Z Wave Door Sensor Reddit

I recently purchased a used cheap 40 kwikset deadbolt that is supposed to be z wave compatible.

Z wave door sensor reddit.

I know zero about it. Outdoor z wave motion sensors are as elusive as z wave canopy fan controllers. Is it possible that the hub and the sensor are too far apart. I tried with a 433mhz door sensor but i felt the connection was just a bit too unreliable at range so instead i ordered a z wave me razberry card since it said it had a 200m range and a telldus magnetic switch sensor.

For a while everything was working fine. They regularly recognize make break events and trigger accordingly. Op asked about the new z wave plus sensors not currently compatible with wink. I m using the older version.

You might need to use another z wave device as a repeater z wave is a mesh network after all if the distance is pretty far away. I think the aeotec multi sensor claims to be ip66 rated but reviews on outside use seem to be pretty bad. I also purchased the gocontrol pack of two door window sensors plus motion sensor for 40 something on amazon. Also interested in this.

99 sure these monoprice no name sensors are the same linear made sensors sold under gocontrol and another name. I have a bunch of the monoprice z wave recessed door sensors and a few of their z wave controlled outlets all running hassio on a pi 3 and an aotec z wave stick. My hopes were that z wave would have a longer range but the primary reason was that i was under the impression that. Now when i open my front door all of the z wave outlets turn on and when i close the door they all turn off.

I am a z wave noob.
