Controller
The Primary Controller is the main device used to set up and control your Z-Wave network. There can
only be one primary controller and it must be used to add or delete devices. A primary controller can be
a portable device like a hand-held remote, a static controller (permanently installed and never moved), a
Z-wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave enabled Ethernet router/bridge. A Secondary controller can not be
used to add or delete devices. If the secondary controller is the same brand and model as the primary, it
will have all of the same capabilities as the primary but can not be used to add or delete devices.
Event
An event is something you want to happen at a specific time and day. This could be every day, a
specific day of the week, Monday through Friday, Saturday and Sunday only, or a one time occurrence.
Events can be set up to control an individual device, a group or a scene.
Exclude
When a device is excluded, it is removed from the LYNX Touch system. Excluding the device also
removes the network pairing from the device's memory.
Important Note: A device must be excluded before it can be moved to another network or re-included after a
controller reset.
Include
Including a device pairs it with the LYNX Touch so that the two can communicate. It is also referred to as
Adding.
Node
Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-Wave device in your home control network. Please note
that the terms "Node", "Device" and "Light" all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled device and are
interchangeable within the context of these instructions.
Rules
Rules are used to automatically perform specified functions in response to certain events, which trigger
scenes.
Scene
A scene lets you control multiple functions automatically. For example you can establish preset
brightness levels for multiple Z-wave controlled lights and then control them with one command. This is
ideal for mood or task lighting. Scene 1 could be the family room lights set to dim for watching TV.
Scene 2 could have the same lights set to a different brightness level for other activities like reading or
entertaining.
Schedules The Schedules Feature can be used to program the system to automatically perform certain functions
(i.e.; automatically arming the system in Stay mode and activating output [Z-Wave] devices) via Scenes.
