Controlling Thermostats

Your REVOLUTION remote can control any Z-Wave enabled thermostat. To find the pairing button
for your Z-Wave enabled thermostat, consult your manufacturer's manual.
For thermostats, the REVOLUTION remote distinguishes between the state of your home as being
Occupied versus Unoccupied. When you use the remote to put your thermostat in the "Occupied"
state, it tells the thermostat to set the temperature at the same level as room temperature.
When you use the remote to put your thermostat in the "Unoccupied" state, it tells the thermostat
to set the temperature for energy savings at a level appropriate for evenings and vacations away
from home. Furthermore, you can set the temperature for Unoccupied in advance.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS

Z-Wave: Z-Wave uses reliable, low power radio waves to control all aspects of your home
wirelessly: lighting, climate control, safety and security, home entertainment, energy conservation,
remote monitoring, and more. With no programming at all, you can add any Z-Wave enabled
device or many non-Z-Wave devices with adapters, to your home's network and control them
with your REVOLUTION Remote Control. Before you create a Z-Wave network, make sure to
delete all nodes (if any exist) and then reset the network.
Pairing: The process of adding Z-Wave enabled devices or module adapters to a home network
and confirming their successful inclusion using your REVOLUTION Remote Control in Monster mode.
Nodes: Individual nodes represent individual Z-Wave enabled devices or module adapters. that
have been paired with the REVOLUTION Remote Control. Up to 232 nodes can be added to a
network (i.e., Inclusion). Nodes can be removed from a network (i.e., Deletion), or renamed at will.
Scenes: The bottom row of buttons numbered 1 through 9 is a collection of Scene buttons.
A scene exits when the user has set up as few as one or as many as 64 nodes to be controlled
together by one of these buttons. Using the Key/Shift/TV button, users can assign scenes
10 through 18 to buttons 1 through 9 respectively for a total of 18 scenes. Scenes 1 through 9
are available at all times from any mode of operation. Scenes 10 through 18 are available only
in Monster mode or while setting up scene controllers.
Events: You can schedule the REVOLUTION Remote Control to perform certain actions at specific
times on a daily, weekly, weekday, or weekend basis. Such events execute with respect to
a specific node or scene.
Network: All nodes paired with your REVOLUTION Remote Control are recorded into its internal
database and together form "the network." The network can include lighting modules, thermostat
modules, or any Z-Wave enabled device. Successful inclusion or deletion of a node from the
network requires both the remote control and the node to be within the range of the network.
Inclusion: The successful addition of a node to a network.
Deletion: The successful removal of a node from a network.
Replication: The successful duplication of all network nodes from one remote controller
to another. This can be convenient, for example, if you want to keep one controller upstairs
and another downstairs.
Monster Mode: The operating mode of the REVOLUTION Remote Control that enables users to pair
Nodes and also work with Scenes, Events, Thermostats, the Network, and Additional Controllers.
