Fibaro and Z-wave.uno

Post by fogmajor »

Hi
Please excuse my ignorance but I was wondering if someone would be able to point me in the right direction. I own a Fibaro HC2 which I have just about come to terms with. I am unhappy about having to use specific Z wave products so I purchased a Z-Uno. I have managed to set it up in sketch and also managed to add it to my z wave network using a basic blink example.
This is what I am trying to achieve. I need to control multiple relays (home made board) connected to the z-uno via fibaro.
I don't need sensors just as many I/O as I can. I would normally post my attempts at code but am at a loss.

In anticipation many thanks

Regards
Andrew

There are some examples that will do that.
'Simple Switch', or 'Four power relays' add more Outputs if needed.

It's normal to use opto isolators to protect z-uno from the relays.

Hi Micky1500
Many thanks for your prompt and informative reply.
I have downloaded the sketch and uploaded to the z-uno without issue.
I then put Fibaro in learning mode, activate the Z-uno and the board is discovered. Should it display all 4 outputs is do you have to step through them?

I don't know about the Fibaro HC2
But if you see the bottom picture in the example.
It shows 4 output controls (in Russian) in a z-wave page, I would think Fibaro should do something similar.
