Time to consider that RA2 system again...
IVB said:btw, i can't get a 2nd VRCOP; the light switches themselves can only be part of one network, so a 2nd VRCOP isn't going to help much.
pete_c said:Here made the VRCOP a secondary to a Z-WavedotMe GPIO card. I did have to put the two in close proximity. Same as the Leviton RF+ remove. Also here was able to copy the Z-Wave GPIO plus Z-Wave network to the Leviton RF+ remote then put that network in to the VRCOP.
The Z-Wave dot me GPIO card see's the VRCOP as a secondary. The VRCOP though acts as a primary to the OP2 panel.
When I send a command out via the OP2, the light switch goes on or off just fine. The Z-Wave GPIO card doesn't see anything though status wise.
If I do the same via the Z-Wave GPIO card the OP2 / VRCop doesn't see anything. Both devices are talking to one Z-Wave network.
Thinking like for like may work for you if it is one Z-Wave network. Never tested two VRCOP's before.
None the less this stuff works better for me with the UPB PIMs and the same network and software and firmware multiple controllers.
Did you ever check the inside of that tie that was on your old picture. You will not damage it if you are careful. I understand it's been a couple of years now.
pete_c said:@IVB; you can do dual Z-Wave controllers with Homeseer talking to two autonomous network and use a singular triggers / events to the two networks. Here have a Zigbe ZIM and Z-Wave VRCOP plugged in to the OP2 panel.
Just a few minutes ago here a weather alert sounded over the zoned audio. Basically taking a weather radio analog ouput going to the OP2 panel which triggers another analog output going to the Homeseer server which does a NOAA alert screen scrape which then is read by Homeseer using MS SAPI speech. The event utilizes a combo of different sensors all talking just fine to each other brought together by both the panel and software. (well and a touchscreen pop up if I want).
