Operating the device
Once you installed the Multisensor and included it into your Z-Wave network the sensor will begin to send its data to the controller. The
data will be shown in the interface of your controller but you can also use it to control your home. Simply define scenes that use the
transmitted data from the Multisensor as input and control other devices based upon this data. For example you could close the window
blinds when it gets too bright in the room or dim the lights. If you are not at home you can let the controller notify you if the Multisensor
detects a motion inside your home. Or maybe you want to regulate your heating with the Multisensor's build-in temperature sensor.
Node Information Frame
NI
The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical
capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed
for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.
There are 2 ways to send a NIF (Node Information Frame). To send an unsecure NIF press the action button on the back of the Multisensor
once. This is used for all controllers that do not use Z-Wave Plus. If your controller is capable of Z-Wave Plus you can use the secure NIF
by pressing the action button twice during one second.
Associations
A
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called
association
. In
order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These
lists are called
association groups
and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the
event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1
Group 1 (max. nodes in group: 5)
