Z-Wave And Thermostat Programs - Vivint Element CT200 Installation Manual

Z-Wave and Power Supply
The thermostat's node type is fixed when it connects to
the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is not connected and is
only battery-powered when connecting to the network, the
thermostat will remain a frequent listening routing slave
(FLiRS) node until it is removed from the network .
When your thermostat is running on battery power, the Z-Wave
radio will turn off to help conserve battery life. The Thermostat
Z-Wave radio module supports Z-Wave beaming, which allows other
devices in the network to wake up the Z-Wave module and accept
commands and then go back to sleep .
When your thermostat is running on C-Wire power, the Z-Wave radio
will stay on and actively help route messages within the Z-Wave
network. The thermostat's node type is fixed when it connects to
the Z-Wave network; if the C-Wire is present and powered when
connecting to the network, the thermostat will remain an always-
listening node until it is removed from the network .

Z-Wave and Thermostat Programs

You must connect the Thermostat to a Z-Wave network . This unit
cannot operate without a network connection . When you are
paired to a Z-Wave system, the Z-Wave application on your device
controls your thermostat's programs . You can still temporarily
override settings on the thermostat itself, but otherwise you control
it remotely .
