Term Description
PIR An Essence Term.
A Motion Detector peripheral device.
RF Radio Frequency.
A rate of oscillation in the range of about 3 KHz to 300 GHz. This range corresponds to the
frequency of radio waves, and the alternating currents which carry radio signals.
RFID Radio-Frequency Identification.
Wireless non-contact system using radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to transfer data
from a tag attached to an object for automatic identification.
Replicate A Z-Wave® Term.
To transfer or copy the setup and configuration information between a handheld Primary
Controller and a Secondary Controller.
RIA Rich Internet Application.
Web application with many characteristics of desktop application software.
Typically delivered by way of a site-specific browser, a browser plug-in, an independent
sandbox, extensive use of JavaScript, or a virtual machine.
Route A Z-Wave® Term.
When two devices cannot communicate due to physical distance or other radio interference,
Z-Wave® automatically repeats or passes the signal from one device to the next utilizing them
as temporary hubs. This way it effectively extends the range of the network by passing the
request from one node to another (can be done up to a maximum of 4 hops). Likewise, if two
devices are not within range of one another, a route can be manually assigned to the source
module (the module sending the information).
This essentially enables devices to communicate at long ranges since the signal is repeated or
“bounced” until it reaches the receiving module.
RSU Remote Software Update
Scene A Z-Wave® Term.
Link or ‘associate’ one or more modules, except that the controller stores not only the
association, but also the dim level for each Module. Dim level is stored while a Module is
added to a scene.
Consequently, when a scene is activated, the Modules will all go to their previously defined
dim levels regardless of what their most recent dim level may have been. Some Modules may
get brighter while others may be pre-programmed by the user to become dimmer.
Due to the fact that appliance and wall switch modules are switching devices without dimming
capability, they will either be defined as default ON or OFF status when added to a scene.
SHA-1 Secure Hash Algorithm.
In cryptography, SHA-1 is a cryptographic hash function designed by the US National Security
Agency and published by the US NIST as a U.S. Federal Information Processing Standard.
SIM Subscriber Identification Module.
An integrated circuit that securely stores the International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI)
and the related key used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile telephony
devices (such as mobile phones and computers).
