I wanted to share my experience with integrating a Fibaro Universal Sensor to create a combined Contact/Motion/Temperature sensor. This project was a bit of a challenge, but I managed to get it working perfectly with some trial and error. Here’s how I did it:1. Hardware Setup: I used a Fibaro Universal Sensor along with a Reed contact sensor, HC-SR501 PIR Motion Sensor, and a DS18B20 Temperature Sensor. The key was wiring everything correctly and ensuring the temperature sensor was connected before including the device in the Z-Wave network.2. Firmware Configuration: The Fibaro sensor requires specific firmware configuration. I found that the PIR sensor needed a transistor to emulate a switch due to voltage issues. This was a crucial step that I initially overlooked.3. Device Type Configuration: I created a custom device type code for this setup. The code is available on GitHub and includes detailed configurations for each sensor type. Check it out here!4. Testing & Fine-Tuning: After setting everything up, I tested each sensor individually to ensure they were working as expected. The motion sensor was particularly sensitive, so I adjusted its sensitivity settings to avoid false triggers.This project has been a great learning experience, and I’m excited to share it with the community. If anyone has similar projects or tips, I’d love to hear about them!—Other Interesting Finds from the Community:- If you’re struggling with Zigbee device integration, check out this thread for troubleshooting tips.- For those interested in smart locks without visible wiring, this discussion might have the solution you’re looking for.- If you’re working with Hue sync on Android TV, this guide could help you get it working smoothly.Let’s keep the knowledge sharing going! ![]()
