Hello guys (girls here as well?),
In response of this thread [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,10795.0.html]http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,10795.0.html[/url] I am opening a new thread for this device[url=http://www.connectedhomes.eu/fibaro-z-wave-switch-relay-insert-1-x-3-0-kw] Domain Details Page , since the Fibaro roller shutter probably won’t work for me since one pole of Fibaro switch must be connected to mains live.
I have an electric gate; to open - stop or close the gate a connection has to be made between 2 pins on the circuit board. This is done by means of a simple springloaded button/knob/switch (which simply connects 2 wires). The circuit board runs on 5V.
Initially I planned to buy this roller-shutter switch from fibaro , but in the mentioned thread someone said one pole needs to be connected to the mains live, which would mean 240 volts (europe) would be part of the switching.
Now I am thinking of buying this relay switch: [url=http://www.connectedhomes.eu/fibaro-z-wave-switch-relay-insert-1-x-3-0-kw/]Domain Details Page
This would do the trick I think. one side wil have the mains (240 volts) and the other side does a simple on-off switching. In my case it needs to do “off -3 seconds on- off”.
If the connection is made longer is 8 seconds the gate goes into a setup mode, which I obviously don’t want.
The other question related to this, I understand I can create an event in vera3 to have this relay off (open) as default, when I press a switch on a remote for example, the relay closes (on) for 3 seconds and opens than again(off). These events can be programmed by the second? , is this correct?
many thanks,
cor
