CONFIGURATION

ADD/REMOVE AIDOO Z-WAVE PLUS INTO A Z-WAVE NETWORK (CLASSIC)

The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus is compatible with all Z-Wave/Z-Wave Plus certified controllers. The device supports both the Network Wide Inclusion mechanism (which offers the ability to be included in a network, even if the device is not directly connected to the controller) and Normal Inclusion.
By default, the inclusion procedure starts in Normal Inclusion mode and after a short timeout the procedure continues in Network Wide Inclusion mode that lasts for about 20 Seconds.
Standard Inclusion
The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus is compatible with all Z-Wave/Z-Wave Plus certified controllers. The device supports both the Network SmartStart inclusion mechanism (which offers the ability to be included in a network, even if the device is not directly connected to the controller) and Standard Inclusion.
By default, the inclusion procedure starts in Normal Inclusion mode and after a short timeout the procedure continues in Network Wide Inclusion mode that lasts for about 20 Seconds.
If the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus has not been included yet into the Z-Wave network, the LED will remain off. The procedure of inclusion is activated by pressing the Association Button . As soon as the inclusion procedure initiates, the ** LED remains steady red until the device is included in the network.
Standard exclusion
Only a controller can remove the device from the network. After activating the exclusion function by the controller, the device can be removed by setting it in Learning Mode.
If the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus is already included into the Z-Wave network, the LED will remain steady blue. The procedure of exclusion is activated by pressing the Association Button . As soon as the exclusion procedure initiates, the LED remains steady red until the device is excluded of the network.
SMARTSTART INCLUSION**
Z-Wave SmartStart aims to shift the tasks related to inclusion of an Aidoo Z-Wave Plus into a Z-Wave network away f rom the Aidoo device itself, and towards the more user-f riendly interface of the gateway.
Z-Wave SmartStart removes the need for initiating the Aidoo device to start inclusion. Inclusion is initiated automatically on power-ON, and repeated at dynamic intervals for as long as the device is not included into a Z-Wave network. As the new device announces itself on power-ON, the protocol will provide notifications, and the gateway can initiate the inclusion process in the background, without the need for user interaction or any interruption of normal operation. The Smart Start inclusion process only includes authenticated devices.

The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus can be added into a Z-Wave network by scanning the Z-Wave QR Code present on the product with a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart product will be added automatically within 10 minutes of being switched on in the network vicinity.
The SmartStart QR and the full DSK string code can be found on the front side of the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus. The PIN is the first group of 5 underlined digits of the DSK identified as DSK in the left side of the sticker. If you plan to use the DSK, it is important that you take a picture of the label and keep it in a safe place. S2 SECURE INCLUSION
When adding the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus to a Z-Wave network with a controller supporting Security 2 Authenticated (S2), the PIN code of the Z-Wave Device Specific Key (DSK) is required. The first five digits of the unique DSK code are the key PIN code and is printed on the product label.

Z-WAVE COMMUNICATION

SUPPORTED COMMAND CLASSES

Supporting command class basic
Implemented Mapping:

non Off mode). Otherwise -> Thermostat Mode (0x01)
Basic set (0xx00)| Thermostat Mode (0x00)
Basic GET| Replay with a basic Report with these meaning: Basic Report 0x00 if mode is equal to 0x00
If mode different than 0 reply with Basic Report 0xFF

The basic command classes are mapped into the Thermostat Mode Command Class as required by the protocol specification.
Supporting command class indicator
The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus supports Indicator V3 with Indicator ID 0x50 (identity). When the device receives an indicator set, the backlight  **start to blink accordingly the received command.
Notification Command Class
The system implement notification command class with Type: System (0x09) and event: System hardware failure (manufacturer proprietary failure code provided).
Manufacturer proprietary failure code provided are 2 bytes length (error and warning). The meaning of these bytes are described into the Air conditioning manufacturer’s installation manual.
Associations**
Lifeline group: Nodes belonging to this group will receive: notifications about device reset and all other changes.

Group Group
ID Name| N° of max nodes supported in the group| Description| Command sent
---|---|---|---

DEVICE CONTROL. Z-WAVE APPLICATION COMMAND CLASS MAPPING

The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus controller acts as a gateway between the air conditioner controller interface and the Z-Wave network. The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus interacts with the proprietary protocol of the different A/C manufacturers converting the orders into Modbus commands to trigger the Z-Wave network commands.
The monitoring/control items supported by the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus are mapped to the standard Thermostat Command class object types defined by the Z-Wave protocol. The user can interact with the air conditioning system through the Z-Wave network with the following supported monitoring/control items.

Auto chageover Cooling Heating
Fan
Dry| Thermostat_Mode
Speed| Auto – Medium Low
Medium High
Off| Thermostat_Fan_Mode
Warning| Max 2 Byte| Notification(*)
Error| Max 2 Byte

(*) For the Notification Z-Wave command class, the Aidoo Z-Wave Plus reserves 2 alphanumeric bytes to represent the Air conditioning unit warnings and error codes. The warnings and error codes are represented in a different way according to each manufacturer.
Please refer to the manufacturer’s installation manual to check the meaning of the different codes.
The following interactions with the air conditioning unit will imply a combination of Z-Wave. commands:

Heating Fan Dry
Thermostat_Setpoint
– SetpointType: (Heating, Cooling, Dry Air)
– SetPointValue: (tenths of °C)| Thermostat_Mode Thermostat_Setpoint

It is possible to check the compatible Air conditioning indoor units in the Airzone compatibility checker: https://www.airzonecontrol.com/control_solutions/aidoo/wi-fi

RESET TO THE FACTORY SETTINGS
Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or ortherwise inoperable.
The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus can be reset to the original factory settings by long pressing over the Factoy Reset button until all of the front side LEDs light up for a second.
Note: If the reset is performed while the device is still part of a network, it notifies the other devices in the Lifeline group that it has been removed.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus supports over-the-air firmware updates that do not require the device to be removed from its location. The firmware update can be activated from all certified controllers supporting version 5 of the Firmware Update function.
Important: The Aidoo Z-Wave Plus will be rebooted at the end of the firmware update
procedure. It is advisable to carry out the firmware update procedure only when necessary and following careful planning of the intervention.
