Z-Wave S2 Setup Guide
With a Control4© CORE 3 or CORE 5 controller you can add and control supported ZWave™ devices to your Control4 system. The Z-Wave radios in the CORE controllers are Z-Wave S2 compliant and support Z-Wave Long-Range devices. Z-Wave S2 requires a CORE 3 or CORE 5 controller running OS 3.3.1 or newer.

Note! This guide covers Z-Wave S2 on a CORE controller. For the Z-Wave module on an EA or CA-1 controller, see ctrl4.co/z-wave.
Important! For best results, do not install the controller running Z-Wave in a metal enclosure or near materials that interfere with wireless signals.

Configuring a Z-Wave S2 controller

You can use System Design to check the project properties, enable a Z-Wave controller, and view the status of the Z-Wave controller running in a Control4 project.

To configure a Z-Wave S2 controller:

1. In the Project Tree, select the Project Name (top line of the Project Tree) object for the project properties to appear.
2. Click on the Z-Wave Configuration tab.
3. Check the box under Z-Wave Enabled for the controller you want to be your Z-Wave controller.

Note: Only one Z-Wave controller can be configured in a Control4 project.

The configuration should show a status of SecureS2 for Z-Wave S2 on a CORE controller when it is configured properly. If the Status field is empty, make sure the ZWave module is connected and installed properly, and that the CORE controller is online and identified in the project.

Note: The Status field for a Z-Wave module on an EA or CA-1 controller will show SecureS0 to indicate a legacy Z-Wave network when it is configured properly.

Advanced configuration

Several options are available for advanced Z-Wave configurations in the Z-Wave Configuration tab in the project properties window. These are not required in most cases when operating Z-Wave devices with a Z-Wave module in a Control4 system. They can be used for extending operation with external devices and thirdparty Z-Wave controllers.

● Reset Defaults —Reset Defaults clears the Home ID on the Z-Wave controller and abandons any nodes on the existing network. Any Z-Wave devices previously joined to the network must be removed before they can join the new network. See “Removing Z-Wave devices.” Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Note: If this controller is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in the nodes in your network being orphaned and it will be necessary, after the reset to defaults, to reset and re-add all of the nodes in the network. If this controller is being used as a secondary controller in the network, use this procedure to reset this controller only if the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

● Send Node Info —When connected to another mesh, Send Node Info sends information about the controller to all other devices on the mesh.

Adding Z-Wave devices

After configuring your Z-Wave controller, add drivers corresponding to the Z-Wave devices to your project. Many legacy Z-Wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver, like a door or window driver, added into your Control4 project to represent the Z-Wave device in a Control4 Navigator.

Z-Wave Common drivers

Z-Wave Common drivers can be used for Z-Wave S2 devices if there is not a manufacturer-specific Z-Wave driver. Z-Wave Common drivers include:

• Z-Wave Common Light—You can use this common light driver for many Z-Wave S2 lights and dimmers.
• Z-Wave Common Sensor—You can use this common sensor driver for many Z-Wave S2 sensors, like a window sensor or a motion sensor.
• Z-Wave Common Relay—You can use this common sensor for many Zwave S2 relays, like a door lock or outlet switch.

To add a Z-Wave Common driver into your project:

1. In System Design, enter Z-Wave Common in the Search tab.
2. Double-click on the driver to add it into the project. You can also rightclick on the driver and select Add to Project to add the driver.
3. If you have more than a couple Z-Wave devices, it is recommended that you rename this driver to help with troubleshooting multiple devices. Right-click on the driver and select Rename. Enter a descriptive name and press Enter.

Z-Wave legacy device drivers

To add a Z-Wave legacy device driver into your project:

1. In System Design, enter the name of driver in the Search tab.
2. Double-click on the driver to add it into the project. You can also rightclick on the driver and select Add to Project to add the driver.
3. If you have more than a couple Z-Wave devices, it is recommended that you rename this driver to help with troubleshooting multiple devices. Right-click on the driver and select Rename. Enter a descriptive name and press Enter.

Most Z-Wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver. For example, a window contact sensor device driver also needs the Window Contact Sensor driver and an outlet module device driver needs the Z-Wave Dimmable Light (Outlet) driver.

Motorization, sensor, and light drivers

To add a motorization, sensor or light driver into your project:

1. In System Design, enter the name of the driver in the search field in the Search tab.
2. Double-click on the driver to add it into the project. You can also rightclick on the driver and select Add to Project to add the driver.
3. This is the driver that will show up in the UI, rename the driver to represent the device it is controlling. Right-click on the driver and select Rename. Enter the name to be shown in the UI and press Enter.

Connecting Z-Wave devices

After you have added all the necessary device drivers and motorization, sensor or light drivers into your project, you are ready to make the necessary connections for these drivers.

There are two types of connections that need to be made:

• Connect Z-Wave device drivers to the Z-Wave controller and identify them into the project
• Connect Z-Wave device drivers virtually in the Control4 project to motorization, sensor, or light drivers

Connecting Z-Wave S2 device drivers to the ZWave network

To connect a Z-Wave device driver to the Z-Wave controller:

1. In Connections in the Network tab, select Z-Wave Network.
2. In Available Devices on the right, click Add.
3. Identify (add) the Z-Wave device according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually by pressing a Z-Wave button on the device. See the documentation for the Z-Wave device for more information.
4. For Z-Wave S2 devices, If prompted, enter the pin. The pin is usually found on the device itself and is required to enable secure Z-Wave S2 functionality. If the pin is entered incorrectly, the device functionality will be limited.
5. Click and drag the device from Available Devices to the driver for the ZWave device in the middle pane and release the mouse.

Connecting legacy Z-Wave device drivers to the ZWave network

To connect a Z-Wave device driver to the Z-Wave controller:

1. In Connections in the Network tab, select Z-Wave Network.A list of Z-Wave device drivers will show in the Z-Wave Network Connections window.

2. Double-click on the Z-Wave device driver to open the identify window or highlight the device and click on the Identify button.

3. Identify (add) the Z-Wave device according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually by pressing a Z-Wave button on the device. See the documentation for the Z-Wave device for more information.
   Note: You have 60 seconds to identify (add) the Z-Wave device to the network and a timer will show the time remaining. If you run out of time, close the window and try to identify the Z-Wave device again.

4. After adding the Z-Wave device to the Z-Wave network, the driver will do some additional configuration.
   Important: Do not skip this step by closing the window or clicking next!

5. If the device is added, configured, and identified successfully, the address will show in the address field and the timer instructions will change to say “Identification Successful”. Note: If the Z-Wave device will not identify (add), you should try to remove the device and then try to identify the device again. See “Removing Z-Wave devices”.

Using the Z-Wave SmartStart agent to add devices

You can add SmartStart-enabled devices into a network by entering the DSK into a Node Provisioning List of a controller providing SmartStart inclusion. No further action is required and the SmartStart device is added automatically when switched on in the network vicinity.
The Control4 CORE controllers can perform SmartStart inclusions both for Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range nodes.
Use the Z-Wave SmartStart agent to add Z-Wave devices to your Z-Wave S2 network on a Control4 CORE controller without having to send the identify sequence from the device.

To add the Z-Wave SmartStart agent:

1. In the Agents view, click Add.
2. Double-click the Z-Wave SmartStart agent to add it to the project.

To add a Z-Wave device using the SmartStart agent:

1. In Agents, select Z-Wave SmartStart.
2. Enter the DSK of the Z-Wave device. The device must support Z-Wave SmartStart protocols.

Other options in the Z-Wave SmartStart agent

The SmartStart tab in the Z-Wave SmartStart agent consists of a table populated with entered device specific keys (DSK) and corresponding SmartStart parameters.
DSK —DSK is used both for unique identification of the device and secure key exchange or out-of-band authentication. Generally, its format can be one of the following:

• 8 groups of 5 decimal characters separated by hyphens
• 16/18/22/26 groups of 2 hexadecimal characters separated by hyphens

Z-Wave SmartStart agent uses the first format (e.g. “11111-22222-33333-4444455555-66666-77777-88888”).

INCLUDE —There is an INCLUDE checkbox for each DSK. INCLUDE is used to indicate if the device identified by the DSK must be included into the network. In case that Include checkbox for corresponding DSK is not selected, the Z-Wave protocol controller will not include the device when it detects its presence.
PROTOCOLS —By clicking on Arrow under protocols, the SmartStart agent displays a list of preferred protocols for SmartStart. This is a prioritized list and is used to indicate the preferred protocols for inclusion, the first element being the highest priority.
During a SmartStart inclusion, the protocol controller initiates the inclusion with the protocol of highest priority that is supported by the device. This option can be useful in case multiple protocols are supported by the device.
UNID —UNID is the SmartStart parameter which is used to advertise which UNID has been assigned to the SmartStart entry. UNID is in the form “zw- homeID-nodeID”. The UNID field indicates that the unique identifier is assigned to the node. A non-empty value means that it is included in our network + —Click on + to add another DSK in SmartStart list with its own SmartStart parameters.

IMPORT DSK FILE —Click IMPORT DSK FILE to import device specific keys from a file. In the file, one DSK must be in each line.
NOTE: If you use another window outside of Composer Pro and switch back, and then need to enter text in the SmartStart agent, click to another tab like System Design and back to refresh the agent.
NOTE: Bootstrapping Mode setting is not available for provisioning list entries.
NOTE: Advanced Joining setting (selecting which keys shall be granted) is not available for provisioning list entries.
NOTE: If the S2 Security Bootstrapping is handed-over by another controller, check the INFO tab of the
Z-Wave SmartStart agent for a DSK/PIN input dialog.

Connecting Z-Wave device drivers to motorization, sensor or light drivers

To connect a Z-Wave device driver to a motorization, sensor or light driver:

1. In Connections under the Control/AV tab, select the Z-Wave device driver.
   The Control & Audio Video Connections window will show the available connections.

2. Click on the Control Output connection Door/Window Sensor and the available devices to connect appear below in the CONTACT_SENSOR Input Devices window.

3. Click and drag the contact sensor output in the upper window to the contact sensor input in the lower window. When a valid connection is available, the cursor changes and has a + symbol. Release the mouse button to make the connection.

When the Z-Wave devices are connected to the appropriate motorization, sensor or light drivers, the UI will now show appropriate drivers to represent the Z-Wave devices.
Now the Z-Wave device drivers must be connected to the Z-Wave controller and identified in the project.

Available Devices

When the device is identified and added to the Z-Wave network, the Available Devices window will show the device online with a green icon. A Z-Wave device that is added to the Z-Wave network and also identified to a device driver will show the device driver name and location next to the Node ID.

Z-Wave devices that are added to the Z-Wave network, but not identified to a device driver will show up with just the Node ID.

Removing Z-Wave devices

Z-Wave devices can be removed from any network at any time by using the Remove button found in Available Devices. This is true even if they are not part of the network performing the remove operation.
Removing Z-Wave devices from a previously installed network requires an available ZWave controller and interaction with the Z-Wave device-usually by pressing the ZWave button on the device. There is no “Remove from mesh” button press sequence similar to ZigBee Pro devices.

Removing Z-Wave devices from the network

To remove a Z-Wave device from the network:

1. In Connections in the Z-Wave Network, click Remove in the Available Devices window.The Removing Z-Wave Device window appears and a 60 second timer starts.

2. Remove the Z-Wave device from the network according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually by pressing a Z-Wave button on the device. See the documentation for the Z-Wave device for more information.
   Note: If the device is not removed from the network before the timer ends, close the window and click the Remove button to try again.

3. If the device was removed successfully, the timer will stop and the window will say the devices was removed from the network.

4. If the device is not removed from the network before the timer ends, close the window and click the Remove button to try again.

Removing failed Z-Wave devices

If a Z-Wave device has become lost or inoperable so that a physical button press cannot be performed to remove it from the network, the Remove Failed option is provided. Remove Failed is used to force a Z-Wave device off of the network.
Important! Do not use this option if the device is operational. Use this option only if a device has physically failed and is inoperable!
To remove a failed Z-Wave device:

1. In Connections under Z-Wave Network, right-click on the Node ID of the failed Z-Wave device, and select Remove Failed.
2. The controller will make one last attempt to communicate with the Z-Wave device. If the device successfully communicates, the Remove Failed will not proceed and the device must be removed using the Remove button instead. Remove the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions, usually by pressing the Z-Wave button.
3. If the communication attempt fails, the device will be removed from the network and will not be tracked as a Z-Wave node by the Z-Wave controller. Be aware that this device must now be reset to defaults before using the device again within the system. See the manufacturer’s instructions for more information.

Advanced concepts

Replication —Control4 controllers do not implement controller replication. The controller will respond appropriately to replicate requests.
Basic Command Class —Control4 controllers allow controlling unknown devices with the Basic Command Class (see Interoperability below). Control4 controllers “Do Nothing” when receiving Z-Wave Basic Command Class commands.
Interoperability —Control4 controllers allow adding unknown Z-Wave devices through a “Z-Wave2 Universal” driver. When a device is connected to this driver, it can be controlled through the Basic Command Class using the properties page for the device. Information reported from the device is also be available on this properties page. Nonpreferred devices can also be added to a Z-Wave mesh using the Available Devices Add button. This allows devices to be added and then associated using manufacturer specific methods for doing so. See manufacturer specific documentation on how to create associations on specific devices.
Association Command Class —Control4 controllers implement associations on the Lifeline association group (group 1). This association is used to provide device reset information to an associated device. A single associated device is supported.
Repeater Functionality —This product can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers. All mains operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

Using Z-Wave2 Universal Driver

Compatible devices —Features implemented in this driver should be supported for all Z-Wave certified devices.

Driver Limitations

CORE 3/CORE 5 controller partially controls Multilevel Switch Command Class. It is possible to set and see the current level of Multilevel Switch supporting node. Multilevel Switch supporting node is represented both with an OnOff and a Level functionality.

To set the level of Multilevel Switch supporting node, navigate to SEND tab of Z-Wave Universal Driver and choose MoveToLevel command. Then, enter desired values for Level and TransitionTime.
It is possible to specify the 0xFF duration for Multilevel Switch Set Commands by setting the TransitionTime to 1. 

Notification Command Class
CORE 3/CORE 5 controller partially controls Notification Command Class. The controller supports interviewing node supporting Notification Command Class.
Due to the diverse nature of the Notification states and events that can be reported via the Command Class, information from Notification Command Class is displayed in IASZone and OccupancySensing cluster of the Z-Wave Universal Driver.

The OccupancySensing cluster will be shown as Occupied when receiving:

• Home Security – Motion Detection
• Home Security – Motion Detection with location
• Home Security – Intrusion
• Home Security – Intrusion (location provided)
• Access Control – Door window open

The OccupancySensing cluster will be shown as UnOccupied when receiving:

• Home Security – State Idle (Motion Detection)
• Home Security – State Idle (Motion Detection with location)
• Home Security – State Idle (Intrusion)
• Home Security – State Idle (Intrusion location provided)
• Access Control – Door window closed

The state of an IASZone cluster is shown in the ZoneStatus for the following type and events:

• Home Security – Motion detected -> Alarm2
• Home Security – Intrusion -> Alarm1
• Home Security – Tampering -> Tamper

It is not possible to send commands for the Notification Command Class.

Security 0 – Security 2 Command Class
CORE 3/CORE 5 controller supports Security 0 and Security 2 Command Class. The set of granted keys is shown in the following table:

Thermostat Mode Command Class
CORE 3/CORE 5 controller partially controls Thermostat Mode Command Class. The controller can display the last known state of Thermostat Mode supporting node.
SystemMode represents the current mode of Thermostat Mode Command Class.
It is not possible to set the Thermostat Mode.

Thermostat Setpoint Command Class
CORE 3/CORE 5 controller partially controls Thermostat Setpoint Command Class. The controller can change setpoint for a supported type.
To set the Thermostat Setpoint, navigate to the CLUSTERS tab of Z-Wave Universal driver and choose Thermostat cluster. Then, enter the desired value for Occupied Setpoint. If the desired value is within the allowed range, the value of Occupied Setpoint will be changed.  

The value of Occupied Setpoint will not change if you entered the value outside of allowed range.

Z-Wave Long Range
Control4 CORE controllers can operate as Z-Wave Long Range controllers. Nodes can be included using Z-Wave Long Range.
Control4 CORE controllers do not support QR Code scanning. We use Z-Wave SmartStart agent for inclusion.
In Z-Wave SmartStart agent, you can change the bootstrapping mode by clicking on Arrow under Protocols and choosing desired preferred protocol for inclusion.

Identify the controller using the Indicator command class

When sending the Indicator command class to the CORE controller, the Caution LED on the front of the controller blinks green. The on time, off time, and number of blinks can be specified in the parameters of the command class.

Troubleshooting

When joined to a network, a Z-Wave device will not join a different network. Z-Wave devices can be removed from any network at any time by using the Remove button found in Available Devices. This is true even if they are not part of the network performing the remove operation. If there appears to be trouble joining a device to a network, it is a good idea to either perform a reset defaults on the device, or explicitly perform a removal procedure, prior to attempting to add the device to the existing network. This ensures the device is not currently configured for another network prior to adding the device to the desired network.
