Integration of Aico smoke alarm with smart home?


JohnKinnear

Hi please can anyone help with this?  My Aico smokes have an interconnect which sends 8-12v dc signal when activated.  I want to feed this into my Loxone miniserver as a discrete tinput to do things like turn on lights and open external blinds.  The server has 0-24v discrete inputs but 7-10v is undefined and I think the reference voltage is the miniserver 0v which is probably different from the mains neutral (not being an electronics expert, I'm guessing).  So I think what I need is a DIN rail relay which will take the smoke signal and convert to a suitable digital input for the server (switching the same 24v used for the server itself).  Does this sound OK and can you recomend a relay?
