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

Smart plug is a Z-Wave Switch plugin module specifically used to enable Z-Wave command and control (on/off) of any plug-in tool.

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.

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.

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.

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 151: Threshold of power report

Set the power threshold. When the load power value exceeds this threshold, the smart plug will send a power report to the associated device (Lifeline Group).
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 50

SettingDescription

Parameter 152: Percentage threshold for power reporting

Set the power percentage threshold. When the load power percentage value exceeds this threshold, the smart plug will send a power report to the associated device (Lifeline Group).
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 10

SettingDescription

Parameter 171: Frequency of power reports

Defines how often power reports are sent to associated devices (Lifeline Group).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 3600

SettingDescription

Parameter 172: Frequency of energy reports

Defines how often energy reports are sent to associated devices (Lifeline Group).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 7200

SettingDescription

Parameter 173: Frequency of voltage reports

Defines how often voltage reports are sent to associated devices (Lifeline Group).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 174: Frequency of electric current reports

Defines how often electric current reports are sent to associated devices (Lifeline Group).
Size: 4 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 20: Overload protection

Smart Plug keep detecting the load power, once the AC current exceeds 11.5A for more than 5s, smart plug’s relay will turn off.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

Parameter 21: Device state after power on

Defines the state of the plug when the power is turned on.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

0| The Smart Plug will remain in the same state as it was before the power off.
---|---
1| The smart plug is turned on by default.
2| The smart plug is turned off by default.

Parameter 24: Send reports when load status changes

Defines whether to send report to the associated device (Lifeline Group) when the load status of the Smart Plug changes.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

SettingDescription

Command.

Parameter 254: Enable/Disable the configuration command

Enable:The values of other parameters can be changed.Disable:The values of other parameters cannot be changed.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

Parameter 27: The state of indicator light

Define the corresponding state of the indicator light when the load changes.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

SettingDescription

0| The indicator light remains the same as the load on/off status. When the load is on, the light is on. When the load is off, the light is off.
---|---
1| Within 5 seconds after the operation load, the indicator light is consistent with the load on/off status, and then the indicator turns off.

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.
