Can anyone recommend a (ideally Zwave) supported keypad that works with Hubitat?
(I’d like to use it with Hermes).
Thanks.
Don't know what Hermes is, but the Iris keypads work well. Check Ebay. Their older gen 1 keypads(~14.99) are larger but work amazing with @iris driver. Mine is going on 3 years with the original batteries.https://www.ebay.com/itm/168527536888?_skw=iris+keypad&itmmeta=01KYW95H19H0W8142WF9YHWJPX&hash=item273d0622f8:g:BBAAAOSwtPFglD9H&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA8GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xDKu72UmejOkkpK8nuryXZh9N9YTWhz1jB5VrEE58ZfmxYnjMwEH2w%2FVMWUB4ZQI93nN4QvWJsm76NRiJDG3vCSnHgW4SGj7e4Q%2FeIocWYTtjGxbCxh69AQGWDALXNXWIQjwhsM5ezhMf9HvfW5GTOvyAalpQzAC%2FMiwVE499YxuqRMAOHxVLFl2TnzIkJB9eI3RvnPiV5aDs%2FqaCgLbpMS7M9VTjlNQz0gRGrSzH83hkYYkilwO279c9NypogKogxjE2EG71RqbnVkpOhyiBFRHwiRowImAbMAxWAioWs7Cg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR_6Qlon3Zw
OOPS if you have a C8 you can't pair these keypads, sorry but you can check the newer Iris versions

When you say Hermes are you talking about the AI Agent?
The only Zwave keypads i am aware of is the Ring Keypad. They require S2 and as such a Zwave 700 or 800 radio.
Some folks have found them a bit diffficult to get working though so keep that in mind. I am not sure about the best way to make this work with the new Ring stuff though. If someone could expalian that it could help.
Probably this Hermes:
I don’t think that imposes any additional requirements beyond choosing a keypad that’s compatible with Hubitat anyway (see link to compatible devices list posted above).
That was the first thing I did. Most of the articles are a few years old, and none answered my question which is why I asked.
Thanks. It’s the newly released home dispatch solution. Essentially so you can add dispatch services for your Hubitat alarm (HSM) set-up.
Thanks. Some appear to have better suppprt with HSM, and some have connectivity issues, so was looking for recommendations on something that works reliably.
I picked up a Frient, and a Ring v2. I’ll play with both to see what works best.
Wow the Frient seems pricey, especially when you're a CAA( cheap azz automater). the Iris keypads have been great, if you'll consider Zigbee, as I know you said Z-wave originally.
I have had the Ring keypad Gen 2 since for a few years. It is connected directly to the hub for the most part it works well. It is the canary in the coal mine though. If my Zwave network is going to have a issue it is the first device to show it.
Most of the difficulty is getting it first paired and then disabling the proximity sensor. That seems to be important on newer firmwares for it to be reliable. I kind of wonder if the situation is different with some of the ring integration software recently released.
Thank you. That is helpful.
Also if you have a C8 Pro i would suggest making sure you are on Zwave JS instead of the Zip/Gateway software.
Thank you, but I have no idea what the difference between the two are or even how to change them.
Go to Settings -> Z-Wave details
If you are on Z/IP gateway (aka legacy), you'll get the choice to switch to ZWaveJS. If your hub is on ZWaveJS, you'll get the choice to switch to legacy (like my hub below).
A forum search will reveal the differences between the two. Suffice it to say that Z/IP gateway is no longer being developed. While ZWaveJS is, and generally performs better.
Thank you. I will look into it. Appreciate the recommendation.
I appreciate this. I'm going to make the switch.
