Operating modes:
The devices supports 8 different operating modes - this means the kind of command sent out when pushing a button. Operating modes either directly control other
devices or they issue various scene activation commands to a central controller. Operating modes for direct device control are:
Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands (parameter 11...14 = 1)
. Devices are controlled using Basic Set On/Off commands
and Switch-Multilevel Dim Start/Stop. This mode implements communication pattern
7
.
Direct Control of associated devices with only On/Off commands (parameter 11...14 = 2)
. Devices are controlled using only Basic Set On/Off
commands. On dimming Up event On is sent, on dimming Down Off is sent. This mode also implements communication pattern
7
.
Switch All commands (parameter 11...14 = 3)
In this mode a
all neighboring devices
will receive Switch-All Set On/Off command and interpret it
according to their membership in Switch-All groups. This mode implements communication pattern
7
.
Direct Control of Devices in proximity (parameter 11...14 = 6)
. Basic Set and Switch-Multilevel Dim commands are sent to a device in proximity (50...100
cm) from the Fob. Attention: In case there are more than one Z-Wave devices nearby all these devices may be switched. For this reason the proximity
function should be handled with care. This mode implements communication pattern 7
Door Lock Control (parameter 11...14 = 7)
This mode allows direct control (open/close) of electronic door locks using secure communication. The mode
implements communication pattern
7
.
Operating modes for scene activation are:
Direct Activation of preconfigured scenes (parameter 11...14 = 5)
Associated devices in an association group are controlled by individual commands
defines by Z-Wave command class ?Scene Controller Configuration?. This mode enhances mode
Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim
commands
and implements communication patterns
6
and
7
. Please turn the button mode to "separate" to allow different a scene ID on every button.
Scene Activation in IP Gateway (parameter 11...14 = 4)
If configured correctly the buttons can trigger a scene in a gateway. The scene number triggered
is a combination of the group number and the action performed on the button and has always two digits. The group number defines the upper digit of the
scene number, the action the lower digit. The following actions are possible:
1 = On
2 = Off
3 = Dim Up Start
4 = Dim Down Start
5 = Dim Up Stop
6 = Dim Down Stop
Example: Clicking/double clicking the button will issue scene triggers, scene 11 (button 1 click, event on), scene 12 (button double click 1, event off, single
button control is used in this example)
Activation of Central Scenes (parameter 11...14 = 8,Default)
Z-Wave Plus introduces a new process for scene activation - the central scene control.
Pushing a button and releasing a button send a certain command to the central controller using the lifeline association group. This allows reacting both on
button push and button release. This mode implements communication patterns
6
but requires a central gateway supporting Z-Wave Plus.

Node Information Frame
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The
inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send
out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:
