1- can you use the extra channel of the sensor ? is it available in the configuration menu or does it appear as a second device ? it is possible to connect another 'dry contact' on that module, but if it is not handled by Indigo I need to find another solution.
2- what about battery life ? do you really get one year of use ?
Thank you for the help and info !
Hi DomoPat,
I have 6 of them; it is a bit of pain to include them as they are battery operated devices but they are very good in reporting status.
I use them for windows and doors, unfortunately I do not use they input (for example, temperature sensor).
I find the battery very good.
For the entry door which is opened/closed many times per day, now it is a 68% and it's there since February, 6 months round about. But windows which report lessare at 90% and they are there since January
It also depends on how often the status report is set (I have it at 4 hrs).
Hope this helps
Bye,
Marco
