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.

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.

1. Take the magnet and move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink, then move the magnet away.
2. Repeat this 3 times, but on the 3rd repetition, keep the magnet at the rounded edge for 10 seconds. A long LED signal indicates success.

Installation

Mounting Strips with adhesive
Strips Comfort has an adhesive backing which can be used to mount Strips in an indoor environment with no direct contact with water.

Please make sure the surface is clean, dry and at least +10″°C (+50″°F). Remove the protective tape from Strips and place Strips firmly on a surface.

Note * Strips adhesive is permanent and may damage your Strips or surface upon removal. If you need to remove Strips make sure to follow the necessary steps at: https://sensative.com/remove”

Mounting Strips with base plate

Remove the protective tape from Strips adhesive. Mount Strips Comfort on the marked ““Strips Side”” of the mounting plate as illustrated above (b).Use the plate to mark the holes, then take included screws and mount Strips to its location.
Your Strips Comfort is now mounted and added to your Z-Wave controller.

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 your Z-Wave Controller application and start pairing mode.
2. Move switch down and remove the magnet from the back of the Strip.
3. One long LED blink means Strips has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network.
If you have previously removed the magnet from Strips, or need to re-add the device, performing a manual wake up will join the device when the controller is in pairing mode.

Exclusion

1. Take the magnet and move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink, then move the magnet away.
2. Repeat this 3 times. A final short blink will confirm that the user- command was successful.

Product Usage

For Good Communication:
Strips uses low power radio signals to communicate with your Z-Wave controller. For best results, please consider the following:

Strips should not be mounted directly on magnetic surfaces or encased within a metal structure as the range will reduced.

Strips range is up to 100 meters.”

Any non-battery Z-Wave device will act as a repeater to increase network reliability and range.

To make sure Strips is connected to your network
Once added to your network, Strips will send a temperature, light (LUX), air- humidity report after one minute after the inclusion is completed. Make sure Strips status has been updated in your Z-Wave controller.

Please note that
Poor network reliability will affect Strips battery life. To make sure you have a good network, place Strips at its intended location and perform a Wake Up . If Strips blinks 5 times, this indicates that Strips failed to communicate with the controller. If it happens you may move the Z-Wave controller closer or add an extender between the controller and Strips Comfort.

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:

1. Take the magnet and move it to the rounded edge and wait for the blink, then move the magnet away.
2. Repeat this 3 times. A final short blink will confirm that the user- command was successful.

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:

7| 5| High ambient light (LUX) level trigger = ON255 (0xFF) Low ambient light (LUX) level trigger = OFF00 (0x00) Values could be modified using the configuration parameters 38 & 39

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.
