Tilt Sensor

[govee]

I was looking at the IRIS Garage Door Controller and realized that the system does not (I think) use a Z-wave interface between the tilt sensor and the controller, but uses Z wave between the controller and the IRIS or in this case Almond. What does the tilt sensor use to communicate to the controller? I already have a chamberlain monitor system (CLDM1) with a tilt sensor on the door. Is the chamberlain sensor interoperable with the IRIS controller?

I was also considering the Ecolink Z Wave tilt Sensors http://www.amazon.com/ECOLINK-Z-Wave-Garage-Door-Sensor/dp/B00HGVJRX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406929517&sr=8-1&keywords=iris+door+sensor Would these work instead of the IRIS controller? Seems maybe the more direct sensor to almond route might be better?

Not sure and I don't think we've tested either as yet.

Meh, The Almond sees the device but can not add it....The IRIS device does not have the "speaks Zwave" marking the thermostat does so maybe its a problem.

[LGNilsson]

Can you provide a link to the device?
As I presume it's not this one? http://www.lowes.com/pd_589237-78427-GD-00Z-1_0__?productId=50213045

Have you tried this Lowe's tilt garage door sensor?

Its a very small ZigBee 802.15.4 tilt sensor. Its a little bigger than the size of a quarter. Apparently they make them for Control4, Iris and SmartThings.

Ah, yes. we just got some samples for NYCE and that's one of the things we received. Didn't know Lowe's sold them.
Expect support in a couple of firmware updates, as it's not going to make it into the next one, at least as long as the Lowe's version doesn't have a different firmware.

This is the item I am referencing.

We haven't had a chance to get one in yet, but I've added it to the list. For something like that we're going to have to add support as it's a non standard device.

I received the Ecolink tilt sensor and it joins easily. I am given the option to join it as 4 different sensors. I chose door sensor as tilt was not an option. The almond does not recognize any tilt change (or any state change as far as I can see). The sensor does have an LED that flashes to indicate the state change and it is working. any suggestions?

I was looking at using the EcoLink tilt sensors.  Any update on whether they will work?

[madigral]

Works as a motion sensor in R066.

[LGNilsson]

I've asked for this to be integrated properly with its own unique UI.

[obmd1]

Has this been completed as of R70as?

[govee]

Works as a tilt sensor now.
