Fortrezz water freeze sensor in Luup

MCV the Fortrezz sensor does not show temp in this new beta release.
Is there something I need to do. I do have a early version. It worked however in the non Luup firmware.

Does it work now?

How often Fortrezz wakes up to report a temperature?

It works for me. I had it working from 918 all the way through 940. It does not wake up too often though… It may take up to an hour to initially display the temperature and also to reset the tripped state. So I guess that’s the wake-up interval. Of course, it reports alarm/tripped state much faster - usually in few seconds.

Yes its been working since they fixed it.

How do you setup the target temperature?
I’m thinking to use it to control heater in the bedroom - if temp goes below comfort zone - turn it on, when it’s OK, turn it off - possible?

Not possible now.

Not possible what? If it’s freeze sensor it should know the temp, shouldn’t it?

Not possible what you asked if possible :slight_smile:

Basically, while it reports temperature, Vera can’t use it as an event. Temp sensor in HSM100 can be used this way though.

Weirrrd! Freeze sensor doesn’t work as freeze sensor!
Do we have a bug opened on this?

HSM100 can’t be used for this - it simply reports temperature once in a while, I’m looking for something that would signal if temperature crosses threshold.

The fortrezz does report an alarm when Freezing.
I suppose you can write a luup event

Ok guys, I lost you.
Can I tell the sensor what I consider “freezing”? I’m freezing if temp goes below 66F

It will trigger an alarm when IT thinks it’s freezing :slight_smile:

There is no event like “temperature reached” in Vera to react on ANY set temperature though

You keep editing your messages… :slight_smile:

FortrezZ reports current temperature every time it wakes up, like HSM100 (btw, I was not suggesting to use it for this, just making an example)

FortrezZ also “trips”, like a motion sensor, when either water leak detected or freezing temperature reached. AFAIK, you can’t pre-set this temperature.

What I was saying, unlike HSM100, Vera can’t even use the temperature it reads from FortrezZ in scenes, as you can’t add it as an event “temp reached”. Which is IMHO a software bug.

I think I added this line about 20 sec after I first posted that.

Looks like a bug - but it’s not unless someone goes and opens one.

I contacted Fortrezz, what they say is

  • WWA-01 wakes up to report temperature once in 4 hours, this is configurable
  • WWA-01 freeze sensor triggers an alert at about 4 degrees C, and it’s hardcoded value
  • their “in development” WWA-03 has configurable temperature settings, at least for now

Ok, my FortrezZ WWA-01 started buzzing all the time! I opened it up and on the accessible side of the PCB there is only a battery (3.6V Li-ion, 1/2AA) and a buzzer/beeper. So, unless I remove the battery, it keeps buzzing - resetting it won’t help either. Has anyone every seen this??

From WWA-01 description:
3.6V lithium battery included will alert user when battery should be changed

Interesting way of alerting… :slight_smile:
Plus it should work for at least a year and it’s been only few months

The VERA default wake up notification interval for the water sensor is 1800 seconds. Waking up every 30 minutes is un-necessary for this device. We suggest wake up to be every 4 hours (14400 sec). This will dramatically save battery life.

How would I access the wakeup interval to change it? My Fortrezz doesn’t show a wakeup interval like my Express Controls 3-in-1s do.
