Thatās a LoRa device using a proprietary frequency that needs its own hub, you canāt ābring it into a z wave environment.ā
There might be some awkward and clunky ways to bring it into a smartthings account, but I think it would be more sense to just look for one that has smoother integration. Or wait until thereās one available that supports Matter.
There are multiple Z wave devices that can do this, though, mostly by connecting to a probe sensor very much like the one you see in the picture of the yolink device. So the radio part is using zwave, but the sensor is just a standard ds18b20 probe.
Or, if you need Wi-Fi in order to get the longer range, the Shelley devices can also accept a probe and have a smartthings integration.
Thereās a community FAQ on devices that can accept these probes, why donāt you take a look at that?
Thanks JD. I was hoping this would catch your attention. Iāll take a look at that FAQ. I donāt want WIFI, and range is not a concern. Just a simple temp probe that will connect to a Z-Wave device.
YoLink uses a technology called LoRa for transmission, is not WiFi, so you need to buy their LoRa Hub in order to make it work, in another hand I am not sure if YoLink devices are compatible with Smartthinngs.
I stumbled across Qubino today. Some are saying in other Forums that the Qubino needs a custom DTH in order to report temperature. Since that wonāt work, I was also wondering about a driver. The Qubino and the probe are 90.00, so Iād prefer it works! LOL.
It is advertised as working with Smartthings and i see the fingerprints in the Smartthings edge driver list. It shows a temperature capability for the flush 1 and flush 1d device.
The one I was looking at is 12 v DC. Which is great for the pool area. Is there a difference between EU products and USA? I seem to recall JD mentioning something like that a couple years ago. Reason I ask is it looks like the link Francois added is for a EU device. Not sureā¦
The US uses a different Z-wave frequency from EU. If you are in the US you must buy from there. I looked at the manual again and it shows 24v. Here is the Qubino 1D with dry contact outputs on Amazon that also indicates 24v

Your other option is the Fibaro Smart implant. You can add normal DS18B20 probes to it. They are cheaper and can have longer runs of up to 20 or 30 meters. It can be powered with anything between 9v and 30v.
Yes, the Fibaro implant is one of the devices listed at the link in post #2 above.
I will add the Qubino to that thread as soon as a community member can confirm that the edge driver actually exposes the temperature. Weāve had issues in the past with edge drivers not working exactly the way they were supposed to, so for threads like that I like to have everything confirmed as working before itās posted.
