I just replaced half of my garage door solution (Fibaro Smart Implant*) with a Shelly Wave 1, so now the FSI is just the sensor, and the Wave 1 is the relay.
@bravenel or @bcopeland could we please have the parameter 19 auto off capability exposed in the preferences? I had to use the basic zwave tool to configure this, and if configure button is accidentally pressed, it sets this back to zero.
*If you get a status bounce from your sensor, the FSI will send a command to the relay for that input, reopening your door.
Not saying no… I really want more information… I have typically not put in configuration parameters for things that can be handled in automation rules… What is your use case here?
I’ve switched to using the Shelly Wave 1 Output 1 as button presser for my garage door motor. I send a 1 second press to trigger the motor, and I’m using parameter 19 to enable that duration ATM.
Auto-off is a built in feature controlled by parameter 19. As per the Shelly doco I linked above, this is a recommended / supported configuration.
I just got fed up with the Fibaro Smart Implant inputs being coupled to the outputs. I’ll occasionally get my sensor flip flopping between open and closed, and when that happens, the FSI reopens the garage door on its own.
@bcopeland It's worth noting, that the Shelly Wave series are some of the only Z-wave modules I'm aware of that will run on 24v DC as well as Mains AC power.
This makes them ideal for Garage door control and other low voltage applications that work best with an integrated Auto-off capability.
@bcopeland any update on exposing this option please?
PS, I did some testing with rules, and getting reliable sub-second button press durations is nearly impossible. My garage door is very sensitive to the contact duration (any more than 500 ms results in the door starting then stopping) and using the built in timer is 100% reliable, using rules is not, it's maybe 60% reliable which isn't good enough for a garage door.
