On factory default the device does not belong
to any Z-Wave network Temperature & Humidity
Sensor Z-Wave Plus needs to be added to an
existing wireless network to communicate with
the devices of this network. This process is called
Inclusion.
Temperature & Humidity Sensor Z-Wave Plus can
also be removed from a network. This process
is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated
by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network.
This controller is turned into exclusion respective
inclusion mode. Please consult the manual of your
Z-Wave Controller how to activate Inclusion or
Exclusion mode.
If Temperature & Humidity Sensor Z-Wave Plus
has been added to a network, it has to be re-
moved prior to be added to another wireless
network.
Interoperability
This product can be operated in any Z-Wave
network with other Z-Wave certified devices from
other manufacturers. All non-battery operated
nodes within the network will act as repeaters
regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the
network.
Security
Temperature & Humidity Sensor Z-Wave Plus sup-
ports secure communication. Temperature & Hu-
midity Sensor Z-Wave Plus will communicate with
other devices secure as long as this device pro-
vides the same or a higher level of security. Other-
wise Temperature & Humidity Sensor Z-Wave Plus
will automatically turn into a lower level of security.
A Security Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be
used to fully utilize the Temperature & Humidity
Sensor Z-Wave Plus.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into
deep sleep state most of the time to save battery
life time. Communication with the device is lim-
ited. In order to communicate with the device, a
static controller is needed in the network. This
controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery
operated devices and store commands that can
not be received during deep sleep state. Without
such a controller, communication may become
impossible and / or the battery life time is signifi-
cantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce
the wakeup state by sending out a so called
Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs
to be configured with the desired wakeup interval
and the node ID of the controller. If the device
was included by a static controller this controller
will usually perform all necessary configurations.
Wakeup
The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maxi-
mal battery life time and the desired responses of
the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action: A single click on the network
button will wakeup the device.
The wakeup interval can be configured in 2
minute steps with a minimum wakeup interval of
10 minutes and a maximum wake up interval of 24
hours. The default setting is 60 minutes.
