Which Z-wave key fob/remote control will work with Zipabox?

I want to buy a remote or key fob that I can use to trigger any rule in the Zipabox. I was looking at a few models and wondered if anyone's tested them. Which ones will work with Zipabox and do what I want?

I like the idea of wired wall switches to do this, but those that have more than 2 switches seem all to be US devices working on the US frequency, not sold in Europe.

To be clear, all I need to be able to do is create a rule which says:


if (button1 pressed)

do xyz


So I just need Zipabox to be compatible with the device and give me a way to react to each individual button being pressed.


I don't need the device to be a controller (to control other devices directly).

I agree with Milan, I have one at home an it is an excellent device. USB charge, built in battery...and nice looking with up to 16 programmable buttons...good enough.

Thanks guys! So even though it talks about "lighting groups", you could actually use any button to trigger any rule you wanted?

The Nod On Octan works well. It can be mounted on the wall by magnet and it is also portable.

Why doesn't Zipato create a real (fully) compatible list so that we can actually look things up?

SmartThings has it, Vera has it. Doesn't Zipato want to compete with them?

Hello Jack,

of course that we've got such a list, please find it attached below.

Best regards,

Stefan

But is this list reflecting reality? I have an iTach WF2IR:

It shows on your list:

886be9dd9e03ce422cb7a117a15b319f

It also shows when I want to add a new device:

99311509c8dafbe8ba5e37781be42938

But when I open a ticket because the device is added, but shows strange behaviour, I am told that this device is not officially supported?

[quote]Dear Rene,

We don't have full support for this device and because we didn't receive much requests for supporting this device I cannot tell you will we ever support it.

You can always open voting thread on our community and if multiple users vote for this device support we might support it.[/quote]
