp sensor

Other Devices & Integrations Climate Control & Temperature Sensors

Hey,

I have a temperature sensor from “everspring” [url=http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-everspring-temperature-and-humidity-sensor]http://www.vesternet.com/z-wave-everspring-temperature-and-humidity-sensor[/url] the plan was to make trigger events for different degrees.
For example:
when temp goes below 15 degrees (celsius) turn a switch on for 1 hour
when temp goes above 25 degrees turn a switch off.

I have been playing a bit with triggers for this device , but it looks you can only notify someone when a certain temperature hits. Is it not possible to trigger an event when you get a certain temperature?

thanks,
Cor :-/

Cor,
You can trigger a scene based on temperature from the ST814: Create a new scene; select triggers; select ‘add trigger’; select the ST814 (temperature device, not the parent) from the drop down list of devices; from the list of trigger events select either ‘temperature goes above’ or ‘temperature goes below’; give the trigger a name and enter the temperature above or below which you wish to trigger – e.g. if you select ‘temperature goes above’ and enter a value of 20 then when the ST814 next reports a value of 21 or higher the scene should activate.

You need to remember that by default the Everspring only wakes up every 1800 secs so it can potentially take 30 minutes for Vera to be informed of the change. Enter a value of ‘1’ into configuration parameter 7 of the parent control panel of the ST814. This will cause the ST814 to wake up and report temperature every time the temperature varies by more than one degree. This has less of a drain on the batteries than shortening the wakeup period. Note you need to be using 1.5.408 for this feature to work. Alternatively you could use the Fibaro universal input sensor and potentially get readings every minute or more.

@ Homebots.ie : thanks , I found and understand it now.

The fibaro binary switch is very interesting, espcially since you can hook up more than one temperatuer sensors … that will be a lot cheaper as the everspring sensor.
One will be included in my next order :slight_smile:
