The Z-Wave® Concept Z-Wave®, from Sigma Designs, is a proprietary wireless protocol oriented towards the residential control and automation (Smart Home) market. It allows wireless remotely controlled home appliances, products and systems, to be integrated and work well together in a mesh network modular topology. Z-Wave® application uses simple, reliable, low-power radio frequency (RF) communication channel and high reliability protocol to unify home electronics into an integrated wireless network. Z-Wave® operates within the Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band on a single frequency using frequency-shift keying (FSK) radio and its throughput is suitable for control and sensor interface applications. Each Z-Wave® network (mesh topology) may include up to 232 nodes and consists of two sets of nodes: controllers and slave devices. Nodes may be configured to retransmit the message in order to guarantee connectivity in multi-path environment of the residential house. Average communication distance between two nodes is 100 feet (30 meters), and with message ability to hop up to four times between nodes, it gives enough coverage for most residential houses. The Z-Wave® interface may be added to almost any electronic device in the house, including devices that were not meant to be “intelligent” such as appliances, window shades, thermostats and home lighting.
Installation of the We.R™ System We.R™ System User Guide 181 All Z-Wave-certified products “speak the same language” to provide true Z-Wave® interoperability. A given device must be added to the Z-Wave® network before it can be controlled via Z-Wave® controller. This process (also known as “pairing” see Appendix G on page 299) is usually achieved by pressing a button on the device, an operation which must be performed once, after which the device will always be recognized by the controller. Devices can also be removed from the Z-Wave® network through a similar process of button strokes. 3.14.2. Essence Z-Wave® Controller Unlike all other We.R™ peripheral devices, the We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller is classified as a controller (just like the system’s Central Control Unit) and not as a peripheral device. The Z-Wave® Controller is the We.R™ system interface to Z-Wave® approved Smart Home devices allowing control of such devices via the We.R™ system thus expanding the We.R™ system’s capabilities and devices’ portfolio beyond Essence ECOP RF protocol capabilities. The dongle connects to the We.R™ Central Control Unit (CCU) as an add-on. Figure 149: The Essence Z-Wave® Controller Dongle The Z-Wave® Controller incorporates two connecting points:  A cable with a mini-USB™ type connector which connects to the We.R™ Central Control Unit’s mini-USB™ back-panel socket, and  A mini-USB™ socket, on its other end, for the Central Control Unit’s power adaptor connector.
Installation of the We.R™ System 182 We.R™ System User Guide 3.14.2.1. The We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller Generic Device Classes In theory, every controllable or controlling device at home can be equipped with Z-Wave® technology. Therefore, a broad variety of different devices and functions should be expected. However, there are some basic functionality patterns that allow categorizing different devices:  Each device will either control other devices or being controlled by other devices. In the Z-Wave® terminology, controlling devices are called controllers, reporting devices are called sensors and controlled devices are called actuators.  It is also possible to combine a logical sensor controller or actor function within one physical device.  Actors switch either digital (i.e. ON/OFF for an electrical switch) or analog signals (i.e. 0 to100% for a dimmer).  Sensors deliver either a digital signal (i.e. door, glass breaking and motion detector) or an analogue signal (i.e. temperature, humidity, power). The Essence We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller was developed to serve as a generic controller covering all Z-Wave® supported generic device classes. Four (4) different end-devices were implemented insofar:  Binary Switches – ON/OFF.  Multilevel Switches – like a Dimmer.  Thermostats – like Climate Controllers.  Door Locks. Notes: Once integrated into the We.R™ system’s configuration, the Z-Wave® Controller will accommodate all devices based on these categories, regardless their manufacturer.
Installation of the We.R™ System We.R™ System User Guide 183 3.14.3. Installing the Z-Wave® Controller Notes: The following procedure of installing the We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller is based on the assumption that the Z-Wave® Controller is being added onto a fully operational We.R™ system. Due to the installation procedure, a Power Failure event will be logged and a notification should be expected. 1. Disconnect the Central Control Unit (CCU) from power by plugging-out the power adaptor cube from the electric power (mains) socket. 2. Disconnect the power cord from the CCU: Note: The mini-USB™ socket is for the We.R™ power cord only. Do not connect other USB™ equipment to this socket.
Installation of the We.R™ System 184 We.R™ System User Guide 3. Plug the We.R™ Z-Wave® dongle’s mini-USB™ connector into the Central Control Unit’s mini-USB™ socket (now vacant from the power cord). 4. Plug the power adaptor’s cord (previously disconnected from the CCU) into the dongle’s mini-USB™ socket. 5. Plug the power adaptor cube back into the mains socket.
Installation of the We.R™ System We.R™ System User Guide 185 The CCU should be back in full-operational mode (front panel LED turns green) within about 30 seconds. This could be verified as described in paragraph 3.14.3.1 below. Note: The We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller is powered by the We.R™ Central Control Unit’s power adaptor only and will not be powered by the We.R™ CCU’s backup battery In case of mains power failure. 3.14.3.1. Verification Verification of Central Control Unit returned into its fully-operational mode is required following the installation procedure as well as the addition of the We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller reported by the system. The verification is done by activating the We.R™ Web Application software (described above in paragraph 3.3. The We.R™ Web Application) and checking for the We.R™ Z-Wave® Controller status row in the Dashboard page (see Figure 28 on page 56). 3.14.4. Activating the Z-Wave® Controller Once the Z-Wave® Controller is installed, it is time to add the definitions of the Z-Wave® remotely controlled devices to configure the system to work with them properly. The next paragraphs detail how to:  Add new Z-Wave® remotely controlled devices.  Remove previously added Z-Wave® remotely controlled devices.  Control Z-Wave® remotely controlled devices via the We.R™ system. 3.14.4.1.
