I'm considering getting an S1 but a huge factor for me is being able to connect it to my home automation. The 7 day timer not not work for my needs.
I currently have a Silvia which, via Z-wave wall module, turns on/off based on home automation events... and I can control it from my mobile phone. So if I'm out and about and decide I want a coffee when I get home, I simply logon to my software and turn on the machine. Also as nice, I can turn it off too if it gets locally turned on & I forget to turn it off before I leave the house.
Most of the time the steam boiler will remain off so I'm not concerned about controlling it... just simple on/off power at the wall plug and ensuring the brew boiler turns on/off.
Can the S1 do this?
Using Home Automation to turn on/off ?
Re: Using Home Automation to turn on/off ?
The Vivaldis require you hold the "ON" button for about 3 seconds for it to turn on. So it won't work with z-wave automation.
Still, if you have some basic knowledge in electronics, you should be able to build something that would fit in between the 2 devices to accomplish the task.

Looks like the mods posted there are for V1... and many images are missing since the thread is so old.Endo wrote:The Vivaldis require you hold the "ON" button for about 3 seconds for it to turn on. So it won't work with z-wave automation.

Hoping someone has insight to an easy V2 mod... best if it is simply using the same port the 7-day timer does (so there is no need to pull the unit apart) :)
