The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions.

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

Residential energy usage is driven by the home’s heating and cooling system, and Powerley provides the connectivity to understand usage of the home’s HVAC and control remotely or automatically with the Powerley Thermostat. The Powerley Thermostat uses the Z-Wave protocol and can be seamlessly integrated into the connected home via the Powerley Energy Bridge to facilitate communication and control between the devices. The thermostat provides the user with the ability to remotely control home temperature and also allows Powerley to optimize the HVAC system’s use balancing energy usage and comfort. The device also provides for the ability to facilitate Demand Response events, including allowing the consumer to choose whether or not to participate in the event via push notifications.

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.

Factory ResetPlease use Factory Reset only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable. To reset to factory defaults, turn the thermostat off by pressing Mode repeatedly until OFF scrolls across the display, then press and hold the down and up Setpoint arrows at the same time for 5 sec. If successful, RESET will scroll across the display and the device will be restored to its default settings.NOTE: If a reset to factory default settings is performed, all settings including Z-Wave configuration parameter values and temperature setpoints will return to default values:Heat: 68 Cool: 78 Measure: Fahrenheit Swing: +/- 1 Multi-stage temp differential: 3 System Type: 2-stage conventional heating & cooling

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

Z-Wave Inclusion ProcessFirst, be sure your Energy Bridge has power and the green light is illuminated. Follow the in-app instructions along with the steps below to include your Thermostat.To put your thermostat into inclusion mode, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds. CONNECT will scroll across the thermostat display once in inclusion mode. SUCCESS will scroll across the thermostat display once included. FAIL will scroll across the thermostat display if inclusion is unsuccessful, or if process takes longer than 1 minute. See the next page for troubleshooting.To learn more about which Z-Wave command classes this thermostat supports, visit:www.powerley.com/thermostat /command-classes

Exclusion

Z-Wave Exclusion ProcessTo exclude your Thermostat, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds to initiate Z-Wave exclusion process. DELETE will scroll across the thermostat display once in inclusion mode. To cancel the exclusion process, press Mode. To complete exclusion press either of the up/down arrows. SUCCESS will scroll across the thermostat display once excluded.NOTE: Excluding the thermostat will restore it to the default state for Z-Wave and temperature set points.

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| This thermostat supports a single Z-Wave Association Group (Group 1) called the u0022lifeline. All thermostat related commands are sent to the NodeID programmed in Group 1. Z-Wave commands that are sent to Group 1 include:Battery LevelThermostat heat set pointThermostat cool set pointDevice local reset notificationTemperatureHumidityFan modeFan mode current state of operationThermostat modeThermostat current state of operation

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.
