Weather Station is used for measuring temperature,
humidity, wind & rain properties and sending the
measurement values to your Z-Wave network.
The Weather Station can measure 10 different values: two
sets of temperature/humidity sensors, wing gauge with 5
sensors (direction, velocity, wind gust, temperature and
wind chill) and a rain sensor. With the use of the included
Weather Station USB KEY all 10 values (end points) are
sent and rendered in your home Z-Wave network.
Qubino Weather Station Key is used for receiving Wireless
data packages (from Thermo/ Hygro Sensor Ch1, Thermo/
Hygro Sensor Ch2, Rain Gauge, Wind Gauge) and sends
it to the Z-Wave Controller.
The Key is designed to be plugged into the USB Power
Adapter. Module receives data for Temperature, Wind
Chill, Velocity, Wind Gust, Wind Direction, Humidity, Rain
Rate and Battery Level for each Sensor.
It is designed to act as repeater in order to improve range
and stability of Z-wave network
.

connected to power supply) or
enable add/remove mode on main controller
hold service button
S
between 1.5 and 4 seconds
NOTE: For auto-inclusion procedure, first set main
controller into inclusion mode and then connect module to
USB power supply.
Module Exclusion/Reset (Removing from
Z-Wave network)
Connect module to power supply
enable add/remove mode on main controller,
hold service button

seconds
By this function, all parameters of the module are set to
default values, own ID is deleted and the module will
include as unsecure next time.
If service button S hold more than 1.5 and less than 4
seconds module is excluded, but configuration parameters
are not set to default values and the module will include
next time as it was set into the Configuration Parameter
250.

Parameter No. 15
– Random ID Enable
Available configuration parameter (data type is 1 Byte

0
– Random ID disabled

– Random ID enabled
If Random ID is disabled, the Weather Station USB Key
can receive data from multiple 433 MHz Sensors on the
same Channel. If the Random ID is enabled, the USB Key
can receive data from only one sensor on the same
channel. If the USB Key does not receive a data from a
sensor on a specific channel for more than 2.5 hours, it
clears the Random ID of the device and waits for a new ID.
If you replace the batteries in the modules, the Random ID
will change. If you want that the USB Key accept a module
immediately, set the Parameter No. 15 to “0” and in the
next step again to “1”.
Parameter No. 250
– Unsecure / Secure Inclusion
Available configuration parameter (data type is 1 Byte
Dec):
default Value 0
0
– Unsecure Inclusion
1
– Secure Inclusion
The Weather Station Key supports both, the secure and
unsecure inclusion. Even if the controller does not support
security command classes, the Key could be included as
unsecure
and
keep
all
the
functionality.
By default, the Key includes as unsecure. To include the
Key as secure follow the procedure:
1.
Include the Key into the controller
2.
Set the parameter 250 to the value “1”
3.
Enable add/remove mode on main controller,
4.
Hold service button S between 1.5 and 4 seconds
to exclude the module
5.
If the exclusion of the module was successful, the
LED on the module starts blinking
6.
Unplug the module out of the power supply
7.
enable add/remove mode on main controller
8.
Plug the module into the power supply to star auto-
inclusion
9.
Now the module should be included as secure
The same procedure is to include the module as unsecure.
Safety Procedure
I
n the case of lost connection between the 433 MHz
Wireless Sensor and the Weather Station USB Key (more
than 15 minutes of lost connection), the module will set
Sensor values to extreme values. (Temperature =
-199.0 °C, Velocity = 88.00 m/s, Rain = 300.00 mm/h,
Humidity = 100 % or Direction = 0.0°), so that the
associations and scenarios are triggered to lower the
chance of potential damage.
If the Weather Station USB Key lose the power supply (or
any other reason reset the Key), the Key will not report
Sensor Values to the controller until new data is received
or maximum 240 seconds. If after 240 seconds, the Key
still does not have new data from the sensor, it will set the
sensor values to extreme values.
On each End point we can get battery level from
corresponding sensor. On the Root device is a battery
level from the sensor with the lowest battery level.
