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

This Duwi Wall Controller is a single paddle controller to control other Z-Wave devices such as dimmers, switches or window blinds. The unit has dedicated buttons for inclusion, exclusion and association and is able to work as a primary controller. It is delivered completely with single frame and switching paddle for Duwi Everlux. The unit is battery powered and therefore can be mounted on every plain and clean place.

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 button “Exclusion”” for 6 seconds (LED starts blinking in all three colors) followed by a triple click of the UP or a triple click of the DOWN button. The LED will turn green for 3 seconds if the reset was successful and then turn off. If the reset failed or timed out the LED will shine red.

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 device can be mounted on every flat surface either using two screws or strong double sides type. To access the devices base the switching paddle need to be removed. Below the switching paddle the device has three more network control buttons. Insert both the batteries (2 x LR8D425) into the battery case while paying attention to the indicated plus (+) / minus (-) poles. The wireless wall switch can now be mounted.

Attention: The electronic circuit of the wall-mounted switch can be damaged in the case of wrong insertion of batteries.

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

Once the primary controller is turned into inclusion mode 2 seconds pressing the “Include” button will include this device into the primary controllers network. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards.

Exclusion

Once the primary controller is turned into inclusion mode 2 seconds pressing the “Include” button will include this device into the primary controllers network. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly afterwards.

Product Usage

The Controller controls other devices with its switching paddle (communication pattern 6 and 7). The upper part of the paddle will issue an ON command, the lower part will issue an OFF command to a group of devices associated with this controller.

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:

Triple click on either the button

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:

The device can be waken up manually by tripple pressing the paddle. Attention. Wakeup period is very short (1s)

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:

Special Operations as Z-Wave Controller

As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller
it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a primary controller
the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage associations,
and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller functions
are supported:

Inclusion of other devices

Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same
wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a controller.
The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion mode
the other device needs to confirm the inclusion – typically by pressing a button.

If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and
any other secondary controller can also include and exclude devices.

To become
primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.

1. Triple click the button “Inclusion”. The LED will start blinking green. The controller is now in the inclusion mode and ready to include devices into its own network.
2. Confirm the inclusion on the device that shall be included. Please refer to the manual of the device for more information on the inclusion process of this device.
3. A successful inclusion is indicated by a green LED for 3 seconds. A failed or timed out inclusion is indicated by a red LED.

If inclusion of a new device fails, exclude it first from its previous network or reset it.

Exclusion of other devices

The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During exclusion
the relationship between the device and the network of this controller is terminated.
No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can happen
after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the exclusion mode.
Once in this exclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the exclusion – typically
by pressing a button.

Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back
into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from it’s previous
network.

1. Triple click the button “Exclusion””. The LED will start blinking. Now the controller is in the exclusion mode.
2. Press the button on the device to be excluded or refer to manual of this device on how to exclude this device.
3. The LED will turn green for 3 seconds if the exclusion was successful and then turn off. If the exclusion failed or timed out the LED will turn red.

Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from its previous network.

Shift of Primary Controller Role

The device can hand over its primary role to another controller and become
secondary controller.

The primary shift is initiated on the device by pressing the Association button for 6 seconds (LED blinks yellow) followed by pressing the include button for three seconds (LED blinks green). Now the new primary controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Pushing UP or DOWN terminates the primary shift.

Management of Association in the controller

1. Triple click “Association” button.
2. Single click the UP Button
3. Issue a Node Information Frame from the target device. This is usually done by single or triple click a button. Please refer to the manual of this device how to issue a NIF.
