There seem to be a million devices I can use for a Z-Wave dry contact, but anyone know of any Zigbee devices that are HE compatible? Looking for something I can wire up to another device that has a normally open relay.
@njanda found one:
@njanda where did you find this wonderful device available for purchase?
I think it was some aliexpress seller, further up in that thread.
Yeah, I'm not finding it on there when I search unfortunately
Yep that’s the one.
I ordered 4 units which took about 4-5 weeks to come out to Aus from China.
The DHL shipping was delayed due to some priority supplies that needed shipping.
Any feedback on this device?
Have you had a chance to test it's repeating ability, or lack thereof?
Thanks.
Still hasn’t arrived. COVID-19 funness...
oops, meant to tag @njanda also.
The device works great as a dry contact switch but I don’t have anything routing through it so I can’t make any real claims regarding it’s routing ability.
If I had to say something about it, it’d be that because it’s Tuya based, I reckon it’ll “route” fine but I doubt it’ll have much “range”, If you were looking for such a 2 in 1 type device.
Some people seem to equate “routing” with “range extenders”, which seems wrong in my experience.
Thanks for the feedback.
Seems like a very handy device for a lot of applications.
As for it's routing abilities I'm mostly concerned if it will play nice in a mesh, or act like some bulbs and other crap repeaters, and slow everything to a crawl.
Any chance you've stumbled across a dry contact zigbee sensor as well?
It’s operating in my Zigbee mesh beautifully. I’ve got a few Lightify globes, Iris contacts, Iris motions, Tradfri routers, SmartThings contacts and a couple of those cheap Chinese Zigbee Inline power switches.
For a Zigbee Dry contact - I’d be modding a SmartThings door contact sensor.
They’re super reliable, good on batteries and easily modded
I have one of these devices also, using it as a dry contact for my garage door.
Can confirm its working great!
Tho it is only 3m max away from my hub!!!
Hi all
Does anyone here know how to reset the MS-104Z to get it into pairing mode..?
Tried the power Off/On 3 times and 5 times, but no luck..
From other topic:
As noted in the other topic, I seem to recall that you toggle the SWITCH connected to the device, 5 times, whilst it is powered up.
NOT toggling the devices power 5 times.
How can a person shop on alibaba.com and have any confidence in what they are getting? No documentation... conflicting specs on wireless protocols... broken English... etc. Seems like a gamble that you'll get what you think you're buying. I'd easily pay an extra few bucks just to buy from a reputable reseller.
All that aside... can anyone here vouch for that exact link being a legitimate dry contact relay with zigbee communication? I know there are no guarantees but even just an "it worked for me" might help boost my confidence.
nope
But... "it worked for me" 4 pack but yeah no guarantees.
