I have 3 zones in my house and use some devices across all 3 zones, I have a spare RFX9600 which I figured that I could use relay 1, 2 & 3 for zone 1, 2 & 3 I would send 5v down each relay at the start of controlling each zone and connect them to current sense 1, 2 & 3.
This will allow me to know which zone is in use, how i have 2 issues the first being if i only had 2 zone this solution would be easy, I would simple uses current sensing of zone 1 in zone 2 and vice a versa. The second being I am already using current sensing on some devises.
Currently i use it as follow:
To turn off Foxtel Box: if current sense port 1 is on, send Foxtel power toggle
What i need to do is the following:
To turn off Foxtel box in Zone 1: if current sense port 1(ext1 for device status) is on & Current sense port 2 (ext2 for zone 2)is off & Current sense port 3 (ext2 for zone 3)is off then send Foxtel power toggle. What i though may work is the following:
Power off for zone 1 IF Current sense Port 2 (ext 2) is off & Currents sense port 3 (ext 2) is off
Launch normal off. Else Turn everything related to Zone 1
Once again guy’s thankyou and i am open to any ideas.
