Still working perfectly.
Just now on HE instead of ST
So I know if there is a power loss it will not fail to notify because of the ST cloud going down.

I don't remember the relay part # but it's a small 5VDC relay I got at a local electronics shop.
You can use the relay or no relay depending on what you are monitoring. I use the relay for instant notification when power is post. Without the relay, depending on the USB adapter. It could take up to a minute for discharge of the USB for notification.

This was the reason I ended up using a USB hub and magicJack to quickly draw away any stored power from the usb adapter.

Thank you everyone for the replies!
@JBrown thank you so much for the pictures and part numbers. I went through a few Arduino kits I had bought for the kids and found the same. I had an unused Ecolink sensor that is now in use for this project. Working great and reports immediately with the transistor and resistor. I ended up using the screw terminals versus soldering to the circuit board.
Thanks again!

Hmmm. I have those parts in my workbench and I would love to get rid of my USB hub hack. New mini-project for this weekend...thanks for sharing your success.

I couldn't wait till this weekend to test it 
It worked perfectly with virtually no delay....best of all, NO usb hub and NO MagicJack required. Solder and shrink wrap will have to wait for this weekend though. Thanks again!

@stephack I was putting mine in its final location and noticed that it only reports open/closed events IF I pull the USB cable from the brick. The brick doesn't even have to be energized: when disconnected its open and when plugged in the brick its closed. In other words if I leave the USB in the brick and plug it into the wall or pull it out there is no difference. Are you experiencing the same? Maybe these screw terminals won't work and I need to solder it to the board.
@JBrown any thoughts on this issue?
Nope. It works connected to the brick for me. When you unplug the brick, wait at least 20 seconds to see if the status changes. The brick can hold a residual charge that takes a while to dissipate. This was the reason I used the USB hub and magicjack. With @JBrown's method, it works without the hub for me, but I'm still wondering if that's your issue. I'm also assuming your final location isn't next to the sensor's magnetic counterpart.
I also just remebered... I had something similar when I tried this the first time and it turned out that the USB cable I used had too thin a gauge (a really old iPhone cable). @Navat604 recommended trying a different cable and then it worked fine.

Hum that could be it because I used a really old UPS cable and the gauge was around 28 or so. Back to the drawing board 
Hopefully I won't burn my finger again with the soldering iron. I will test with a bread board like you did first.
Stephan, is that a monoprice contact? I never got it working with my Ecolink and just received a few monoprice sensors. The external contact doesn’t appear to work. Did you have to do anything to enable it? I tried Zwave tweaked and maybe I am doing something wrong. 
I believe it goes under different brands. It's a GoControl but I believe it also goes under a Linear and Ecolink brands. I know there was an updated version from Ecolink (zwave plus I think) that had the external contacts in a different place. My contacts are near the top. Your pic looked different.
And I'm also using a modified version of the contact sensor driver. I took @Cobra's Contact/Switch driver and modified it to serve this purpose. I dont even remember what I changed at this point, but I can share once I get a chance to sit at my pc.
This is the driver I'm using. I think all I added was the on() and off() commands so I can manually change the settings for testing purposes....maybe a couple of other small modifications. Otherwise, it's @Cobra driver that can receive updates from the external contacts and also acts as an on/off switch. For my scenario I have the Reverse Switch Mode preference enabled so the following applies.
No power = contact open = switch off
Power = contact closed = switch on
This way it shows my device "Power Detector" as "On" when I have power.

Thanks for the driver unfortunately it doesn’t work but I am unsure if the external contacts work. The instructions say that I have to set 0x01 parameter to 0xFF and I am trying to figure out if I am doing that correctly. I have a reed sensor somewhere around here that I need to find and hook up to this sensor to validate it’s working.
You also need to put the cover back on or hold down the tamper switch for the external switch to work reliably.

Yup..if you look at my post you will notice the screwdriver laying on the tamper switch. Otherwise it won't report the power changes.
1 Like
Yes thanks, definitely doing that.
To verify a change, I even put my multisensor on tone and verify if I place probes on top of 2 screws with power brick plugged in, it tones (closed) and when I disconnect power tone stops. This thing isn't reporting any changes on the external contacts. I even downloaded Rboys Monoprice DH since it has a preference to enable/disable it and still nothing.
I am getting 1.5VDC on the external contacts when the brick is plugged in.
How about put a magnet close to the Reed and leave it in closed while operating the external switch?

Unfortunately no dice. I have tried to set parameter 1 to enable the external sensor a bunch of different ways and every time I change back over to the basic z-wave tool to check its value it never changes. This is very frustrating.
