tcwalker5 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Has anyone come across a zigbee plunger sensor recently? I found an ION plunger for DSC alarms (and others), but I do not have the wireless version of the alarm. If not zigbee, is there a zwave one or something else that would work with C4? I want to install this inside of the cavity of a deadbolt to sense whether or not it is locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatheed Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Regular plunger sensor wired to a Z2IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcwalker5 Posted January 8, 2019 Author Share Posted January 8, 2019 That is too big for the deadbolt cavity. I was hoping for something like this, but in zigbee or zwave https://www.homesecuritystore.com/ion-security-plunger-d?___store=hss_en&refSrc=505&nosto=nosto-page-product3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Would be easier to just get a controlled lock... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run the wire up the wall to the Z2IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcwalker5 Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Yes, easier from a tech perspective, but does not work with our aesthetics. Does anyone know the range of the DSC wireless transceiver? If no native zigbee option exists I may consider adding the wireless to my DSC alarm.

Run the wire up the wall to the Z2IO. are you suggesting that the z2io be placed behind the drywall, or exposed somewhere? My design goal is to have zero visibility or wires.

thegreatheed Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 You'd have to have it somewhere somewhat accessible to replace batteries or otherwise service it, so put in a closet nearby or in a large wallbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, that's what I thought. For my purposes, that isn't an option. I wish our installer would have suggested something like this during construction when it would have been trivial.
