From the
Z-Wave Management
screen, Aspire RF devices can be added and removed. This
screen also allows for scene management, association set-up and controller transfer. To add a
Z-Wave node, simply click the “Add Device” button and follow the procedure for adding the
specific device to the network.
Creating Devices
The
Add Device
screen is where you create devices in the RFTCP. Once a device has been
added, it can be used in events and controlled by voice. For the Z-Wave system, devices are
automatically added to the RFTCP through the Interfaces tab.
You cannot manually add Z-
Wave devices through this screen
. You can modify some properties of a Z-Wave device
that has already been created. Add Insteon and UPB devices using the
Config
button from the
Interfaces page.
To get to this screen, launch the web interface to get to the
Status
screen (see page 10 for a
screenshot), then click the Add Device button. The appearance of the screen and the fields
available will vary depending on the type of device selected.
Lighting
In the
Add Device
screen (see above), select from the
Device Type
field the type of lighting
device you are creating, such as “Lamp Module”, “PCS Light Switch”, “LM465”, etc. Give the
device a name, such as “Living Room Light”; specify its Super location (Second Floor, Outside,
East Wing, etc.) and then specify its Sub location (Timmy’s Bedroom, Garage, Den, etc.); and
select its House Code and Unit Code from the drop-down menus. Select any other options you
would like to enable for this device by checking the appropriate check box in the
Options
field.
Click the SAVE button to finish creating the device.
The Device Type normally only pertains to X10 type devices and thermostats. Most other
lighting systems will create devices automatically. See the
Climate
section for more
information about thermostat devices. To create devices for other lighting systems, make sure
