I’ve been experimenting with the Fibaro Smart Implant Module, and I must say, it’s been an interesting journey. While configuring the module, I noticed some quirks that I thought others might find useful to know. Here’s what I’ve discovered:
First, I configured both inputs as analog with high sensitivity. For testing, I used a simple 9V battery. Initially, I was getting some readings, though not entirely accurate. However, the real challenge came when I disconnected the battery. The value for IN1 remained the same for about a minute before dropping to zero. This behavior was puzzling, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was a bug or if there was something I was missing in the setup.
After some research and trial and error, I found that the issue might be related to how the module handles voltage measurements. It seems that once a voltage is detected, the sensor takes a moment to reset, which explains the delay in dropping to zero. While this isn’t critical for my current application, it’s something to keep in mind for future projects.
Another observation was that while the voltage measurement seemed a bit buggy, the simple “open/close” check worked perfectly. This made me realize that sometimes, sticking to the basics can save a lot of headaches. I also noticed that the module ignored any input in IN2 after the initial measurement, which I found a bit limiting. I’m curious if others have encountered similar issues or if there’s a workaround for this.
Overall, the Fibaro Smart Implant Module is a versatile tool, and with a bit of tweaking, it can be a valuable addition to any smart home setup. If anyone has insights or tips on optimizing its performance, especially regarding voltage measurements, I’d love to hear them! Happy experimenting!
