Secondary Controller:
The Z-Wave network supports multiple controllers so the residents can use
additional Z-Wave remotes throughout the home. A secondary controller can not be used to add or delete
devices.
Slave:
Devices within the Z-Wave network are either controllers or slaves. Most AC powered slaves also
function as repeaters in the network, and when required, relay the command signals to the destination
device. Battery powered devices like motion detectors are typically asleep and do not function as
repeaters.
Home Control Network:
Your controllers and every Z-Wave device you have added with the primary
controller are linked together into a wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique address
assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.
Light/Node/Device:
Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-Wave device in your home control
network. Please note that the terms “Node”, “Device” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled
device and are interchangeable within the context of these instructions.
Group:
Groups can also be thought of as an area or zone. Multiple Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or
OFF with a single command when they are placed into a Group. One example would be grouping your
porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights together so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a
strange sound in the middle of the night.
Scene:
Scenes are normally activity based lighting schemes. A scene lets you establish preset
brightness levels for multiple Z-Wave controlled lights and then control them with one command. This is
ideal for mood or task lighting. Scene 1 could be the family room lights set to dim for watching TV. Scene 2
could have the same lights set to a different brightness level for other activities like reading or entertaining.
Include / Exclude:
Include and exclude are the formal terms used to describe adding, removing or
deleting devices to or from the control network or groups and scenes.
Replicate:
This is the Z-Wave term for copying or transferring the Z-Wave network data to a new controller.
This process is also used to update secondary controllers after changes have been made to the control
network with the primary controller.
BATTERIES
