Analog Zone voltage automation

[Kevin Boldt]

Hello,

When I go to create an automation rule around analog zone voltage, the zone does not show up in ‘When’.  What am I missing?  I can see the voltage of 2V in ‘Status’, but would like to alert on different ‘levels’ of a water cistern…which is received in the ELK as voltage between 0-10v.  I am on the latest version of firmware 5.3.35

Would even love to bring that into HA through the ELK integration, but that part is currently showing 0v.

Thanks

In order to write rules related to Analog Voltage reading the Whenever is a Time Occurrence with an AND Statement to check the voltage level

Whenever Every 30 Seconds

AND Analog Zn (Zn xxx) Is Greater Than Analog Value of x.x Volts

Then ….

—-However—- in order to use the zone to truly monitor an Analog Voltage you would need to remove the onboard 2KΩ Pull Up Resistor. Modification to the board does void the Warranty. I would suggest you use a zone on the M1XIN for this application.

Perhaps instead of using an Analog sensor use leak detectors mounted at different levels within the cistern and create your rules based upon the zone becoming Not Secure?
