Hello all,
I have an older Sunsetter awning on the back porch that I'd like to control with HomeSeer. The awning currently uses a single pole, double throw switch with no return spring. I bought an Enerwave dual load z-wave module, thinking that I'd be able to build enough logic into Homeseer that I could keep both loads from being active at the same time. Unfortunately, the Enerwave module sometimes doesn't report it's status when something changes (it will take up to 5 minutes to report back to HomeSeer). Obviously, having both loads active is a Bad Thing(TM).
Is there a z-wave switch out there that will control two loads, allow me to use the existing switch, and prevent both loads from being active at the same time? I ran across the Fibaro FGS221, which looks promising, but I'm not sure it prevents both loads from being active. It has this setting:
Parameter no. 1 - Activate / deactivate functions ALL ON / ALL OFF. default value 255
Available configuration parameters:
255 - ALL ON active, ALL OFF active.
0 - ALL ON is not active ALL OFF is not active 1 - ALL ON is not active ALL OFF active
2 - ALL ON active ALL OFF is not active
Does anyone know if that prevents both loads from being active at once in any situation? For example: someone commands the awning out via the physical switch, which doesn't automatically return, then a z-wave command is sent to pull the awning in...
