3. General function of the EASYPlug
The EASYPlug switches connected devices/lamps by Z-Wave
®
radio commands. These commands are send by the tapHOME EASYGate (required for operation) either independently or through
a user command utilizing the tapHOME App (more information on
www.taphome.eu
).
4. General tapHOME system information
This device is part of the tapHOME home automation system and utilizes a special radio protocol developed for this kind of application called Z-Wave
®
. Z-Wave
®
among other things offers a
manufacturer independent compatibility and following substantial features:
1.
Bidirectional communication:
A command send to the device will be acknowledged and reconfirmed.
2.
Mesh-Networking:
Single Z-Wave
®
devices (like this) also operate as repeater.
A command to a device which is too far away or hard to reach will be passed
on by up to 4
devices. The EASYGate arranges to find the best route to the devices and administrates the according routing table for all devices.
The combination of these features provides a secure, stable and reliable communication between all devices. All system configurations are made in the tapHOME-App which executes all
functions and operations in conjunction with the EASYGate connected to the router / switch / access point. Please refer to the tapHOME-App manual on www.taphome.eu to find out more
