My yet to complete Z-wave home automation
I'm using the Honeywell Lynx 5100 with US Zwave frequency, schlage door lock and of course sensors/siren from honeywell. the control panel link to my android box app. I control the android box using teamviewer. All DIY, no ploblemo » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « to disarm/unlock I can either use the keyfob, the Honeywell apps (within home wifi range) or controlled via teamviewer to my android box (away from my home). other method, I need to keyin the schlage lock password and have a 45 seconds to disarm the alarm at the honeywell panel with password. Yes for the ease of use and user friendly I find it vera or the samsung smarthome easier to use. But if you love the control panel/hub with a display and the flexibility to custom, I could say the Honeywell is the best. The back panel has an additional input/ouput trigger I/O connection for further custom circuit. It has a built in battery backup and RJ11 phone socket to make a phone call to the programmed number on any alarm/triggered event. The lastest model Tuxedo has a built server, easier to remote monitoring with some DDNS This post has been edited by eddyann: Apr 6 2016, 01:41 PM |

QUOTE(ozak @ Apr 8 2016, 09:02 AM) How the autogate can automatically open once your car is arriving home ? Smartthing has android and IOS app, this app acts as presence sensor, when you car is entering your house using geo fence, it will trigger the z-wave relay to open autogate.It can sense your car coming far away? My geo fence is about 200 meters radius from my house, so the autogate will open when my car is entering 200 meters radius. the presence not only can trigger autogate, it also turn on lights, disable alarm, even unlock your door (but I don't have z-wave lock, I scare it is not reliable and also afraid smartthing is hacked) |
