Title: Z wave secondary/primary support
Post by: jamenlang on August 14, 2014, 10:25:52 am

I have an existing z wave controller (2gig go control) for my alarm system, I was hoping to add the almond as a primary controller so I could get sensor information from almond as well as have non alarm z-wave sensors.

I was able to pair the almond to the system but it says unknown device on both the almond and go control panel.

This is not something that's all that easy to do, as in as much as this is part of the Z-Wave specification, each and every gateway manufacturer has their own unique quirks and ways of doings things.
As such it's quite easy to have a secondary controller from the same manufacturer, but really quite hard to do with a gateway from another company.
