Group Association – Direct control of Z-Wave devices.
Notes – Using the below device handler, you have a few options for control using the below SmartApps:
- Direct control of Z-Wave devices
- Bypass SmartThings hub
The Device Handler option above provides you a method to bypass SmartThings and allow you to directly control your Z-Wave Switches and Dimmers for faster control.
Requirements for this to work.
- Make sure that the Security level of NanoMote and the Z-Wave Device are the same. Otherwise they will not be able to communicate.
- Will work
- NanoMote uses S0_Legacy security level
- Z-Wave Switch uses S0_Legacy security level
- Will not work
- NanoMote uses S0_Legacy security level
- Z-Wave Switch uses no security or S2_Security
- Must be a Z-Wave device.
