Questions about using the Aeontec Panic Button
Need Answer
Hello!
I want to use this portable button to turn on the parking-lot-lights from inside the car when I come home at night. The parking-lot is maybe 12m away from an active z-wave node inside my house.
- Can I use the button to simply trigger a rule (turn light on, wait 15 minutes, turn light off)? I only read about groups/sync it to other z-wave devices and act as a remote for your controller to include/exclude other devices and complicated stuff like that.
- How long does the battery last? Some people on Amazon say its empty after 3 weeks.
- Is it a problem if you carry this device around? Usually z-wave devices have fixed neighbour nodes to talk to.
Kind regards,
Jan

Yes the Zipato keyfob is superior in many ways. But understand Jan's point.
Yes the Panic remote can be used for this.Obviously you have it included already into the Zipato system. If not heres how.
Reset remote by pressing both include and learn buttons down together for 15 seconds. Light should stay green for 3 seconds at the end.
Put your controller into learn mode, skip the exclusion and do force join. Then tap the learn button on the remote. Not the include as it says in manual.
After this go to the device manager tab find the remote, and click settings icon. Then configuration tab, change the mode to group. save sync.
Now you can use the remote in the rules. It has 2 options, press and long press, so you can define 2 different actions if needed.

Hi I would recommend the Zipato keyfob. It has a lot more buttons and possibilities of programming. It can be easily integrated into the gateway and programmed and/or used as alarm fob.
The battery lasts approx. 2 month, however it has USB charging so no need to buy batteries at all...
