Connecting the E-Wand to
a zigbee network
The E-Wand can be paired to the Current Products Corp. bridge or to a third
party Zigbee hub. If you are using a third party bridge, use the manufacturers
instructions for setup, then follow their instructions for adding devices.
To put the E-Wand into Zigbee Pairing Mode, press and release the E-Wand
programming button three times. The E-Wand should start slowly beeping to
confirm it is looking for a network.
About Mesh Networks
Mesh Networks are a web of connected devices that self heal when a unit
becomes disconnected from the network. Zigbee is a communication protocol
that creates a mesh network. Within a Zigbee mesh network, there are “router
nodes” and “end nodes”. “Router nodes” repeat a signal and are usually
hardwired for power. “End nodes” do not repeat a signal and are usually
battery powered. E-Wands are “end nodes” so while they will communicate
with each other, they will not communicate with other non-E-Wand devices.
