Getting the Temperature readout out of a LINEAR WAPIRZ-1

Crickett027 · May 27, 2015, 2:15am

I have tried to figure it out on my own but after many searches still in the dark, need some help.

I have bought a motion sensor LINEAR WAPIRZ-1 which also has a temperature sensor level 4 integrated.

When I first executed my inclusion of the device with my Vera only the motion sensor part appeared. I presume then that the temperature is available via some luup program. But this is where I need help I have no clue on how to do this.

The purpose of all this is that I would simply like to be able to monitor the temperature of the room via my smartphone.

And as for the Motion Sensor part; if motion detected, module appliance is turned on and then if no movement is detected for 30 minutes, the module appliance is turned off (turning off an electric Heater via a Thermostat set back controller http://www.x10.com/th2807.html .) This part I should have no problem to create a scene, it looks straight forward.

Please note from the manual: that The PIR uses the SENSOR_MULTILEVEL_V4 command class to report to the Z-Wave Hub a change in the ambient temperature of 1 degree. Every rise or drop of 1 degree will trigger a notification to the Hub. It is up to the Hub and how the consumer programs it to determine actions based on these notifications.

So basically, if I could create a LUUP Code to be able to utilize the Temperature Part of the Sensor so that I can read on my smartphone the actual temperature of the room, I would be an happy camper.

I use Vera UI7
Thanks

I have the same question. Did you ever get this resolved?

I also have this question. Instructions state in should be included as a binary switch, but it includes as a motion detector.

Have you figured it out yet?

Have you looked at the advanced control on the Variables tab of the device. Is there a temperature variable there? It is likely reported there even if it doesn’t have a secondary temperature device.

If you can paste a copy of the “Variables” tab from the advanced page on the device we might be able to figure it out.

I would be interested in how to use the temperature data as well. I can see the “current” value in the variables and it appears to be correct.

here are my variables:

Got news for you, this sensor is actually identical to the Monoprice one… It is made by Vision. So whatever applied to Vision applies here too. There is a manual method and a method going through an app:

Bump for GoControl motion sensors, they do have temperature and using this “extra temperature app” creates a thermometer in vera. All I had to do was download the extra temperature app, enter the ID of my GoControl motion sensor in the settings, reset the vera and it showed up.

I’m very pleased with this. I also bought a ecolink motion sensor, thinking it was superior to the GoControl based on price and reviews but I beg to differ. The ecolink has a 4 minute time-out period where as the GoControl is 3 (and I think you can change it in the settings), plus the temperature in the GoControl which the ecolink doesn’t have. Strange as they look almost identical internally.
