My project was simple, a sump pump float. The small float has a tiny reed switch in it. I needed a Zigbee Input device (inexpensive) single channel.. Way to hard to find. The closest thing is a relay which has terminals for a local switch. Perfect, I really didn't need a relay to turn anything on bu…

I haven't bought one in while and they have upgraded them but the Ecolink Z-Wave Door and Window sensors (DWZWAVE2.5-ECO) have (or had) screw terminals - I wire alarm reed switches to these for my gates that are outdoors. [image] Zigbee Contact Sensors - External input 🛎️ Get Help …

[image] Culmac: My next purchase MHCozyZG1CH Relay NO-GO same thing as the 1st one. WHY are these such a problem for HUBITAT?? I have the 4-channel version. After pairing, I set it to a Generic ZigBee Multi endpoint switch. Has worked great for me for a year.

These look good and several reviews stated they are using them with Hubitat.. Although one of the ones I tried were the same brand only a slightly different model. The price is right though. I wish it was a simple 'plug and play'. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-SmartThings-Philips-ZBBridge-Requ…

I'm also a big fan of the Zooz ZEN16/ZEN17, but if i absolutely needed something zigbee, I'd look at the Sinope MC3100ZB multi controller. It's not cheap at $80, but if the application warrants, it is probably a rock solid device. [Screenshot_20230326_221002_Chrome] [image] Culmac: Sonoff ZB…

For my project, just knowing when the relay closes due to the local switch is all I need. Currently the Hubitat pairs with the device but I don't see any kind of response. I don't believe the current one 'MHCOZY' paired properly. The flashing LED doesn't stop after the Hubitat supposedly paired.. …

[image] Culmac: don't believe the current one 'MHCOZY' paired properly. The flashing LED doesn't stop after the Hubitat supposedly paired.. There must be some custom code needed for these things First off you should be aware of this warning about the MHCozy Relay from @aaiyar : […

I believe the Sonoff ZB Mini should be working? I think I have seen other people talk about it before. I used two different cheap relays from Ali in my basement and they work great. Now I am not using the switch inputs, only the outputs, but I see no reason why the inputs would not work. Need recom…

[image] jtp10181: Sonoff ZB Mini The problem with the ZBMINI is that it doesn't track the input state. If the input switches back and forth too quickly, the output relay and input switch can get "out of sync." This is likely a deal breaker for any kind of float switch. Again, the device wor…

all the mhcozy relays are supported, we have tested the 1, 2 and 4 channel versions using the multi endpoint switch driver

any suggestions/recommendations for a z-wave equivalent? (ie simple input device)

Why are simple relays so much of a problem?

First off you should be aware of this warning about the MHCozy Relay from @aaiyar:

But these devices do with natively with HE as I have used both the single and dual relay models:
