PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Push-Control is a compact, battery-powered, Z-Wave Plus™ compatible device. It allows you to control devices through the Z-Wave network and run various scenes defined in Yubii smart home system. Different actions may be triggered with one to five clicks or by holding the button down. In panic mode, each press of the button results in triggering the alarm defined in the Z-Wave controller. Due to its small design and wireless communication, Push-Control can be conveniently mounted on any surface and in any position or location at home, e.g. beside the bed or under the desk.

Main features

Compatible with any Z-Wave™ or Z-Wave Plus™ Controller
Supports Z-Wave network Security Mode with AES-128 encryption
Completely wireless with battery power and Z-Wave communication
May be installed anywhere in your home
Extremely easy installation – simply add and put on desired surface
Available in three distinctive colors: white, black, and red

Push-Control is a fully compatible Z-Wave Plus™ device

This device may be used with all devices certified with the Z-Wave Plus certificate and should be compatible with such devices produced by other manufacturers. All non-battery operated devices within the network will act as repeaters to increase reliability of the network. The device is a Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus product and a Security Enabled Z-Wave Controller must be used in order to fully utilize the product.

BASIC ACTIVATION

Press and turn the button counterclockwise to open the casing.
Remove the paper strip underneath the battery.
Press and turn the button clockwise to close the casing.
Place the device within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
Set the main controller in (security/non-security) add mode (see the controller’s manual).
Click the button 6 times at least.
Wait for the device to be added into the system, successful adding will be confirmed by the controller.
Install the device in desired location using the attached self-adhesive pad.
Click the button 4 times to wake it up.

ADDING THE DEVICE

Adding in security mode must be performed up to 2 meters from the controller.
In case of problems with adding the device, please reset the device and repeat the adding procedure.

Adding (Inclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to add the device to existing Z-Wave network.

To add the device to the Z-Wave network manually:

Place Push-Control within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
Set the main controller in (Security/non-Security) add mode (see the controller’s manual).
Click Push-Control at least six times.
Wait for the adding process to end.
Successful adding will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message.

REMOVING THE DEVICE

Removing (Exclusion): Z-Wave device learning mode, allowing to removal the device from existing Z-Wave network.

To remove the device from the Z-Wave network

Place Push-Control within the direct range of your Z-Wave controller.
Set the main controller in remove mode (see the controller’s manual).
Click Push-Control at least six times.
Wait for the removing process to end.
Successful removing will be confirmed by the Z-Wave controller’s message.

Note: Removing the device from the Z-Wave network restores all the default parameters of the device.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

Operating the button

Depending on how and how many times Push-Control is pressed, it will perform a different action.

Table A1 – Responses to button actions

Action| Response
1 click| send action to associated devices (switch on/off by default) and/or trigger a scene
2 clicks| send action to associated devices (switch on maximum level by default) and/or trigger a scene
3 clicks| send action to associated devices (no action by default) and/or trigger a scene
4 clicks| wake the device up and/or trigger a scene
5 clicks| start reset procedure (press and hold for 5s to confirm) and/or trigger a scene
6 or more clicks| learning mode (adding/removing)
Hold| send action to associated devices (start level change up/down) and/or trigger a scene
Release| send action to associated devices (stop level change) and/or trigger a scene

Note: If notifications are enabled, each press of the button results in sending a command (Notification Type=HOME_SECURITY, Event=Intrusion, Unknown Location).

Waking up the device

Push-Control needs to be woken up to receive information about the new configuration from the controller, like parameters and associations.
Click Push-Control 4 times to wake it up.

Scene ID

Every action with Push-Control is send to the main controller with Scene ID equal to 1. Controller recognizes type of action using the attribute assigned to it.

Table A2 – Scene ID attributes sent

Reset procedure of Push-Control

Reset procedure allows to restore the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave controller and user configuration will be deleted. In order to reset the device:

Click Push-Control exactly five times.
Press and hold Push-Control for at least 5 seconds.

Note: Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary controller is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.

ASSOCIATIONS

Association (linking devices): direct control of other devices within the Z-Wave system network e.g. Dimmer, Relay Switch, Roller Shutter or scene (may be controlled only through a Z-Wave controller).

Association allows direct transfer of control commands between devices, is performed without the participation of the main controller and requires associated device to be in direct range. The device supports the generic Z-Wave command class “Basic” but will ignore any SET or GET commands and will not respond with a Basic Report.

Push-Control provides the association of four groups:

1st association group – “Lifeline” reports the device status and allows for assigning single device only (main controller by default).
2nd association group – “On/Off” is assigned to clicking the button and is used to turn on/off associated devices.
3rd association group – “Dimmer” is assigned to holding the button and is used to change level of associated devices.
4th association group – “Alarm“ is assigned to clicking and/or holding the button (triggers are defined in parameter 30) and is used to send alarm frames to associated devices.

Push-Control in 2nd, 3rd and 4th group allows to control 5 regular or multichannel devices per association group, with the exception of “LifeLine” that is reserved solely for the controller and hence only 1 node can be assigned. It is not recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

ADVANCED PARAMETERS

The device allows to customize its operation to user’s needs using configurable parameters.
The settings can be adjusted via Z-Wave controller to which the device is added. The way of adjusting them might differ depending on the controller.

Wake up interval

Push-Control will wake up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main controller. After successful communication attempt, the device will update configuration parameters, associations and settings and then will go into Z-Wave communication standby. After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device will go into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish connection with the main controller after the next time interval. Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the controller automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by clicking Push-Control 4 times.

Available settings: 0 or 3600-64800 (in seconds, 1h – 18h)
Default setting: 0

_ Note: _A longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus longer battery life.
