Tip:
Two SPST relays can optionally be linked to simulate
a single SPDT relay. However, unlike a true SPDT relay,
both relays will open during a power failure.

Add generic contact drivers (such as
Door Contact Sensor
,
Gate
, and
Motion Sensor
) and relay drivers (such as
Blinds
,
Door Lock
, and
Pump
) in
System Design
view, then connect
the generic driver to the appropriate connection on the C4-
Z2IO device in
Connections
view.

For programming, use these events:
•
Online:
Triggers when the device comes online.
•
Offline:
Triggers when the device goes offline.
•
Reboot:
Triggers when the device reboots.
Properties
General properties
•
Log Level:
Standard for most drivers, this property
allows you to filter which message types display in the
Lua Output
window. Options 0 - 5 correspond to Fatal
through Trace levels, increasing in level of verbosity.
Options are 0=Fatal, 1=Error, 2=Warning, 3=Info, 4=Debug,
and 5=Trace. Default is
1 - Error
.
•
Log Mode:
Activates logging of diagnostic information.
The log level is set in the above property. Options include
Off
,
(to the window),
Log
(to the Director Log), and
Print and Log
(both). Default is
Off
.
•
Driver Version:
(Read only) Shows the version number of
the driver currently in use.
•
Device Status:
(Read only) Shows the current status of
the product, whether online or offline. However, in some
cases, the device may not report its status immediately,
such as when the device is rebooting.
•
Firmware Version:
(Read only) Shows the version
number of the firmware currently in use on the device.
The firmware will be updated automatically over the air
when the Control4 OS is updated and when that update
includes a new firmware version for this device.
•
Bootloader Version:
(Read only) Shows the version
number of the firmware currently in use on the device.
The bootloader can only be updated by Control4, so this
property is for support/diagnostic information only.
•
LED Mode:
Determines the behavior of the LED light on
the top/front of the product. Options include Off, ZigBee
(which shows the ZigBee status; see “Identification and
Button Presses” below), and IR (which shows activity
when IR signals are sent to the IR ports). Default is Off.
When the property is set to Off, button presses should still
temporarily prompt the LED to show the status.
Humidity prperties
•
Local Humidity:
(Read only) Shows the relative humidity
measured where the device is located. The value is shown
as a percentage.
•
Local Humidity Offset:
The humidity sensor provides
accuracy of +/- 4% relative humidity. Adjusting the
Local Humidity Offset
can result in increased inaccuracy
of relative humidity reporting without using humidity
calibration equipment for validation.
Temperature and humidity properties
•
Temperature Scale:
Sets which scale is used to
calculate the temperature used in the
Local
and
Remote
Temperature
properties described below, and affects only
the
Properties
tab’s settings. Options include
Fahrenheit
and
Celsius
. Default is
Fahrenheit
.
•
Local Temperature:
(Read only) Shows the most recent
reported temperature recorded by the internal thermistor.
The scale of the temperature is determined by the
Temperature Scale
property.
•
Local Temperature Offset
—Modifies the reported local
temperature to account for environmental variances. The
temperature can be changed downward or upward by a
maximum of 20 degrees. The default is
0
(no correction).
•
Remote Temperature:
(Read only) Shows the most recent
reported temperature recorded by the remote thermistor.
The scale of the temperature is determined by the
Temperature Scale
property.
•
Remote Temperature Offset
—Modifies the reported
remote temperature (the temperature recorded by
an external thermistor) to account for environmental
variances. (When multiple temperature sensors are
located in the same room, you may notice each sensor
shows a slightly different reading. This results from normal
manufacturing variances in temperature sensors and the
device’s position/location in the room.) The temperature
can be changed downward or upward by a maximum of
20 degrees. The default is
0
(no correction).
IO properties

IO Options:
Tells the device how its eight configuration
pins are assigned. The selected option is retained even
after a system reboot or update.

R# = Relay, C# = Contact, Cm = Common ground (-), T = Thermistor,
SPST = Single pole single throw, SPDT = Single pole double throw,
DPST = Double pole single throw
•
Option 1: R1, R2 (both SPST [single pole single throw]):
(Default) Both relays are single pole single throw,
meaning they are independent of each other; or, in
other words, each relay controls only one circuit.
•
Option 2: C1, C2, C3, C4:
Four contacts.
•
Option 3: R1 (SPST), C1, C2:
One relay (single pole
single throw) and two contacts.
•
Option 4: R1 (SPDT [single pole double throw]):
The
two relays operate together to simulate a single SPDT
(single pole double throw) relay. However, unlike a true
SPDT relay, both relays will open during a power failure.
•
Option 5: R1 (DPST [double pole single throw]):
The
two relays operate together to simulate a single DPST
(double pole single throw configuration) relay.
Notes:
• The ZigBee extender, IR emitter control, internal
contact, internal thermistor, and internal humidistat
remain active regardless of the selected IO
configuration.
• The selected IO option will change the available
connections, so existing connections will be
disconnected or deleted.
• The selected IO option determines the available fields
in
Contact properties
and
Relay properties
.
