Operating the device
The detector can be used as a security device or home automation device. When the detector is cooperated
with security appliances, the (1) Door/window or (2) PIR sensor act as an alarm detector. Alternatively, when
the detector is worked with Z-Wave controller, the detector can be set to perform the role of home
automation device by detecting both changes in PIR motion detect or door/window open close signal with
percentage of illumination lux levels.
One home automation scenario is, once night falls, the percentage of ambient illumination is lower than
preset value. If a person moves within or across the devices field of vision, a trigger radio signal will be
transmitted so as to turn connected lightings for better illumination.
Another scenario is to combine (1) Door/window (2) PIR (3) illumination sensors to recognize people is
coming in or going out and turn the light on/off automatically.
The temperature sensor can detect the environment temperature so as to adjust heater or cooler to achieve
preset temperature or detect the abnormal environment temperature (like freeze sensor or fire sensor) to
send the warning message.
After powering up the divice needs several minutes to setup and work properly.
The device has a tamper switch, which starts alarm when the device is forcibly removed.
Node Information Frame
NI
The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information
about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed
by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to
send out a Node Information Frame.
Tripple Click the Temper Switch on the backside sends out a Node Information Frame.
Associations
A
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling
another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to
maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups
and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event
happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
