Communitation issue - range

Post by gouranga »

Hardware:
Everspring HSM002
Razberry running latest software version.


The HSM002 was attached on a PVC door (inside the house). Communication keeps failing if it's attached to a door which gives access to the outside. I tried to put the sensor on different location on the door frame, but this resulted in the same issue. I tried to mount the sensor on the different PVC doors, but same result for all doors in the outer wall.

I can move the sensor throughout the whole house (3 floors) and communication seems to be ok. Tested this for more than 8h. There seems to be only one rule: keep the sensor away from the outside wall...

When it's connected to the door the sensor seems to be able to send a signal when the door opens or closes.
It only wakes up 2 times after the door opened or closed and then the wakeup job fails. If the receiver is on an other floor, communication can be unreliable.

Did anyone encounter this behaviour before. I even moved the razberry pi so that it was max 1 m way from the sensor. Still no luck. At first the pi was above the sensor, in a second test I moved the pi lower than the sensor.

Communication ok

This issue is driving me crazy. I want to secure the outside doors. I don't want to detect when a potential burglar already entered the house.

The HSM002 was attached on a PVC door
I guess this is only half of the story. What I know about PVC doors here, is that they do have quite heavy metal frames inside the PVC. If the Z-wave device is mounted on that frame, the radio waves are likely to be severely degraded there.
Some (e.g. Vision ZD2012) of these window/door sensors do have a facility to connect to an external magnetic switch.
