I would like to attach some legacy presence/light sensors, which have a 230V output. I would use something different, but that’s apparently not an easy task if you want to integrate with existing plates (in my case Gewiss Chorus line).
The document at velbus.eu/downloads/0/velbus/manuals/short_version/vmb7indiagramen.pdf references a “Contactor” module to be used between the legacy component and the VMB7IN. Is that a generic term, or some Velleman product? Can you point me to a recommended solution to attach 4 independent legacy inputs?
The VMB7IN has potential free inputs, it can’t handle mains voltage as an input.
This is where the contactor comes in: it converts the 230V output of your sensor to a potential-free on/off switch.
One example of a contactor can be found here, but anything that converts your voltage output to a voltage-free switch will do…
