Z-Wave Remote Control
Firmware Version : 1.1
Quick Start
S
This device is a Z-Wave Remote Control with the logical function of a sensor. Push the "Include" button
behind the slider on the back side 3 times includes the device into an existing the Z-Wave network. The device
can not act as primary network controller.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the
international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the frequency of
868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each message is reconfirmed (two-way
communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in
case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote controls (R). This results in a
number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported
by a specific device.
1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to
controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to
trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the network and
including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't
manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not
possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.
