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.

Product Description

Aeon Labs Home Energy Meter Gen5 is a Z-Wave device that can monitor the total amount of electricity of your home. It can report the wattage energy usage and KWH usage to a Z-Wave Controller (especially a gateway). In near real-time youll have a full understanding of how much electricity you use and when you use it.Products that are Z-Wave certified can be used and communicate with other Z-Wave certified devices. Also a tool that can be programmed, scheduled, controlled and communicated with from anywhere in the world.

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 and hold the Action button that you can find on the product’s housing for 10 seconds and then release. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country- specific
installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of
the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

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.

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:

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:

Group NumberMaximum NodesDescription

1| 5| Group 1 is assigned to the Lifeline association group and every device has 5 nodes to associate.Automatic Reports will be sent to the associated nodes in association group 1.

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.

Turn the primary controller of Z-Wave network into inclusion mode, short press the products Action button that you can find on the product’s housing.

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.

Turn the primary controller of Z-Wave network into exclusion mode, short press the products Action button that you can find on the product’s housing.

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.
