First, the high-level use-case:
Now the complicated part:
My NVR comes with a relay module such that when it detects motion it completes the circuit and can turn on a light bulb for example. Rather than turn on a light bulb, I want some sort of Z-Wave module that detects when the load on the circuit. When it gets triggered, then I can detect it and use Homeseer to turn on all my outside light switches.
I feel like "dry contacts" or "wet contacts" maybe what I'm looking for but even after googling them I don't fully understand it and am honestly new to this space and feel like it's probably a pretty simple solution if I even knew the terminology that I should be googling. Thoughts?
- When the NVR (via IP camers) detects people, turn on the front lights.
