Z-Wave Home Automation Hub (future
release)
If the xGenConnect has been purchased with Z-Wave capabilities, the
xGenConnect system is a security enabled Z-Wave controller supporting
selected Z-Wave compliant devices including light switches, dimmers,
thermostats, and secure/encrypted door locks.
A secure Z-Wave controller is required to fully utilize the product. xGenConnect
can act as a secure Z-Wave controller.
Z-Wave compliant devices regardless of manufacturer can be used in the same
network and always-on devices can function as repeaters to extend the range of
Z-Wave devices.
Door locks which support secure encryption can be used, unencrypted locks
cannot be added to xGenConnect.
xGenConnect may natively support setting and retrieving on/off states, setting
and retrieving dimming levels, and locking/unlocking.

first remove it before adding it to this system. To do this, click Remove, then
activate LINK or REMOVE mode on the device.
