Monitor 12 V batts, but not by WiFi

Greetings Awesome Hubitat Folks!
Is there a "Shelly" type product, that works on Z-Wave (& not WiFi), to monitor voltage?
I have the same question pondered by many. The best answer was the "Shelly" device, which I am going to buy, so as to experiment for different future projects.
Thanks to everyone, @Cobra , @tomw , @Sebastien ...man I know I left out bunches of great people!
But same deal over here......... garage, 12 V DC batteries, generator, etc.
However.... my WiFi does not reach the garage. I do not want to add WiFi extender. Z-Wave is very good in garage (Aeotec Z-Wave repeater - it's also a good night light)...
Thoughts?
Searched our "board", Internet, not seeing anything....
Thanks everyone! Gotta' love this community!

I would think you could use the Fibaro FGBS-222 with a caveat.
I use these for temp but not for voltage via the analogue inputs.
It measure 0-10 VDC but if you used a voltage divider, say 2 * 100K resistors, and set up a piston or rule to double the reading you would get a 0-20 VDC swing.
Not sure about the impedance so the resitor values may need adjusting if there is a marked change in the bridge measurement when connected.
That's my theory anyway. :wink:

Ahhha.............. @dnickel ...Thanks very much for the quick response. I will check this out. It does look very interesting.

I have complained a bit on my new Fibaro (door Window / window, Sensor 2. FGWD-002 (1) us Ver 3.2 ZW5 - see other thread) about long company tech support response times, & other small issues, that I'm somewhat reluctant to buy more of Fibaro gear. But I know that company is big, & your mentioned device does looks interesting.

Not much at all to select from it seems. Thank you again!

I used these device, if a bit overkill, to get me off of my ST hub once and for all.
I do agree the window/door contacts were fussy to connect and to get consistent. I ordered 2 of these as well to replace some range anxietied Aqara ZB ones that just couldn't do the distance.

Excellent, thanks so much again, @dnickel !
I'm a former (hate to say the word...... :slight_smile: ) Wink person. Used Wink for years, & then those intense connectivity issues, etc. Read heavily about Hubitat, which I now LOVE, but admit I was somewhat scarred about the "programming" (which I know it is not, for the user), & hesitant about moving over.
So, so glad I did!
Thanks.

Bumping this thread/post because I find myself looking for a non-WiFi product for the same reason as you. In my case the ZigBee mesh is well blanketing the area I'd like to have a 12VDC battery monitor.

@iharyadi are you still making devices that can do this in ZigBee?

Any successful answer to this question?

Afternoon velvetfoot,

I guess, not really. Or else not posted.
Bummer.
