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

It is a Z-Wave enabled device (interoperable, two-way RF mesh networking technology) and is fully compatible with any Z-Wave enabled network and its security framework. Every mains powered Z-Wave enabled device acts as a signal repeater and multiple devices result in more possible transmission routes which helps eliminate RF dead-spots.Z-Wave enabled device displaying the Z-Wave logo can also be used with it regardless of the manufacturer, and ours can also be used in other manufacturers Z-Wave enabled networks.Z-WAVE2RTS interface receives Z-Wave signals and translates them into RTS commands for Somfys RTS motor. The Z-Wave2RTS interface supports mulit-channel Command Class for up to 8 devices corresponding to 8 individual or groups of Somfy motorized products. The Z-Wave2RTS requires 12-24Vdc power supply by power adaptor or 5Vdc via micro-USB adaptor.

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.

Reset the Z-Wave module to factory mode:1. Power OFF the Z-Wave2RTS interface.2. Press and hold the Z-Wave PROG button.3. Power ON the Z-Wave2RTS interface and wait for 10 seconds.4. The Z-Wave LED flashes indicating that the data is cleared and it is open to join Z-Wave network.Remark: Please use this procedure only in the event that your network primary controller is missing or otherwise 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.

Inclusion

Inclusion:1. Enable the Z-Wave HUB into the Inclusion mode.2. Short press the Z-Wave PROG button for 3 times. ZWave2RTS interface will be included in the Z-Wave network automatically.3. The Z-WAVE LED turns OFF indicating that the Z-Wave2RTS interface has successfully joined the Z-Wave network.

Exclusion

Exclusion:1. Power ON the Z-Wave2RTS interface.2. Enable the Z-Wave HUB into exclusion mode.3. Short press the Z-Wave PROG button for 3 times.4. The Z-WAVE LED flashes indicating that the Z-Wave2RTS interface has successfully been removed from the Z-Wave network.

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| 1| Z-Wave Plus Lifeline (Report ZWave2RTS interface address to ZWAVE Hub (node) after reset.)
---|---|---
2| 5| Report DCT status to Hub (node) when DCT port is triggered. The DCT status feedback send to Hub automatically.If EndPoint is defined, it will be use MultiChannel Command to report the DCT status

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

• Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
  Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.

• Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
  Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.

• Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
  a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.

• Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.

• Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.

• Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
  a controlled device.

• Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
  device to announces that is able to communicate.

• Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
  Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
