I have had in my system for quite a few years a Nortek FS20Z-1 “Fixture module receiver” providing a z-wave controlled dry relay. It recently died, so I am looking for a replacement, but unfortunately it seems that this device is no longer manufactured. Can anyone suggest a current device that could replace it?
My requirements (which the FS20Z-1 met) are this:
Fit in a single gang box
powered my line voltage (120V/60Hz)
Provide an isolated dry contact output that simply opens/closes a separate circuit
It does NOT need to be able to switch a large load, or, really, any load. It is just opening/closing a “button”
type contact
I’ve seen a couple of options that theoretically could work, except for the power issue - they run on low voltage, which would mean I would somehow need to fit both them and a power supply into the same single-gang box, which would seem to be challenging at best. Maybe if I got a small enough power supply, and the device itself was small?
That looks like it runs on 9V power, so I would have to pair it with a power supply of some sort (I think it comes with a plugin supply, but I only have wires in the box…), but as long as it is small enough to fit both in the wall box, yes this could be an option.
I suppose, though, I could put an outlet in the wall box and then rig up a small shelf or something to set this and its power supply on. Could be an option.
That looks like an excellent option (even better than the FS20Z-1 actually), but that link is showing sold out as well (at least for me). I’ll look around and see if I can find one somewhere. Thanks!
