Get ZWN-RSM2 to work

[Dudeness30]

I have a Enerwave ZWN-RSM2 that I want to use one the Almond+. It includes fine but I can not control it. I set it as multi switch. Any ideas?

[Dudeness30]

I removed it and added it again then rebooted. It is working now, but slow to respond.

Has anyone else tried operating this relay on 24v ac? It seems to work. I am testing it for a plant watering setup. The valves are 24 vac.

Dudeness - Thanks for your post. I was looking into the Enerwave unit and was hesitant to purchase it until your post.

I too installed mine as a Multi-switch and it works fine.

Being an electronics tech. I have tested mine prior to installing permanently and believe I have an answer for you.

I attempted using a 24VAC power supply from ADEMCO.

I was unable to get the unit to power and function. I also tested using a 120 constant input and triggering with 24 volts.

The unit powered up but the 24 volt inputs would not trigger the 120 output.

The issue with the multi-switch doing what you want is that it requires a 120 volt constant AND 120 volt triggers.

Suggestion:

Now with a simple SPST 120 Relay and a 24vac Power supply.  Powering the  Enerwave from the 120v  and the aux output will trigger  the relay. switching the dry contacts which you can use to switch the 24 vac.

Good Luck

Also, I have use this one http://www.thesmartesthouse.com/products/zl-7432us-in-wall-switch-2-relay. It is about the same price.  On the website there is a "Installer Zone" where if you need more than one you can get discounts. I bought a six pack from them and have used 3 in the new house. Two as multi-switch and one as a binary switch. All seemed to work so far. BTW, The reason I configured the multi-switch as binary, I used it on a GFCI, so there was no place for the second switch.
I did not know any devices would work on low voltage. I have never tested the Vision on low voltage.
There is only one dry contact that I have found. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00913ATFI/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1O77D5UJY7IVU I have one that I put into a power strip at the old house. I have not tested it on the Almond yet. The devices I had installed at the old house, I left. It needed a little dress up to help sell it, which I hope is soon. :-)
