OVERVIEW

Congratulations!

• You have got a modern Z-Wave™ shield RaZberry 7 with an extended radio range.
• RaZberry 7 will transform your Raspberry Pi into a full-featured smart home gateway.
• RaZberry 7 Z-Wave shield (Raspberry Pi not included)

Installation steps

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

• The RaZberry 7 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, and 3B+.
• The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 is achieved together with Z-Way software.

There are several ways to install Z-Way:

1. Download a flashcard image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed Z-Way (flashcard 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 -0 – 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 is also compatible with other third-party 2-Wave software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API.

• After the successful installation of 2-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 Ul 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 as the Raspberry Pi, you can access Z-Way Web Ul 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 Ul 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 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.

INTERFACE

• The “SmartHome” 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 is 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 Multisensor provides: a 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, and 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.

Z-WAVE FEATURES

• RaZberry 7 [Pro] supports the newest Z-Wave technologies such as Security S2, Smart Start, and Long Range. Make sure your controller software does support those features.
