Z-Wave Secure Wall Controller
Firmware Version : 1.0
Quick Start
S
This device operates as Z-Wave sensor in two modes: the normal control mode (daily use) or in management mode for setup. Pushing all
four buttons for 5 sec. turns the device into management mode (indicated by blinking green LED). The management mode will time out after 10
seconds if no further button is pushed. Place your primary controller in inclusion mode by following the manufacturer's instructions, then activate
inclusion on the device by pressing any one of the four buttons for one second. Inclusion mode is indicated by the red/green blinking of the
LEDs until the timeout occurs after 10 seconds. A short press of any buttons also terminates this mode. Re-Inclusion and Exclusion are
performed by pushing button 1 in management mode. In this mode button 2 issues a Node Information Frame or wakeup notification and button
4 is used to add devices into association groups. The device supports secure communication.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the international standard for wireless
communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each
message is reconfirmed (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case
the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or measured data or actuators (A) capable to
execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote
controls(R). This results in a number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported by a specific
device.
1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is
managing the network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't
manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not possible to operate a
sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.
Product description
The Z-Wave.Me Wall Controller is a Z-Wave device that can both control other Z-Wave devices and activate predefined scenes in an IP gateway.
Although it is controlling other devices, the Wall Controller cannot act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z-
Wave network controller to be included into a Z-Wave network. The device can be used in different modes that are selected by configuration
parameters:
1. Control of groups of other Z-Wave devices using 'ON', 'OFF' and Dim commands.
2. Activation of predefined scenes in Gateways or other Z-Wave devices.
The wall controller must be completed by a mounting frame, the wall switch frame and a rocker. They are not scope of delivery of this device.
This device support secure communication when included by a controller that also supports secure communication. The device will then send all
commands as secure commands unless the receiving device can not accept them. Then the command is send the normal way automatically.
The device will be completed with different designs of wall frame and rockers.

  • Page 1 The Z-Wave.Me Wall Controller is a Z-Wave device that can both control other Z-Wave devices and activate predefined scenes in an IP gateway. Although it is controlling other devices, the Wall Controller cannot act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z- Wave network controller to be included into a Z-Wave network.
  • Page 2: Behavior Within The Z-Wave Network

    This process is called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or exclusion mode.
  • Page 3: Operating The Device

    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 'seperate' to allows different scene id on every button.

    Node Information Frame 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.
  • Page 5: Set And Unset Associations To Actuators

    Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using the device itself. To control a Z-Wave device from the Wall Controller the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one of the four association groups. This is a three-step process: 1.

    Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls. Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
