Z-WAVE-ME RAZBERRY 7 PRO Z-Wave Shield with External Antenna Instruction Manual

Z-WAVE-ME RAZBERRY 7 PRO Z-Wave Shield with External Antenna Instruction Manual

Congratulations! You have got a modern Z-Wave shield RaZberry 7 Pro with extended radio range. RaZberry 7 Pro will transform your Raspberry Pi into a full featured smart home gateway.

Installation steps:

1. Install the RaZberry 7 Pro shield on the Raspberry Pi GPIO
2. Install Z-Way software

The RaZberry 7 Pro shield is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, but is fully compatible with all previous models, such as: A, A+, B, B+, 2B, Zero, Zero W, 3A+, 3B, 3B+. The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 Pro is achieved together with Z-Way software.

There are several ways to install Z-Way:

1. Download a flash card image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed Z-Way (flash card minimum size is 4 GB) https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/raspberryPiOS_zway.img.zip
2. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from an apt repository: wget -q -O – https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash
3. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from a deb package: https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/

It is recommended to use the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS

NOTE: RaZberry 7 Pro 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 Raspberry Pi has Internet access. In the same local network go to https://find.z-wave.me, you will see the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login form. Click on the IP to reach the Z-Way Web UI initial setup screen. The welcome screen shows the Remote ID and will prompt you to set the administrator password.

NOTE: If you are in the same local network with the Raspberry Pi, you can access Z-Way Web UI using a browser by typing in the address bar: http://RASPBERRY_IP:8083.

After setting the administrator password you can access the Z-Way Web UI from anywhere in the world, to do this go to https://find.z-wave.me, type ID/login (e.g. 12345/admin) and enter your password.

PRIVACY NOTE: Z-Way by default connects to the server find.z-wave.me in order 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 RaZberry 7 Pro shield at any time by going to the Expert UI http://RASPBERRY_IP:8083/expert, Network > Control and select the desired frequency from the list.

RaZberry 7 Pro shield constantly improves and adds new features. To use them, you need to update the firmware and activate the necessary functions. This is done from the Z-Way Expert UI under Network > Controller Information.https://z-wave.me/raz

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:

1. Favourite devices are displayed on the Dashboard (1)
2. A 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’s 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)

The device can provide several functions, for example a 3-in-1 Multisensory 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, Endogean sensors and set up integrations with Apple Home Kit, 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.

2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements
Module test instructions are provided in the online manual in RF tests section.

To investigate the maximum EMI emission characteristics generates from EUT, the test system was pre-scanning tested base on the consideration of following EUT operation mode or test configuration mode which possible have effect on EMI emission level. Each of these EUT operation mode(s) or test configuration mode(s) mentioned above was evaluated respectively.

RADIATED EMISSION TEST (BELOW 1GHz):

Pre-Scan has been conducted to determine the worst-case mode from all possible combinations between available modulations, data rates, XYZ axis and antenna ports (if EUT with antenna diversity architecture). For the test results, only the worst case was shown in test report.

RADIATED EMISSION TEST (ABOVE 1GHz):

Pre-Scan has been conducted to determine the worst-case mode from all possible combinations between available modulations, data rates, XYZ axis and antenna ports (if EUT with antenna diversity architecture).

2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules) listed on above. If used as part of other product, the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification. The final host product requires Part 15 Subpart B compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
