Aeon Labs Minimote

(Z-Wave Remote Controller)

Introduction:

The Minimote is a fully functional Z-Wave remote control capable of adding, removing and
controlling other Z-Wave devices. Advanced functions include automatic rediscovery of the Z­Wave network and becoming a secondary or inclusion controller to a SIS gateway in the Z­Wave network. Direct communication range is 100ft. indoors and 300ft. outdoors.

Network setup buttons (such as adding and removing Z-Wave products to the network) are
located underneath the bottom-slide door while Z-Wave scene control buttons are easily
available to the user on the top of the remote controller.

The Minimote is also device firmware upgradable in field. The Z-Wave protocol can always
have the latest Z-Wave capabilities.

By taking advantage of the Z-Wave mesh network, commands can be routed to their
destination via intermediary “listening” Z-Wave products. Products that are Z-Wave certified
can be used and communicate with other Z-Wave certified devices.
