Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave
device. These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave
network.
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.
To take a device out of a group, scene or association group while
that device still exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly,
Plug and Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as
professional installation scenario where the inclusion process in
terms of time will be reduced significantly. NWI is a feature
supported by a new frame type named Explorer which enables the
Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive Source Routing.
A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and
secondary controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave
network has its own unique ID code so that controllers not in the
network cannot control the system.
The first controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only
the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete devices
from a network. It is recommended that you mark the primary
controller for each network for ease in modifying your network.
A controller containing network information about other devices
within the network and is used for controlling devices. Secondary
controller is created from the Primary Controller and cannot include
or delete devices to the network.
A controller containing network information about other devices
within the network and is used for controlling devices. Inclusion
controller is created from the Primary Controller in a SIS enabled
Z-Wave network. Inclusion Controller has the ability to add and
remove devices from the network.
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured to turn to a specific
level, setting, mode, or perform an operation. Scenes are usually
activated by a controller, timed event, or specific conditions.
Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing
the device to identify the nodes by a group identifier. The groups
can also be copied to other devices.
