Dueport Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 These seem to do the same thing? What’s the difference between them Is one better than another? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopedogg88 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Z2IO does more than the older devices...it has 2x IR outputs, can do Contacts, Relays, acts as a zigbee extender, and has an internal temp sensor which can be used to display the temperature in whatever area it is located. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msgreenf Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 and the Z2IO is the only "current" device. Others are no longer for sale new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others are no longer for sale new Thanks guys - wondering if the Z2IO may be more than I need to replace this failed z-wave dry contact for a fireplace - only need that one dry contact for this application. The Z2IO is a great device to have in the lineup though - I can see where you'd use it for many applications..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dueport Posted August 2, 2021 Author Share Posted August 2, 2021 Actually, if I'm reading spec sheets correctly, it appears that the ZCA-WCS10-R-ZP has relays (so controls a load - like closing a dry contact) while the ZCA-WCS10A-2-ZP only contains terminals for external contact sensors (so monitors a circuit and reports but doesn't control). So, if that's correct (please confirm if you can) then I need the ZCA-WCS10-R-ZP (or the Z2IO) for my need to control a fireplace using a dry contact. Alternatively, I've read people run 18/2 from fireplaces to their controller - that's a bit of a ways in this case but may explore...

chopedogg88 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Correct - one is a relay only, one is a contact sensor only. The Z2IO can do a combination of both. Yes you can also run wire to your controller and use the built-in relay(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
