Further information

User levels
With the MyVirtuoso Home APP it is possible to create different levels of users, each with different privileges. At the first connection with the gateway, it will be mandatory to create and use an Admin user, with which it will be possible to subsequently create other user levels. The user levels of the MyVirtuoso Home APP are three, from the highest to the lowest:

Admin
Installer
Standard
Smart

The highest level of users, the Admin is the one with all the privileges. It allows you to modify or delete the parameters of the devices, the scenes, the automations and to invite new users to the gateway under its control, defining their user level.

To add a new user, follow these steps:

In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “User profile”.
Scrolling down the page you will find the “Shared access” section, which will show the list of all users with access to the same gateway and related user levels.
By clicking on “Add a new user” it will be possible to add new people to the control of the gateway on which you are working. You will need to specify the name, surname, email address and permission level of the new user.

WARNING: only after this procedure will it be possible to add other users to the gateway.
The Installer level has the same privileges as the Admin level. However, an Admin can, when he wishes, limit access to the installer: in this case, the Installer will no longer have total control of the system, but will only see the technical data (routing table, timing info).

To restrict Installer access, proceed as follows:

In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “User profile”.
Scrolling down the page you will find the “Installer access” section.
By activating or deactivating the “Restrict access to the installer” button, he will be limited or given back the Admin privileges.
The Standard level allows the control of devices, scenes and automations created by the Admin, but not their modification or deletion. It also has no way to invite other users, to modify the gateway parameters, to read the routing table. It cannot force the gateway update or restart it.
The Smart level has the same privileges as the Standard level, with the difference that they are limited by the Admin, who can choose to have him control only some scenes or some rooms (and therefore devices).

WARNING: We inform you that the maximum number of webcams that can be configured with the MyVirtuoso Home gateway depends on the maximum number of users that can be connected to your router. The maximum number of Z-Wave devices that can be included in the gateway does not concern webcams as they do not use the Z-Wave communication protocol.

Search for the webcam
This procedure allows the gateway to automatically search for webcams on the network to which MyVirtuoso Home is connected.

Proceed as follows to search for webcams automatically:

From the “Devices” screen, press on .
Click on “Add webcam”:
After a short search, the webcams found by the gateway will appear on the screen:
Press on the chosen webcam, enter the webcam data and press “Save” at the top right.
From the “Devices” screen, the newly set webcam will appear and the resumption with an image update in low frequency will appear.
Going into the details of the webcam, you will see the recovery with high frequency image update.

Z-Wave network and functionality

Mesh network concept
One of the greatest advantages of the MyVirtuoso Home system, and therefore of the Z-Wave protocol, is the use of the “mesh network” more commonly known as “mesh network”.
Once included, the devices independently create a network of wireless connections. The nodes created by the 230V powered devices act as repeaters to transmit the signal sent by the closest nodes to the devices that are too far away to be reached directly. The diagram shown explains precisely this operating logic:

Battery-33

Mesh networks are also extremely reliable, since each device is connected to many other devices: if a node fails the network, due to hardware problems or any other reason,neighboring nodes simply look for other paths to transmit the signal (they turn to to other nodes). Network capabilities or resources can be increased simply by installing other devices.

Routing table
The routing table, also called the routing table, indicates how two Z-Wave network devices can communicate with each other. To access the routing table, proceed as follows:

In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “Gateway”.
Click on “Routing table”.
The screen that will be shown will contain all the information to interpret the table.
Timing info
The “Timing Info” function is a useful tool that will help you analyze the stability of your network, reporting any connectivity problems between the gateway and each of your devices. To access the Timing Info table, proceed as follows:
In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “Gateway”.
Press on “Timing Info”.
The table that opens will show you the percentage of success in trying to contact each device by the gateway: the lower the percentage, the more connectivity problems can be.

Message queue
The Message Queue Viewer is a useful tool that will help you analyze the responsiveness of your network. Through this tool you will be able to see the messages in the mailing queue at any time. By doing so, you can check if there are any devices that behave like a virtual “plug”. To access the queue, proceed as follows:

In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “Gateway”.
Click on “Message queue”.

Network type update
After completing the installation of a MyVirtuoso Home system, we recommend that you update the network topology of your system. We recommend carrying out this operation even when you move the gateway inside the building. This operation will lead to an update of the routing table, which means that the devices will choose other and better “ways” to communicate with the gateway. To update the network topology proceed as follows:

In the “Home” tab, press the button at the top right and then on “Gateway”.
Click on “Update routing table”.

NOTE: The system takes a few hours to completely update the network topology.
There may be some slowdowns during this phase. For this reason, it is a good idea not to abuse this option.
