STEP #4
– Adding a Z-Wave Controller
In order to control Z-Wave devices, such as light switches, thermostats, door locks and sensors, they must be included
into a Z-Wave “network”. Follow the steps below to add your Z-Wave controller and create a Z-Wave network. For a more
visual walkthrough,
click here
(http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=162907).
a)
Go to the Plug-ins drop down menu and
hover over Z-Wave. Select Controller
Management.
b)
Click the Add Interface button to begin the
management process.
c)
You will now be prompted to add an
interface name, interface type, and the
COM port of the interface. A good naming scheme is either the name of the interface you are using or the
location of your Z-Wave controller (if you have multiple). The interface type corresponds to the type of Z-Wave
controller you are using. If you have using an IP2SL/WF2SL, select the Ethernet option.
d)
Go ahead and click
Add
and let HomeSeer initialize the unit. Once initialized, you will be brought to a new
screen.
e)
You must now enable the controller. Click the red circle with a line through it (“No symbol”) to enable it. You will
see a green checkmark if the interface enabled correctly.
f)
To add another Z-Wave interface simply follow these instructions again.
STEP #5
- Z-Wave Network Setup
In order to control Z-Wave devices, such as light switches, thermostats, door locks and sensors, they must be included
into a Z-Wave “network”. Follow the steps below to create your Z-Wave network and to include devices.
Note: the steps
below assume you’ve already physically installed Z-Wave devices in your home.
Including Externally Powered Devices (wall switches, receptacles, plug-in modules, etc)
a)
Take your Z-Stick and put it into “inclusion mode” by pressing and releasing the large round button on one side.
A blue LED light around the button will begin blinking slowly.
