How can I test the status of a relay that is not part of the Zwave network?

Hi, I have installed "fridge door switches" to detect the opening of several windows. When the windows are closed the circuit is also closed and it activates a relay. When one of the windows is open the circuit opens, the relay goes into idle mode and the air conditioning stops (via a built in interface).


Now I would like to be able to test the status of this relay to use it within my zwave network (and apply the same rule to the heating - which is fully zwave compatible). I don't see how I could do that? Is there a low voltage Z-wave relay that I could use instead of the one I have now and that I could include into my network? Or do you guys see any other solution that I could implement?


Thanks.

I may have found the answer myself! This product probably offers the best solution to my problem. Has someone already tried it? Does it work with the Zipato box?
