Adding and Removing a Third-party Controller
To expand your WeR@Home™ Z-Wave network you can add third-party Z-Wave controllers
WeR@Home™. For example, a third-party Z-Wave controller can be a repeater whose range can
extend the total range of your WeR@Home
™
network. In your extended WeR@Home
™
network, the
Essence Z-Wave Plus Extender acts as the primary Z-Wave controller while the third party Z-Wave
controllers are secondary.
To add a third-party Z-Wave controller, select
-
Z-Wave Controller
as your device. Refer to 2.2
Adding Your First Z-Wave Device on page 6.
Devices originally connected to the third-party Z-Wave controller must be re-learned on the third-
party Z-Wave controller. Follow the instructions for pairing devices in the third-party Z-Wave
controller documentation. The Z-Wave devices paired with the third-party Z-Wave controller become
accessible to the Essence Z-Wave Plus Extender.
Depending on its capabilities, a third-party Z-Wave controller may have access to and control of all
Z-Wave devices connected to the Essence Z-Wave Plus Extender. For example, you can use a
third-party Z-Wave remote control for the switches and dimmers connected to the Essence Z-Wave
Plus Extender.
To remove a third-party Z-Wave controller, tap
for the third-party controller that you want to
remove. Refer to 5.5 Removing a Z-Wave Device on page 14.
