Additional features

Lock mode

The KeyFob can be protected with a sequence of 2 to 5 button clicks.
When unlocking sequence is set, the device will lock itself after:

  • being inactive for time set in parameter 2 (60 seconds by default),
  • pressing and holding selected button (if set in parameter 2).

To enable Lock Mode:

  • set sequence in parameter 1,
  • set time and/or locking button in parameter 2 (60 seconds by default),
  • set PROTECTION Command Class to Local Protection by Sequence (done automatically by Home Center controller).

Lock Mode will be disabled when:

  • parameter 1 and/or parameter 2 is set to 0,
  • PROTECTION Command Class is set to Unprotected.

When device is locked:

  • pushing buttons will not activate any actions,
  • menu is available, but without option of resetting the device.

Setting the unlocking sequence and locking time-out using Home Center configuration interface:

  1. Go to the device options by clicking the wrench icon.
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
  3. Click the “Configure” button in “Lock Mode” section.
  4. Select sequence of 2 to 5 buttons, click “Next”.
  5. Select time to lock and locking button, click “Next”.
  6. Click circle and plus simultaneously to wake up the device.
  7. Wait for the device to configure.

Sequences

User can create sequences of two to five button to expand number of possible actions. Every sequence sends corresponding Scene ID to the Z-Wave controller with attribute “Key pressed 1 time” (see “Scene activation” on page 11).

Sequences are saved in advanced parameters (no. 3-8).

Activating sequence introduces delay in single, double and tripple click actions for first button in the sequence.

Rules of creating sequences:

  1. Maximum of six sequences can be created.
  2. Each sequence must be unique.
  3. Sequence can consist of two to five button pushes.
  4. Sequence can contain multiple clicks of the same button.

Setting a new sequence using Home Center configuration interface:

  1. Go to the device options by clicking the wrench icon.
  2. Clicking “Add a new sequence”.
  3. Select sequence of 2 to 5 buttons.
  4. Select reaction to sequence.
  5. Save configuration.
  6. Click circle and plus simultaneously to wake up the device.
  7. Wait for the device to configure.

Setting a new sequence using advanced parameter:  

Value of parameter = Value of first button + 8 * Value of second button + 64 * Value of third button + 512 * Value of fourth button + 4096 * Value of fifth button

Button square circle cross triangle minus plus
Value 1 2 3 4 5 6
  1. Calculate value of parameter using table and formula above.
  2. Change the value of corresponding parameter [2 bytes] (parameters 3 to 8 for slots 1 to 6).
  3. Click circle and plus simultaneously to wake up the device.
  4. Wait for the device to configure.

You can also use this calculator to calculate value of the parameter

Scene activation

The KeyFob can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action.

By default scenes are activated after single clicking or pressing and holding any of the buttons and sequences. Other actions can be activated in parameters 21-26.

Activating a double click will introduce delay to a single click reaction and activating a triple click will introduce delay to a double click reaction.

Scene IDs of buttons:  

Button square key fob activation key fob x key key fob triangle key key fob minus key key fob plus key
Scene ID 1 2 3 4 5 6


Scene IDs of sequences:  

Sequence number  1 2 3 4 5 6

Configuration

Associations

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Wall Plug, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in the direct range.

States of the association groups are affected only by buttons. Changing state of associated device by other means will not update remembered state of association group.

2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 association groups use BASIC CC, but device does not repond to GET commands.

The KeyFob provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “Square – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the square button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
3rd association group – “Square – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the square button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
4th association group – “Circle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the circle button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
5th association group – “Circle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the circle button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
6th association group – “Cross – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the cross button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
7th association group – “Cross – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the cross button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
8th association group – “Triangle – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the triangle button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
9th association group – “Triangle – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the triangle button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
10th association group – “Minus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the minus button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
11th association group – “Minus – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the minus button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.
12th association group – “Plus – On/Off” is assigned to clicking the plus button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
13th association group – “Plus – Multilevel” is assigned to clicking and holding the plus button and is used to turn on/off and change level of associated devices.

The KeyFob in 2nd to 13th group allows to control 5 devices (regular or multichannel) per an association group.
“LifeLine” group is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.

It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

To add an association (using the Home Center controller):

  1. Go to the device options by clicking the wrench icon.
  2. Select the „Advanced” tab.
  3. Click the “Setting Association” button.
  4. Specify to which group and what devices are to be associated.
  5. Save the changes.
  6. Click circle and plus simultaneously to wake up the device.

Paired buttons associations

After pairing buttons, horizontal pairs of buttons (square and circle, cross and triangle, minus and plus) work as one button and send associations to left buttons groups only.

Left buttons (square, cross, minus) turn on associated devices and right buttons (circle, triangle, plus) turn them off.

In multilevel association groups (3, 7, 11) left buttons increase level while holding and right buttons decrease it.

To pair buttons:

  1. Change settings of parameters:
    • square and circle – set parameter 6 to value 1
    • cross and triangle – set parameter 7 to value 1
    • minus and plus – set parameter 8 to value 1
  2. Save the changes.
  3. Click circle and plus simultaneously to wake up the device.
