Important
▪
The nodeID set in the WAKE_UP_INTERVAL_SET command must be for a permanently listening
device which reponds to the commands sent from
living connect
®. This means PC's with USB
sticks will only work if the PC is never turned off. If the controller is turned off for extended peri-
odes,
living connect
® will use the batteries too fast.
▪
To preserve battery - Wake_Up_intervals should not be set to less than 5 min. Increasing the
time between intervals will increase battery life but can reduce user satisfaction due to long re-
action times.
▪
Although
living connect
® supports single commands, multi commands must always be used to
ensure two years battery lifetime.
▪
If multiple thermostats are installed in the same room it is important that the controller ensures
that they all have the same schedule and the same setpoint.
▪
In order to ensure proper routing with battery operated devices, the controller must support
SUC.
living connect® and Z-
Wave repeaters
living connect
® may benefit if more mains powered Z-Wave devices are added to a Z-Wave network.
Mains powered Z-Wave devices improve the reliability of a Z-Wave network as they can act as re-
peaters and thus provide alternate routes for communication.
