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

Kwikset, the leader in residential security, introduces the Smart Lock Convert Kit with Z-Wave.Extend your smart home system to your current deadbolt, enabling your existing deadbolt to wirelessly communicate with your smart home or security systemDramatically reduced, all-metal interior Works with existing select single cylinder deadbolts

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.

A factory reset will delete all user codes associated with the lock and will remove itself from your smart home system.Please only perform a factory reset when the primary controller is missing or inoperable.To perform a factory reset, please perform the following:1. Remove the battery pack2. Press and HOLD the Program button while reinserting the battery pack.3. Keep holding the button for 30 seconds until the lock beeps and the status LED flashes red.4. Press the Program button once more.The status LED will flash green and red several times.5. After a few seconds, the lock will initiate the door handing process.

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

Initiate the process to add the lock to your system at your smart home controller.When prompted by your smart home system to add the lock, press button A on the lock interior one time. The red LED will illuminate when the lock enters Add Mode.Please allow time for the controller to add the lock to your system.

Exclusion

Follow your smart home systems instructions to remove the lock from the network. When prompted by the system, press button A on the lock interior once.The red LED will illuminate when the lock enters Remove mode.

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 electronic conversion kit remains asleep until an action occurs on the latch or a request is received from the RF side.For the RF side, it will wake up every 1 second to check if there are any requests from your smart home controller.

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 LifelineSupports the following types of unsolicited messages:Battery Report – sends periodic battery reports containing the battery percentage.Door Lock Operation Report – upon power up, this message will be sent to allow the controller to sync up with the current lock status.Notification Report – many notification types will be sent for status and alarms.The following notification types are supported:Access Control (V2) and Power Management (V2).Device Reset Locally Notification – this message will be sent to notify the smart home controller that the lock is resetting back to factory defaults and will be leaving the network.
---|---|---
2| 5| This group will provide all Notification reports as described for the Lifeline.This group allows other controllers, other than the lifeline, to receive these types of unsolicited messages as well.

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 31: Dipswitch settings

This is a one byte read only bit mask that returns the state of the user accessible dipswitches on the rear panel of the door lock.0x01: Lock Status LED (1: enabled, 0: disabled)0x02: Autolock setting (1: enabled, 0: disabled)0x04: Buzzer (1: enabled, 0: disabled)0x08: Secure Screen (1: enabled, 0: disabled)
