I am hoping to find a Z-Wave module that would simplify the conversion of a standard outdoor floodlight motion detector to a 2-way Z-Wave controllable fixture.
In my old home I rigged up an Opto22 type interface module to an alarm input that gave me a 1-way indication that motion had been detected, but here I would like to have the floodlights under Z-wave control as well.
The Aeotec dry contact modules look to be a partial solution but still require a relay for control of the lighting elements. Ideally a module that sends a Z-Wave signal when it detects a 120V and close a isolated contact when I send it a Z-Wave signal.
A faster response option would be to use an alarm system input and command outputs but this would require input and output relays that would need to be potted in epoxy, and also a station wire connection to the alarm panel.
Appreciate any feedback if you've attempted this sort of thing.
