Key Ring Controller KFOB2
Quick Start
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
The device operates in normal control mode or in management mode.
Pushing all four buttons
for 5 sec. will turn the device into management mode
(indicated by blinking green LED). The
management mode will time out after 10 seconds if no further button is pushed.
Button 3
confirms standard inclusion or exclusion
started by a primary controller, button 2 issues a
Node Information Frame or wakeup notification, button 4 is used to add devices into association
groups and
button 1 confirms inclusion or exclusion in NWI (network wide inclusion) mode.
What is Z-Wave?
This
device
is
equipped
with
wireless
communication complying with 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 (EU) or 908 MHz (US)
to realize a very stable
and secure communication between devices of
different origin, type and brand. 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)
trans-
mitting 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.
Product description
The Z-Wave.Me Key Fob is a Z-Wave device that
can both
control other Z-Wave devices
and
activate predefined scenes in an IP gateway
.
Although it is controlling other devices, the KFOB
can’t act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or
secondary) and will always need a Z-Wave network
