Z-Wave.Me KFOB2 Quick Start Manual

Key Ring Controller KFOB2

Quick Start

Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
The device operates in normal control mode or in management mode. Pushing all four buttons
for 5 sec. will turn 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. Button 3
confirms standard inclusion or exclusion started by a primary controller, button 2 issues a
Node Information Frame or wakeup notification, button 4 is used to add devices into association
groups and button 1 confirms inclusion or exclusion in NWI (network wide inclusion) mode.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is
communication complying
standard. Z-Wave is the international standard
for wireless communication in smart homes and
buildings. It is using the frequency of 868.42
MHz (EU) or 908 MHz (US) to realize a very stable
and secure communication between devices of
different origin, type and brand. 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.

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.

Product description

The Z-Wave.Me Key Fob 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 KFOB
can't act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or
action.
secondary) and will always need a Z-Wave network
