I've used an X10 for years, but it is not reliable enough for WAF. Recently I've changed to z-wave and am very happy with it (as well as my wife) . Except X10 has a Universal Module (UM506) where you can switch from continuous to momentary output. Unfortunately, this does not exist in z-wave world (yet).
I was wondering if anyone knows how to modify existing z-wave appliance module to have this momentary relay function.
I was thinking of connecting regular 120V relay to appliance module output and using some simple circuit to work this additional relay mometarily. Or, even better, modify internals of the z-wave appliance module so the internal relay can work momentarily. Either way would be perfect.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks, George
