Z-Wave Terminology - GE 45633 User Manual

If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to
create your control network. You can use multiple remote controls
with your Z-Wave lighting control network; however, only one
remote will act as the primary controller. The primary controller
must be used to add or delete devices (lights / nodes) from your
network. The secondary controllers cannot add or delete devices
from your network. Please note that if the primary controller is an
SIS (see Z-Wave Terminology below) your secondary controllers
can operate as "inclusion controllers" and add/delete devices.
NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with
Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other
applications. The different listening nodes within the network can
act as repeaters regardless of vendor.
For best results, please read all the remaining instructions before
using the remote. Keep this guide for future reference.

Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY

Associate: This is the Z-Wave term for linking two units so that a
source unit sends commands or information to a destination unit.
One example would be where a motion sensor turns on a light
when it detects movement.
Event: An event is something you want to happen at a specific
time and day. This could be everyday, a specific day of the week,
Monday through Friday, Saturday & Sunday only, or a one time
occurrence. Events can be set up to control an individual light, a
group or a scene.
Group: Groups can also be thought of as an area or zone. Multiple
Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or OFF with a single com-
mand when they are placed into a Group. One example would be
grouping your porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights
together so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a strange
sound in the middle of the night.
Home Control Network: Your controllers and every Z-Wave device
you have added with the primary controller are linked together
into a wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique
address assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor's
Z-Wave controller.
Include / Exclude: Include and exclude are the formal terms used
to describe adding, removing or deleting devices to or from the
control network or groups and scenes.
Inclusion Controller: An inclusion controller is a secondary con-
troller with the ability to add & delete devices. In order to be an in-
clusion controller, the secondary controller must have been added
to a network that has a static (stationary) primary controller which
functions as an SIS (Static update controller with ID Server). An SIS
