taking note of each device and determining the best route for each device
for improved Z-Wave network performance. Also known as Z-Wave

use the remove device operation on each device. If this operation is not
completed the device cannot be included into the new network
Primary
Controller
This icon will display the current role of the controller. If the device
displays a “P” it is the primary controller and can add and remove
devices. If the device displays an “S” it is the secondary controller and is
only there to display and control devices. Example, if used in conjunction
with a Tuxedo Touch™ keypad and experiencing network performance
issues, the VAM can be used to extend the network by programming it in
as a secondary controller to the Tuxedo Touch’s network.
Secondary
