Simply connect our Gateway to your GreenWave Reality energy management system, plug your devices into our PowerNodes, and then monitor and control the devices’ power usage through a Web browser or smartphone application. -
Page 4: Powernode Overview
PowerNode Overview The GreenWave Reality PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your devices to electrical outlets and your GreenWave Reality energy management system so that you can monitor and control your devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or smartphone application. PowerNodes are available with a one-port or multi-port configuration. - Page 5 PowerNode plug: Prongs that you plug into your electrical outlet. PowerNode port: Port where you plug in your device. Room color selector: Wheel that you rotate you specify the associated room color. Network button: Button that you press to sync PowerNode with Gateway. Activity indicator and power on/off button.
- Page 6 Room Colors Your PowerNode has a corner wheel with colored numbers to represent the room or device that the PowerNode is powering. Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). For example, you can set the room color to blue.
- Page 7 Indicators Your PowerNode has an indicator that displays any of the following patterns and colors to show you its current status: Two rotating green bars: PowerNode Off (no color): All PowerNode ports connected to is in inclusion mode to connect with the Gateway are off.

Page 8: Installation
Installation Before you install your PowerNode and devices, make sure that your GreenWave Reality Gateway is already connected to your energy management system and operating (refer to the instructions that came with your Gateway). There are four basic steps to install your PowerNode and devices: Set the PowerNode room color. - Page 9 1. Set the PowerNode Room Color Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). The room color selection is strictly to help you identify the room when you monitor and control its power usage.

- Page 11 PowerNodes if their radio signals are blocked by obstacles such as large metal panels or walls containing wire mesh. When placing these devices in your home, imagine invisible lines connecting between them. Try to keep these lines clear from obstruction as much as possible. Also place your PowerNodes at least 1.5-3 feet (.5-1 meters) above floor level to promote reception.

Page 12: Common Z-Wave Tasks
Common Z-Wave Tasks The GreenWave Reality PowerNodes communicate wirelessly with the Gateway by use of Z-Wave mesh networking, which is a robust connection technology designed for home automation with security and privacy in mind. The more Z-Wave compatible devices installed in your home, the better coverage your private GreenWave Reality energy management system will have. -
Page 13: Network Exclusion Process
If you attempt to include a PowerNode from another energy management system with an “alien” Gateway, the inclusion will fail and the indicator bars will flash rapidly. To complete the process you must perform the following steps: Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. Locate the network button on the PowerNode. - Page 14 A PowerNode that has been previously used with a different Z-Wave network must have its association (homeID) with the other network removed before you can connect it to your GreenWave Reality energy management system. This process is called “exclusion” and requires two steps: one that must be performed with the Gateway and then one that is performed with the PowerNode.
