Installation Steps

1. Install the Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe adaptor in your embedded hardware.
2. Install Z-Way software
   The maximum potential of the Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe adaptor is achieved together with Z-Way software.
   To install Z-Way on your embedded hardware visit https://storage.z-wave.me/z -way-server/site. Supported platforms are Debian/Ubuntu x64, Raspbian OS armhf (32 bits), FreeBSD (C library only), and Windows 32 bits.

NOTE : Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe Adaptor is also compatible with other third-party Z-Wave software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API.
After the successful installation of Z-Way, make sure that you are in the same local network as your embedded hardware and open the Z-Way Web UI using a browser by typing in the address bar:http://IP:8083.

PRIVACY NOTE : Z-Way by default connects to the server find.z-wave.me to provide remote access. If you don’t need this service, you can turn off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Main menu > Settings > Remote Access). All communications between Z-Way and the server find.z-wave.me are encrypted and protected by certificates.

You can change the radio frequency of the Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe Adaptor at any time by going to the Expert UI http://IP:8083/expert, Network > Control and selecting the desired frequency from the list. The Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe Adaptor constantly improves and adds new features. To use them, you need to update the is done from the Z-Way Expert UI under Network > Controller Information.

Interface

The “Smart Home” user interface looks similar on different devices such as desktops, smartphones or tablets, but adapts to the screen size. The user interface is intuitive and simple:

• Dashboard (1)
• Rooms (2)
• Widgets (3)
• Events (4)
• Quick automation (5)
• Main menu (6)
• Device widgets (7)
• Widget settings (8)

1. Favorite devices are displayed on the Dashboard (1)
2. Devices can be assigned to a Room (2)
3. The full list of all devices is in Widgets (3)
4. Every sensor or relay triggering are displayed in Events (4)
5. Set up scenes, rules, schedules and alarms in Quick Automation (5)
6. Apps and system settings are in the Main menu (6)

A device can provide several functions, for example, a 3-in-1 Multisensor provides motion sensor, light sensor and temperature sensor. In this case there will be three separate widgets (7) with individual settings (8).
Advanced automation can be configured using local and online Apps. Apps allow you to set up rules like “IF > THEN”, to create scheduled scenes, set auto off timers. Using applications you can also add support for additional devices: IP cameras, Wi-Fi plugs, EnOcean sensors and set up integrations with Apple HomeKit, MQTT, IFTTT etc. More than 50 applications are built-in and more than 100 can be downloaded for free from the Online Store. Applications are managed in the Main menu > Apps.
