Z-Wave board?
Posted: 23 Aug 2016 00:17
I am wondering if something like this exists and if someone can point me in the right direction.
I've been looking for a circuit board or module that includes the hardware and firmware to handle all of the Z-Wave communication and protocol on its own. In addition this board would contain two I/O contact pins that if connected together (closed circuit) would cause the board to send a Z-Wave event (maybe "On"), then if opened would cause the board to send another Z-Wave event (maybe "Off").
To use this board or module one would only have to supply power (5 volts) and ground connections. The user would also provide whatever it is that generates the closed circuit – maybe a switch, a gate closure, a feed bucket empty …
Does something like this board or module exist?
I've been searching for something like this, but I'm not even sure what it would be called. This would be great to address simple, custom requirements that are currently not supported by commercially available devices.
Thanks,
Barry.
