Advanced Concepts - Z-Wave Control4 Setup Manual

Advanced concepts

3 Add the replacement Z-Wave device to the mesh according to the
manufacturer's instructions (usually by pressing the Z-Wave button) before
the timer expires.
4 When the device is added successfully, the timer will show complete and a
message will say the replacement was successful.
Replication—Control4 controllers do not implement controller replication. The
controller will respond appropriately to replicate requests.
Basic Command Class—Control4 controllers allow controlling unknown devices
with the Basic Command Class (see Non-Preferred devices below). Control4
controllers "Do Nothing" when receiving Z-Wave Basic Command Class
commands.
Non-Preferred Devices—Control4 controllers allow adding unknown Z-Wave
devices through a "Generic Z-Wave" driver. When a device is connected to this
driver, it can be controlled through the Basic Command Class using the
properties page for the device. Information reported from the device is also be
available on this properties page. Non-preferred devices can also be added to a
Z-Wave mesh using the Available Devices Add button. This allows devices to be
added and then associated using manufacturer specific methods for doing so.
See manufacturer specific documentation on how to create associations on
specific devices.
Association Command Class—Control4 controllers implement associations on
the Lifeline association group (group 1). This association is used to provide
device reset information to an associated device. A single associated device is
supported.
Repeater Functionality—This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network
with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All non-battery
operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to
increase reliability of the network.
