    Z-Wave Configuration tab in the project properties window. These are not required in most cases when operating Z-Wave devices with a Z-Wave module in a Control4 system. They can be used for extending operation with external devices and third-party Z-Wave controllers.

  • Page 5: Adding Z-Wave Devices

    Adding Z-Wave devices After configuring your Z-Wave controller, add drivers corresponding to the Z-Wave devices to your project. Many Z-Wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver, like a door or window driver, added into your Control4 project to represent the Z-Wave device in a Control4 Navigator.

  • Page 6: Motorization, Sensor, And Light Drivers
