Group 4 – "Ambient light" – max 16 nodes
Ambient Light via Group 4 is intended to substitute locally measured LUX values in
target devices – so that the network can have one source of ambient light value.
Frames are sent a maximum of once per 2.5 minutes and a minimum of once per
15 minutes.
When device already uses remote Ambient light value, then this value is also
retransmitted to group 4.
All devices in such a group should have the same LIGHT ( threshold ) settings in
order that night mode is detected at the same time.
If multichannel association is created the events are send from light sensor
endpoint.
Group 5 – "Button on/off " – max 16 nodes
Group 5 is used for directly controlling Z-Wave devices via BASIC SET commands
by button. This function is allowed by default in cfg 17 ( BUTTON_BEHAVIOUR ).
If multichannel association is created the events are sent from toggle button
endpoint.
Group 6 – "Button scene" – max 16 nodes
Group 6 is used for scene activation – switches from scene 1 to scene specified in
cfg 18 ( BUTTON_SCENES ) – increased by 1 – this function must be allowed in cfg
17 ( BUTTON_BEHAVIOUR ). If multichannel association is created the events are
sent from toggle button endpoint.
Group 7 – "Button dim" – max 16 nodes
Group 7 is used for dimming ( use just for multilevel lamps ). This function is allowed
by default in cfg 17 ( BUTTON_BEHAVIOUR ).
If multichannel association is created the events are sent from toggle button
endpoint.
1 = MOTION SENSOR
The lifeline messages are sent via Root lifeline if not used multichannel association.
Group 2 – its mirror of group 2 of root
Group 3 – its mirror of group 3 of root
2 = AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR
The lifeline messages are sent via Root lifeline if not used multichannel association.
Group 2 – its mirror of group 4 of root
3 = LED
The lifeline messages are sent via Root lifeline if not used multichannel association.
4 = MOTION SENSOR
The lifeline messages are sent via Root lifeline if not used multichannel association.
Group 2 – its mirror of group 5 of root
Group 3 – its mirror of group 6 of root
Group 4 – its mirror of group 7 of root
Motion Begin and Motion End events are sent along with frames to group 3. If mul-
tichannel association is created the events are sent from motion sensor endpoint.
Switch Report is sent immediately upon a change of status along with frames
to group 2. If multichannel association is created the events are sent from LED
endpoint.
All notifications to lifeline are sent as sensor states regardless of sensor settings
and states as SLAVE_MODE, LOCAL_DISABLED and MOTION_ENABLE.
Multilevel Sensor Report is sent a maximum of once per 1 minute ( if the value has
changed by at least 3% ) and a minimum of once per 15 minutes ( if the value has
not changed ). If the ambient light value is old ( cannot be measured because of
permanent light ), the value is not transmitted via lifeline. Multilevel Sensor Report
can also be added to some other events to send in bulk. If multichannel association
is created the events are sent from light sensor endpoint.
Central scene notification is send as reaction to user interaction. If multichannel
association is created the events are send from toogle button endpoint.
Group 2 – "On/Off control" – max 16 nodes
Group 2 is used for directly controlling Z-Wave devices via BASIC SET commands
through the evaluation of movement and light, as with internal use ( so that all of
these devices work together ). This is intended for use especially with third-party
devices that do not implement reactions for motion events. BASIC_SET and
similar Z-Wave commands are not retransmitted intentionally to slaves and must
be sent to slave devices via the controlling device simultaneously. Only for use in
master-slave system, multi-device control is not possible.
Group 2 is evaluated and frames are transmitted there also in SLAVE_MODE, re-
gardless of LOCAL_DISABLED state and when MOTION_ENABLE is off ( not using
internal motion sensor, just reacting to remote motion events in this case ).
If multichannel association is created the events are send from motion sensor
endpoint.
Group 3 – "Notification Report" – max 16 nodes
Group 3 sends MOTION_BEGIN and MOTION_END frames.
MOTION_BEGIN frame = Notification 0x07 ( Home security ) –
Motion detection without location ( 0x08 )
MOTION_END frame = Notification 0x07 ( Home security ) –
Event inactive ( 0x00, parameter 0x08 )
After the first motion detection, MOTION_BEGIN is sent. If continual movement is
detected, MOTION_BEGIN is sent every 1 minute repeatedly. When motion ends,
MOTION_END is sent 5 seconds after the last motion detection.
Notification to group 3 is sent only when NIGHT_MODE = ON and MOTION_
ENABLE = ON, regardless of LOCAL_DISABLE state.
All devices in a group should have the same TIME settings in order that they switch
off at the same time.
If multichannel association is created the events are send from motion sensor
endpoint.
