The minimum allowed wakeup time is 240s but it’s strongly recommended to define a much longer interval
since the only purpose of a wakeup should be the reporting of the battery status or an update of the child
protection settings. The device has a periodic wakeup function however this function is disabled by the
configuration parameter #25. This will protect the battery in case the controller is accidently configuring a
wakeup interval. A wakeup of the fob outside the range of the controller will lead to lots of unsuccessful
communication attempts draining the battery. Defining Node id of 0 as a destination of the Wake up
Notification will disable the periodical wakeup function as well.
It is possible to set the node ID to 255 to send wakeup notifications as broadcast. In this mode device takes more time to
go to sleep and drains battery faster, but can notify all it's direct neighbors about a wakeup.
Node Information Frame
NI
The Node Information Frame 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.
Pressing Button 2 in management mode will issue a Node Information Frame.

Associations
A
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling
another device is called
association
. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to
maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called
association groups
and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event
happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a common wireless command.
