Fortrezz Water Valve Control

The sensor I have is a HomeSeer HSM200 as that is the only wave sensor that I could find that is a plug in one vs a battery operated sensor as I wanted to put it in the basement and forget it without having to change batteries every few month’s. It is only indicated in st as a switch with on and off capabilities or I can change the color of the light on the sensor which of course does me no good.

Have you searched the community for a device type yet? The HSM200 is not natively supported by ST, so the community has written a device handler for it:

HomeSeer HSM200 (device type Handler in post 9)

Anyone tried using this device? My situation is this…I have a simple z-wave outlet that runs a UV light filter at a vacation home. We don’t leave the UV light on when we’re gone so as to extend the bulb life and save power. The trouble is that the light is down in the crawlspace and is a bit of a pain to verify whether it is on or not. Obviously one can look at their SmartThings app to check the status…but not everyone in the home is connected to the app. Ideally, I’d find some sort of button that also includes a status light where the whole thing could be set up such that the status light is active when the UV is on and the button acts as an additional controller. This HomeSeer product is close, considering that if it works with ST I could set it up to glow green when the UV is on…

You’ll need to create a custom device handler for yourself, and from the little reading I’ve been able to do, it looks like several others have it working well.
