to follow your manufacturer’s instructions to put the device into inclusion mode. Once the device
is added you will hear a confirmation beep from your smart home hub and you will be brought to
a screen to name the device and to choose an icon.
Some Z-Wave devices may support secure adding also known as ‘S2.’ S2 devices encrypt their
communication with the smart home hub for added security. These devices can be added using
the process described above, but once the device has been discovered, you will be prompted to
enter a PIN code provided on the device label to complete the process. After the device has been
successfully added, it will operate like any other Z-Wave device. If secure add fails, the device
may still add, but in an unsecured mode, and you may be prompted to delete and reinstall the
device to ensure it is properly secured.
Note: Not all Z-Wave device types may be supported by the system. If you choose to add a device
that is unsupported, it will come into the system as unknown and be located in the lights and
appliances cards.
Controlling a device:
Once a Z-Wave device has been added to the Blue Smart Home Hub, it can be controlled using
the home automation cards on the main screen of the iOS, Android, or web applications. All
devices can be issued basic on/off commands, but devices which support other features will have
additional control options on their card.
Lights
Turn the light on and off and change the brightness for dimmable switches.
Locks
Lock and unlock the lock.
Garage doors
Open and close your garage door.
Thermostats

change the heating and cooling mode, and change the fan mode.
Unknown
devices
Any device that is added to the system but is not recognized as a fully
supported device will only have basic on/off control.
Sensors:
The system does not currently support Z-Wave sensors. It is recommended that you use
DECT/ULE sensors that can be purchased in the Blue by ADT store instead.
Association Group information:
This product supports Association Group 1 (Lifeline) with the maximum of 5 nodes. This
product will send CC DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY to the lifeline before performing default
factory reset.
Removing a device:
To remove a device, go to Settings > Devices and choose your device. You can then delete it by
clicking remove and following your manufacturer’s directions to put the device into exclusion
mode. If a device is not on the network, you may fail the remove and then be prompted to
remove the failed device. This will remove the device from the network without it being present.
