ZME_KFOB
Key Chain Remote Control with 4 buttons
Firmware Version : 1.2
Quick Start
S
This device operates as Z-Wave sensor. The device can be in normal control mode or management mode.
Pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. will turn the fob into management mode. Management mode will time out
after 10 sec. if no button is pushed. Button 3 confirms standard inclusion/exclusion by a primary controller,
button 1 confirms a network wide inclusion. Button 2 issues a node information frame or wakeup notification,
button 4 adds associated device.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the
international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the frequency of
868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. 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.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
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.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the network and
including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't manage
the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not possible to

Page 2: 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 fob can’t act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z-Wave network controller to be included into a Z-Wave network. -
Page 3: Operating The Device
Direct Control of Devices in proximity Basic Set and SwitchMultilevel Dim commands are sent to a device in proximity (50...100 cm) from the Fob. Attention: In case there are more than one Z-Wave devices nearby all these devices may be switched. For this reason the proximity function should be handled with care. This mode implements communication pattern 7. -

In management mode the following actions can be performed: Button 1 - Network Wide Inclusion: The device can be included into a Z-Wave Network from any physical location in the network. This requires a primary controller supporting Explorer Frames. This mode lasts for 20 seconds and stops automatically. -
Page 5: Node Information Frame
Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using the device itself. To control a Z-Wave device from the Key Fob the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one of the four association groups. This is a three-step process: 1. -
