Connecting Z-Wave device drivers to motorization, 

sensor or light drivers 

To connect a Z-Wave device driver to a motorization, sensor or light driver: 

1

 

In Connections under the Control/AV tab, select the Z-Wave device driver. 

The 

Control & Audio Video Connections

 window will show the available 

connections. 

 

2

 

Click on the Control Output connection Door/Window Sensor and the 

available devices to connect appear below in the 

CONTACT_SENSOR Input 

Devices

 window. 

 

3

 

Click and drag the contact sensor output in the upper window to the 

contact sensor input in the lower window. When a valid connection is 

available, the cursor changes and has a + symbol. Release the mouse 

button to make the connection. 

 

When the Z-Wave devices are connected to the appropriate motorization, 

sensor or light drivers, the UI will now show appropriate drivers to represent the 

Z-Wave devices. Now the Z-Wave device drivers must be connected to the  

Z-Wave controller and identified in the project. 

Available Devices 

When the device is identified and added to the Z-Wave network, the Available 

Devices window will show the device online with a green icon. A Z-Wave device 

that is added to the Z-Wave network and also identified to a device driver will 

show the device driver name and location next to the Node ID.
