It's possible to connect one device to two different boxes?


The scenario: i have an outdoor thermometer that want to share with a next-door neighbor


Another scenario: I live in a small condo and I want to share the door open/close sensor for the main entrance.


Thank you

Hello,

sensor association with Zipabox can be made to one box at the time. So, it is not possible to associate one sensor with more then one Zipabox.(Security risk- let say a burglar connect's to one of your sensors and then, trough interface turn him OFF.)

Actually for the second scenario it's very simple.

You just need to create one virtual sensor on second box (box that isn't associated with real sensor). Then create one rule on the first box (with real sensor)

which will send http requests to activate and deactivate virtual sensor.

See attached example.


For the first scenario you will need http requests with parameters or you

can create rule with a lots of "IF" conditions and http requests :)
