Quick start

Installing your Door Window Sensor

The installation of your Door Window Sensor has two major steps: the Main Sensor and the Magnet. Your Door Window Sensor will use wireless technology to talk to your Z-Wave network once paired to your Z-Wave network.

Selecting where you’ll place your Door/Window Sensor in your home is just as important as the actual affixing it to the surface.

Whether it’s for security or intelligence purposes, your sensor:

Should be affixed indoors and away from sources of moisture.
Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is either a gateway or not powered by batteries.
The magnet and the main sensor must be less than 1.6cm apart for the small magnet installation or 2.5cm apart for the big magnet installation. Main sensor must be affixed to the door or window and the magnet must be affixed to the frame. The magnet and the main sensor must separate when the door or window is opened.
Should not be mounted on a metal frame.

Affix your Back Mounting Plate and Magnet to a surface.
The Back Mounting Plate can be affixed using screws or double-sided tape and should be mounted on the apex angle of the door. The Magnet must be affixed using double-sided tape and can’t exceed the valid range, see the figure below.

Note

There are 2 types of Magnets (Magnet 1: 30mm×6mm×2mm, Magnet 2:
30mm×10mm×2mm) , the size of magnet 2 is a little larger than magnet 1, so the magnetism of magnet 2 is stronger than the magnet 1.
You can choose to install each one of magnet on the door frame according to your need or the distance between the door and frame, see the figure below.
Keep Magnets away from children to avoid swallowing.

When the Back Mounting Plate is affixed by the double-sided tape, wipe the two surfaces clean of any oil or dust with a damp towel. When the surface has completely dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the corresponding section on the rear side of the Back Mounting Plate.

Adding your Sensor to your Z-Wave network

With your mounting plates prepared to hold each component of your sensor, it’s time to add it to your Z-Wave network.

Let your Z-Wave primary controller/gateway enter into adding/inclusion mode.
Take your Sensor near to your primary controller.
Press the Action Button once on your Sensor. The green LED will blink.
If your Door Window Sensor has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its green LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then the orange LED will fast blink for 10 minutes if the Sensor does not receive the Wake Up No More info Command from Controller. If the adding was unsuccessful and the red LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then off, repeat the above steps.

With your Sensor now working as a part of your smart home, you’ll be able to configure it from your home control software or phone application. Please refer to your software’s user guide for precise instructions on configuring the Door Window Sensor to your needs.

Attach your Sensor to its Back Mounting plate

With your Sensor added to the Z-Wave network. It’s now time to insert the main unit into the corresponding sensor plate.
Put the main unit in the top-left direction on the Back Mounting, and then push the Sensor into the Back Mounting Plate, as the figure below shows.

After the installation is complete, you can also paint on the Door Window Sensor to match with the door color and let them look like a whole unit.

Advanced functions

Send a wake up notification

In order to send your Sensor new configuration commands from your Z-Wave controller or gateway, it will need to be woken up.

Remove your Sensor unit from its Back Mounting Plate, press the Action Button on the back of the Sensor unit and then release the Action Button.
This will trigger and send a wake up notification command to your controller/ gateway.
If you want your Sensor to keep awake for a longer time, press and hold the Action Button on the back of the Sensor unit for 3 seconds, then your Sensor will wake up for 10 minutes and the orange LED will fast blink while it is awake.

Removing your Sensor from your Z-Wave network

Your sensor can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller/gateway. To do this, please refer to the part of their respective manuals that tell you how to remove devices from your network

Put your primary controller into device removal mode.
Unlock your Sensor from the Back Mount plate and take the Sensor unit near to your primary controller.
Press the Action Button on your Sensor.
If your Door Window Sensor is successfully removed from the Z-Wave network the RGB LED will become a colourful gradient for a few seconds and then turn off. If the removing was unsuccessful, the RGB LED will be solid for 8 seconds and then turn off, repeat the above steps.

Security or Non-security feature of your Sensor in Z-wave network.

Including Door Window Sensor as a non-secure device

If you want your Sensor as a non-security device in your Z-wave network, you just need to press the Action Button once on Door Window Sensor when you use a controller/gateway to add/include your Sensor. The green LED will be on for 2 seconds and then the orange LED will fast blink for 10 minutes (if the Sensor does not receive the Wake Up No More Info command from primary Controller) to indicate the inclusion is successful.

Including Door Window Sensor as a secure device

In order to take full advantage of all functionality the Door Window Sensor, you may want your Sensor is a security device that uses secure/encrypted message to communicate in Z-wave network, so a security enabled controller/gateway is needed for the Door Window Sensor to be used as a security device. You need to press the Sensor’s Action Button 2 times within 1 second when your security controller/gateway starts the network inclusion. The blue LED will be on for 2 seconds and then the orange LED will fast blink for 10 minutes (if the Sensor does not receive the Wake Up No More Info command from primary Controller) to indicate the inclusion is successful.

Factory Reset your Sensor

If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may wish to reset all of your Door Window Sensor’s settings to their factory defaults. To do this, press and hold the Action Button for 20 seconds and the green LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then be colourful gradient to confirm a success.

Your Sensor’s battery

Your Door Window Sensor has a internal rechargeable lithium battery that will last for 6 months on a full charge when it is in normal use condition. The charger’s output should be a micro USB terminal with the specification of output DC 5V/1A.
When the Door Window Sensor is in charge state, the orange LED will be on. If the orange LED is off and the green LED remains on, then it indicates that the battery charge is complete.
