  • Page 11 Control The Control Tab allows operating the various types of devices and shows the reported values in case of sensors or meters. In case the control options offered here are not sufficient please refer to the Expert Command Tab as part of the Configuration menu for a full set of functions supported by the device.
  • Page 12 Meters The meter dialog lists all devices of the network providing (accumulating) meter information. Device name and id, the type of the meter, the actual meter value and the meter scale is listed. The Date/time column indicates when the given sensor value was received. Its possible to call for a meter update but bear in mind that battery operated device will only respond after the next wakeup.
  • Page 13 Attention: The temperature value does not differentiate between heating and cooling devices. If a cooling and a heating function shall have different set points please refer to the expert command section for more precise command settings. DoorLocks The door lock dialog lists all door lock devices of the network. Device name and id, the current status of the lock and last time of the change of the status is listed.
  • Page 14 The type info dialog lists all devices of the network and indicates if they support enhanced Z-Wave functions such as Security and Z-Wave Plus. Their Z-Wave protocol version, their application version and their device type indicator is shown for information purposes too.
  • Page 15 Configuration The Configuration Tab allows configuring the functions of the device. Pick the device to be configured from the drop down list to access four tabs.

  • Page 17 A ssociation Associations allow switching a Z-Wave device B (target) as a result of an event in Z-Wave device A (source). Z- Wave device A offers lists of devices to switches for each event supported. The list of these events - also called association groups - and the devices that are associated with it are shown in the Association tab.
  • Page 18 Exp e rt Command s The expert command section displays the status values and possible commands in a very generic way. On the left hand side the different channels of the device are listed in a column. In case there is only one channel (that’s the case for most devices) only channel 0 is shown. Clicking on the number opens a dialog showing all internal variables for the channel.
  • Page 19 ‘BIN’ format or ‘HEX’ format. The target field allows specifying the target memory/processor for the update process. For updating the Z-Wave firmware part a ‘0’ must be set. The firmware updating process will take up to 10 minutes. Please don’t do any other operation during this time.
  • Page 20 A checkbox defines if the node information in the z-wave chip itself shall be overwritten as well. This operation result in a possible loss of all network relationships and may require a re- inclusion of devices.
  • Page 21 The function Remove Failed No d e allows removing a node that is not longer communicating with the controller. After multiple failed communications with a device the controller will mark this device as failed and avoid further communication. This function finally removes such a device from the network configuration.
  • Page 22 Changing the frequency may result in malfunction of your network. If you are uncertain about the consequences of this change, don’t touch the buttons! The Z-Box hardware can be changed into every valid frequency however the antenna filter used with Z-Wave transceivers will attenuate the wireless signal for wrong frequencies. At the moment there are three different types of antenna filters allowing operation in the three frequency groups.
  • Page 24 This table shows the neighborhood relationship of devices. The id, the name and the type of the node are listed. Dark green indicates that the two devices are in direct wireless neighborhoods and don’t need any other device to forward their signals. A Light green connection needs one router between.
  • Page 25 It is however also possible that a battery operated device just went back to sleep too fast. Z-Wave pros can read a lot out of this timing information particularly when combined with the routing table.
  • Page 26 The second block gives detailed information about the Role of the controller in the network, the Z-Wave transceiver hardware used, firmware running on the Z-Wave transceiver and the release information of the Z-Way software. This information may be needed during support and debugging.
  • Page 27 The last block shows the availability of the function calls on the serial API between the Z-Wave transceiver and Z- Way. ‘Not implemented’ means that Z-Way is either not knowing about the function indicated by the function ID or does not make any use of it. A red function call id or name indicated that Z-Way is able to use this function but the transceivers firmware did not report to offer this service.
