What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This
device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message ( 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.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the
same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices
secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security.
Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain
backward compatibility.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer

Product Description

Aeon Labs Door/ Window Sensor ” Gen5 is a smart Z-Wave sensor that can detect the status of door/window”‘s open/close in real time.
It”‘s a security Z-Wave device that supports security encryption. Also it supports over the Air Firmware Updating,” that allows you wirelessly update its firmware if needs.
It can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from manufacturers and/or other applications.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default
state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by
performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave
controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary
controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly
from this network.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Press the Action Button once that you can find in back of the product for 20 seconds and then release.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used.
Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.

Installation

The installation of your Door Window Sensor has two major steps: the Main Sensor and the Magnet. Your Door Window Sensor will use wireless technology to talk to your Z-Wave network once paired to your Z-Wave network.

Selecting where you”‘ll place your Door/Window Sensor in your home is just as important as the actual affixing it to the surface.

Whether it?s for security or intelligence purposes, your sensor:

1. Should be affixed indoors and away from sources of moisture.

2. Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is either a gateway or not powered by batteries.

3. The magnet and the main sensor must be less than 2cm apart. Main sensor must be affixed to the door or window and the magnet must be affixed to the frame. The magnet and the main sensor must separate when the door or window is opened.

4. Should not be mounted on a metal frame.

Affix your Sensor plates to a surface.

The Mounting plates can be affixed using screws or double-sided tape.

If you are using screws, attach both mounting plates to the respective surface using the two 20mm screws provided.

If you are using double-sided tape, wipe the two surfaces clean of any oil or dust with a damp towel. When the surface has completely dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the corresponding section on the rear side of the mounting plates.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs
to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network.
This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion.
Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This
controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is
then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

1. Open the housing.”
2. Remove the battery protection.
3. Press the button on the device once.

Exclusion

1. Open the housing .
2. Press the button in the device once.

Product Usage

Node Information Frame

The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains
information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and
exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame.
Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node
Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action:

Press and hold the Action Button on the back of the Sensor unit for 3 seconds

Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)

This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time
to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to
communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network.
This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller,
communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly
decreased.

This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup
state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then
empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired
wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by
a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary
configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery
life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform
the following action:

Press the Action Button once, which will trigger sending out the Wake up notification command, press and hold the Action Button for 3 seconds, which will toggle on/off the Sensor be waked up for 10 minutes.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association – one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device
controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different
device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always
related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, …). In case
the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a ‘Basic Set’ Command.

Association Groups:

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however
certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further
enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring
signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 … 255 the value sent in
the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a
parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may
needed to be given as negative values too.

Parameter 1: Value Type (Sensor Binary)

Which value of the Sensor Binary Report will be sent when the door is open/close.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

Parameter 2: WackUp

Parameter 39: Low Battery value

Set the low battery value
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 10

SettingDescription

Parameter 111: Battery interval report

Note: 1, if the value is less than 10, the time unit is second. If the value is more than 10, the time unit is 4 minutes, which means if the value is more than 10 and less than 240, the interval time is 4 minutes. If the value is more than 240 and less than 480, the interval is 8 minutes. 2, if the current battery report falls below the low battery value (configurable parameter 39), it will send battery report=0xFF.
