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

Recessed Door Sensor 7 is a wireless notification sensor product which is embedded inside the wooden door or window. This product is powered by battery and used for detecting the opening or closing of doors, windows. It can communicate with an associated Z-Wave product, such as Siren, Switch, etc. This product supports Security 2 Command Class. While a Security S2 enabled Controller is needed in order to fully use the security feature. This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified products from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.This product supports the Over The Air (OTA) feature for the product’s firmware upgrade.

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.

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.

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| Lifeline group. (1) Device Reset Locally Notification: Issued when Factory Reset is performed. (2) Battery Report: lssued periodically to report the current battery level; lssued when battery becomes low. (3) Sensor Binary Report: Issued when Magnet is away or near. (4) Notification Report (Type=0x06; Event=0x16): Issued when sensor state is changed to be Open Status. (5) Notification Report (Type=0x06; Event=0x17): Issued when sensor state is changed to be Close Status. (6) Notification Report (Type=0x08; Event-0x01): Issued when battery voltage change exceeds 20%. (7) Notification Report (Type-0x09; Event=0x04; Param=0x55): Issued when reset due to Watch-Dog Timeout.

2| 5| Issue Basic Set when Maqnet is away or near. (The Basic Set Value is determined by Confiquration Parameter 3)

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 1: Binary Sensor Report

Enable/Disable Binary Sensor Report. Allow for backward compatibility to report Binary if Notification Report cannot be use for status changes.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

0| Disable. Sensor Binary Report will NOT be issued via Lifeline when Magnet is away or near.
---|---
1| Enable. Sensor Binary Report will be issued via Lifeline when Magnet is away or near.

Parameter 101: Timed battery report

Set how often battery is reported in minutes.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 70

SettingDescription

Parameter 2: Sensor Reports

Reverse Sensor Reports (both Sensor Binary Report and Notification Report.)
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 3: Association Group 2 Settings

Configure the Basic Set value. Determine the Basic Set value to control other Z-Wave devices directly when Magnet is away or near.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

Magnet is near.
2| Send Basic Set 0x00 when Magnet is away, and send Basic Set 0xFF when Magnet is near.
3| Only send Basic Set 0xFF when Magnet is away.
4| Only send Basic Set 0x00 when Magnet is near.
5| Only send Basic Set 0x00 when Magnet is away.
6| Only send Basic Set 0xFF when Magnet is near.

Parameter 4: Application Layer Retry

Configure retry number and wait time. The device supports an application retry mechanism when the application of the device has detected a transmission error when Basic Set, Sensor Binary Report or Notification Report (Access Control) message is sent out but fails to result in an ACK or a Supervision Report.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

0 – 1535| The Byte 1 is used to configure the number of retries. The valid value is 0-5. 0 means disable retry. The Byte 2 is used to confiqure the wait time between retries. The valid value is 0-255. Unit is 100ms.
---|---

Parameter 5: Supervision Report Wait Time

Configure Supervision Report Wait Time
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 15

SettingDescription

1 – 50| Unit is 100ms. Note:Issuing Basic Set, Sensor Binary Report or Notification Report(Access Control) via association groups uses Supervision encapsulation only if sending commands with S2(or higher security) encapsulation. In other word, this parameter can be configured in any network, but works only in S2 (or higher security) network.
