Alternative for global cache itach wifi contact closure

[schnark]

Hey all,

My set of itach wifi contact closure have given up the ghost and won't connect to wifi anymore, and because they only support adhoc wifi networks, I can't configure them.

Accordingly, I'm looking for a new option, and was thinking about this (QUBINO Z-WAVE 1D RELAY) or something similar. I need a device that can control the curtains and I currently use the gc to switch on the open it close circuits - ie there are two of the three toggles active. I've attached the screenshot for reference on his it works

I believe that a dry contact devices is what I need, but just wanted to check before I went and got replacements, so grateful any advice. I'm looking at something, ideally small, I can easily integrate through a native plugin or simple activity.

You could roll your own solution with Arduino + 4 relay board. I did that for a while with my curtains (open-stop-close). There is an Arduino plug-in for HomeSeer or you can control with simple (event) immediate script commands. As you mentioned, one of the Z-Wave 2 relay options might work. There used to be Z-Wave curtain controllers (3 relays) around - I had one from Monoprice (USA) however I think they are long gone. All in all, the easy solution might just be to replace your iTach if it was working well.
