What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by
reconfirming every message (
two-way
communication
) and every mains powered
node can act as a repeater for other nodes
(
meshed network
) in case the receiver is not
in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave
device can be
used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand
and origin
as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports
secure communication
it will communicate with other devices secure as
long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will
automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.
Product Description
Motion sensor(PIR) is a passive infrared detector or physical sensor. This sensor doesn’t emit
any energy but only passively receive and detect infrared radiation from outside. Under room
temperature, all items have radiation. Human beings are warm-blooded animals with stable
infrared radiation, so are most easily to be detected. That’s why we also call it body sensor.
PIR send messages via Z-Wave network to Z-Wave gateway. In the Z-Wave
network communications, PIR can be connected to any Z-Wave gateway. Different countries
or areas, the radio frequency is different. In the communication between PIR and Z-
Wave gatwway, PIR can only send messages, not be able to receive messages. When PIR is
triggered, PIR will send message to Z-Wave gateway, and associate devices to work through
ZWave gateway. PIR is battery powered, is small and can be installed easily.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it
must be in factory default state.
Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an
Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to
perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the
previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
