Z-Wave network

Adding to Z-Wave network

Adding (Inclusion) – Z-Wave device learning mode, enables you to add the device to the existing Z-Wave network.

iThe device selects the powering mode when added to the Z-Wave network, prioritizing external power supply if connected. To change the mode after adding, you must remove the device from the Z-Wave network, change the installation accordingly, then add the device again.

 

Adding the device to the Z-Wave network  manually

  1. Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security) add mode (for more information, see the controller manual).
  2.  Click quickly three times one of the buttons.
  3.  If you are adding in Security S2 Authenticated mode, input the underlined part of the device security key (DSK) labeled on the box.
  4. LED starts blinking yellow, wait for the adding process to end.
  5. Adding result is confirmed with the Z-Wave controller message and the LED frame:
  • Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated mode)
  • Magenta – successful (Security S2 Authenticated mode)
  • Red – not successful

 

Adding using SmartStart

SmartStart enabled adding products into the Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller that provides  SmartStart inclusion. The SmartStart product is added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on, if it’s in the network range.

 

iTo use the SmartStart procedure your controller needs to support Security S2 mode (for more information, see the controller manual).

To add the device to the Z-Wave network using SmartStart:

  1. Enter the full DSK string code to your controller. If your controller is capable of QR scanning, scan the QR code placed on the label on the box.
  2. Power the device.
  3. Wait for the adding process to start (up to a few minutes), which is signalled with yellow LED blinking.
  4. Adding result is confirmed with the Z-Wave controller message and the LED frame:
  • Green – successful (non-secure, S0, S2 non-authenticated mode),
  • Magenta – successful (Security S2 Authenticated mode),
  • Red – not successful.

Removing from Z-Wave network

Removing (Exclusion) – the Z-Wave device learning mode enables you to remove the device from the existing Z-Wave network. Removing also results in resetting the device to factory defaults.

To remove the device from the Z-Wave network:

  1.  Set the main controller into remove mode (for more information, see the controller manual).
  2.  Click quickly three times, then press and hold one of the buttons for 12 seconds.
  3. Release the button when the device glows green.
  4. Click quickly the button to confirm.

Operating the device

Powering modes

External supply mode

In external supply mode the device indicates commands status and can receive indications, including Identification, from the Z-Wave controller with Indicator CC.
Device configuration is updated immediately.
To enable the external supply mode, make sure that the external supply is connected and powered. Then add the device to the Z-Wave network (remove beforehand if already added).

 

Battery mode

In battery mode the device indicates commands status, but can’t receive indications, except for Identification, from the Z-Wave controller with Indicator CC.
The device needs to be woken up to change its configuration.
The battery level (shown in percentage) is measured during every power-up and  every 24h. The measured value is reported to the controller during every power-up and when the value changes by at least 5%.
To enable the battery mode, make sure that the device is powered only with a battery. Then add the device to the Z-Wave network (remove beforehand if already added).

Temperature sensor

The device is equipped with a built-in temperature sensor. It measures the ambient temperature and reports it to the controller only when it changes by at least 0.1°C, but not more often than every 10 minutes. It is recommended to use battery or 12V DC power supply for reliable temperature measurement.

    • WHITE – wake up the device
    • GREEN – start learning mode (add/remove)
    • MAGENTA – test Z-Wave range
    • CYAN – show battery level
      • Green – 50-100%
      • Yellow – 16-49%
      • Red – 1-15%
    • YELLOW – reset to factory defaults
  5.  Click quickly the button to confirm.

Resetting to factory defaults

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted.

iResetting the device isn’t the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable.

To remove the device properly, follow the removing procedure:

  1. Click quickly, three times, then press and hold one of the buttons for 21 seconds.
  2. Release the button when the device glows yellow.
  3. Quickly click the button to confirm.
  4. After a few seconds the device is restarted, which is signalled with red LED colour.

Configuration

Associations

Association (linking devices) – direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network.

Associations enables:

  • reporting the device status to the Z-Wave controller (using the Lifeline group),
  • creating simple automations by controlling other devices without participation of the main controller (using groups assigned to actions on the device).

The device provides the association of 7 groups:

  • the 1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
  • the 2nd association group –  “On/Off (1)” is used to turn the associated devices on/off.
  • the 3rd association group – “Dimmer (1)” is used to change level of associated devices.
  • the 4th association group –  “On/Off (2)” is used to turn the associated devices on/off.
  • the 5th association group – “Dimmer (2)” is used to change level of associated devices.
  • the 6th association group – “Multidevice” is used to control different type of devices.
  • the 7th association group – “Slats” is used to move slats of venetian blinds.

The device enables you to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of the LifeLine group that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned.
