ZigBee IO and Extender

Installation Guide

Package contents

• C4-Z2IO ZigBee IO and Extender

• Four wall mounting screws

• Four plastic dry wall anchors

• Two IR emitters

• Micro USB power supply

Requirements

• Composer Pro 2.10.0 or higher

Features

The ZigBee IO and Extender (Z2IO) is a single device that combines the features of:

• Remote relays (up to two)

• Remote contact sensors (up to four)

• Remote thermistors (two)

• Internal contact (internal magnetic reed switch)

• ZigBee (IEEE 802.15.4) extender

• ZigBee-to-IR converters

Any of these inputs can be used to trigger and control automated events—such as sending an e-mail or turning on a cabinet light when its door is opened—throughout the Control4 system.

With this device, you can extend home automation control to the most remote of locations and applications inside or outside the home, reducing the need to run control wires over long distances (or where you can’t run any wires at all).

Micro USB IR 1 IR 2

Note: Y IR cables can be used, or IR cables can be spliced together (in parallel, not in series), to increase the number of controlled devices. Be aware that these connected emitters cannot be controlled independently but will all ﬁre simultaneously from the shared IR port. Test to verify that there is no crossover code functionality between devices sharing the same IR port to avoid unwanted side eects.

As a contact and relay

The device has an internal contact along one edge that can be used to detect open or closed states when installed with a mounted magnet. Up to four contacts (besides the internal contact) or two additional relays, or a combination of the two, can be used. Each option is outlined below in “Contact and Relay Wiring Options,” and after it’s physically wired, the correct option must be set on the Properties tab as outline further below in the section “IO Options.”

As a relay

As a relay, this device provides wireless control of garage door openers, window coverings, ﬁreplaces, and pumps (along with other relay control applications) inside or outside the home. It integrates into Control4 systems as standard relays that can be opened, closed, toggled, or pulsed.

The relay enables wireless control of any device controllable by one or two low-voltage SPST relays or one simulated SPDT/ DPDT relay. These functions appear in a Control4 system as relay outputs (relays) in Composer Pro.

As ZigBee to IR

The two 3.5 mm IR ports allow you to connect up to two standard IR emitters to control any IR-controlled devices, such as TVs, DVRs, and receivers.

When connecting IR emitters, make note of which port each emitter is connected to (labeled “1” and “2”).

IR codes sent from the controller to the ZigBee IO and Extender are cached at the device, resulting in faster IR control response times.

As a contact sensor

Depending on the selected IO conﬁguration, up to four external contacts are possible. As a contact sensor, this device allows wireless monitoring of garage doors, gates, windows, mailboxes, doorbells, and pool or spa covers (along with other contact sensor monitoring applications you integrate or devise). These functions appear in a Control4 system as contact sensor inputs, which can trigger home automation events.

The internal contact is a magnetic reed switch. To use this internal contact, the Z2IO should be mounted so that the indention (along the same edge as the identify button) comes in close proximity to a mounted magnet (not included) in a fully closed state (door is closed). When the door opens, the magnetic connection is lost, and that state change is pushed to the system.

Contact and relay wiring options

There are ﬁve wiring options for contacts and relays. After they are physically wired (as explained below), the correct option must be manually selected on the Properties tab using the IO Properties drop-down box.

As a ZigBee extender

This device acts as a ZigBee mesh extender and router. It is designed to extend the ZigBee network into distant or hard-toreach areas. The Z2IO provides support for up to 32 nodes in its ZigBee routing table. This is particularly useful in providing ZigBee network extension to a large number of battery-operated, non-routing ZigBee nodes. It can also be used to improve ZigBee signal latency that can occur when ZigBee devices are installed on the fringes of a ZigBee mesh network.

Note: Range and performance varies, depending on variables such as location, building materials, furnishings, and radio interference.

For optimal results, the device should be located within 50 feet of another routing node and located in areas of the project where the mesh may be weak or non-existent. This device should not be placed next to a controller, inside a rack, or on a metal shelf. The ZigBee extender functionality is always on.

As a thermistor and humidistat

The device contains an integrated thermistor and humidistat, as well as a connection for an external thermistor, allowing it to be used almost anywhere to report environmental conditions or to inform the climate control system. The thermistor senses temperatures from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C), and the humidistat senses humidity from 5% to 90%. The device checks the temperature and humidity every ﬁve seconds. If the temperature has changed more than 0.5°F (0.28°C), the device reports the new temperature. If the humidity has changed more than 0.5%, the device reports the new humidity percentage.

Data from the integrated thermistor and humidistat is always available, regardless of the selected IO conﬁguration.

Notes:

• A value of -40° in the Remote Temperature ﬁeld could indicate either a negative temperature or that no remote thermistor is connected.

• The integrated humidistat will return a zero value after the device is rebooted until the actual humidity value can be reported.

• To display the temperature and/or humidity in Navigator, add the “Temperature Display Driver (OS 2.10+)” to the project and connect the driver’s temperature driver to the Z2IO.

• Given the variations in temperature and humidity measurements and environments, it may be necessary to independently test and verify the local and remote temperature and humidity. The properties Local Temperature Oset, Remote Temperature Oset, and Local Humidity Oset can be used for this purpose.

Installing

1 Place the device in a location which ensures the following:

• Easy access to any externally-connected wires

• ZigBee mesh networking eciency Note: Make sure the device has good ZigBee wireless

reception by (1) ensuring it is within range of another ZigBee device and (2) avoiding other electrical equipment that may cause interference with the ZigBee signal (such as cordless telephones that operate on the

2.4 GHz frequency.)

• Avoiding unnecessary exposure to extreme environmental

conditions.

IMPORTANT! Do not place the device in direct sunlight.

2 If an external thermistor is used with the device, place

it away from direct sunlight, drafts, doorways, skylights, windows, and exterior walls for best accuracy.

3 Detach the tray from the cover by inserting a ﬂat screwdriver

into the opening slot in the side of the cover and pushing in gently, while at the same time pulling the cover out and away from the tray.

Note: The two Cm (common/ground) pins are connected and can be used interchangeably.

9 Insert and tighten the mounting screws.

Note: You may optionally choose to use robust two-

sided tape to mount the tray assembly to the wall or other ﬂat surface, as long as the tape won’t prevent the back of the tray from sitting ﬂush against the mounting surface.

10 Connect the wires from the tray to the terminals in the cover,

matching the proper wires to the target terminal locations. The pin/terminal deﬁnitions are deﬁned within Composer Pro. See “Conﬁguring” on the next page. (Pins Cm and PWR are used for optional external power connections.)

Important! When using multiple external contact sensors, or when using an external contact sensor along with an external thermistor, you MUST connect each device to one of the Cm pins in addition to the appropriate sensor or thermistor pin to make a proper wiring connection. See the “Sample wiring conﬁgurations” section of this document for examples.

11 Attach the cover assembly to the tray:

a Align the side of the cover with the side of the tray,

engaging the plastic tabs with the corresponding holes.

b Rock the cover into place, snapping it to the tray.

c Press ﬁrmly on the bottom center edge of the cover to

snap and lock it to the tray assembly.

a. Align the cover edge’s two latching tabs with corresponding tab receivers on the tray’s edge.

b. Close the cover by rocking it toward the other end of the tray.

c. Press ﬁrmly on the center edge of the cover until it snaps and locks into place with the tray.

12 For ZigBee to IR, connect any IR emitters to the two IR

ports, then ax the emitter head to the IR window on the device to control (such as a TV).

Connecting alternate DC power

Although a power adapter is included, you may elect to instead connect an alternate 5-24V DC or AC power source to pins CmPWR. Connect DC positive polarity to pin PWR, and negative to pin Cm.

Conﬁguring

Connections

Static connections

Some connections in the driver are static in that they are always available regardless of any settings/options. These include the two IR connections, IR Output 1 and IR Output 2, and the internal contact.

Dynamic connections

Other connections in the driver are dynamic in that the connections will appear based on certain options—in particular, the IO Options property. If you change to another

IO option, any connections created in the original IO option will be broken.

To conﬁgure your device:

1 Add the device to your Composer Pro project. When

prompted to identify the device, press the ID button on the face of the cover four times. The green LED blinks twice to conﬁrm the ID has been sent to the Control4 system.

- OR -

In Composer Express, add a device into the project, scan for ZigBee devices, then press the ID button on the face of the cover four times.

2 In the driver’s Properties tab, view or conﬁgure the settings

explained below under “Properties,” then click Set to the right of the setting after each change.

3 Conﬁgure each relay’s power up state. This is the state you

want the relay to adopt after a device reboot. For example, after a power outage (resulting in a device reboot), you may want the garage door to default to closed, the window coverings to be restored to their last known state, and the ﬁreplace to be turned o.

Tip: Two SPST relays can optionally be linked to simulate a single SPDT relay. However, unlike a true SPDT relay, both relays will open during a power failure.

4 Add generic contact drivers (such as Door Contact Sensor,

Gate, and Motion Sensor) and relay drivers (such as Blinds, Door Lock, and Pump) in System Design view, then connect

the generic driver to the appropriate connection on the C4Z2IO device in Connections view.

5 For programming, use these events:

• Online: Triggers when the device comes online.

• Oine: Triggers when the device goes oine.

• Reboot: Triggers when the device reboots.

Properties

General properties

• Log Level: Standard for most drivers, this property allows you to ﬁlter which message types display in the Lua Output window. Options 0 - 5 correspond to Fatal through Trace levels, increasing in level of verbosity. Options are 0=Fatal, 1=Error, 2=Warning, 3=Info, 4=Debug, and 5=Trace. Default is 1 - Error.

• Log Mode: Activates logging of diagnostic information. The log level is set in the above property. Options include

O, Print (to the window), Log (to the Director Log), and Print and Log (both). Default is O.

• Driver Version: (Read only) Shows the version number of the driver currently in use.

• Device Status: (Read only) Shows the current status of the product, whether online or oine. However, in some cases, the device may not report its status immediately, such as when the device is rebooting.

• Firmware Version: (Read only) Shows the version number of the ﬁrmware currently in use on the device. The ﬁrmware will be updated automatically over the air when the Control4 OS is updated and when that update includes a new ﬁrmware version for this device.

• Bootloader Version: (Read only) Shows the version number of the ﬁrmware currently in use on the device. The bootloader can only be updated by Control4, so this property is for support/diagnostic information only.

• LED Mode: Determines the behavior of the LED light on the top/front of the product. Options include O, ZigBee (which shows the ZigBee status; see “Identiﬁcation and Button Presses” below), and IR (which shows activity when IR signals are sent to the IR ports). Default is O. When the property is set to O, button presses should still temporarily prompt the LED to show the status.

Humidity prperties

• Local Humidity: (Read only) Shows the relative humidity measured where the device is located. The value is shown as a percentage.

• Local Humidity Oset: The humidity sensor provides accuracy of +/- 4% relative humidity. Adjusting the Local Humidity Oset can result in increased inaccuracy of relative humidity reporting without using humidity calibration equipment for validation.

Temperature and humidity properties

• Temperature Scale: Sets which scale is used to calculate the temperature used in the Local and Remote Temperature properties described below, and aects only the Properties tab’s settings. Options include Fahrenheit and Celsius. Default is Fahrenheit.

• Local Temperature: (Read only) Shows the most recent reported temperature recorded by the internal thermistor. The scale of the temperature is determined by the Temperature Scale property.

• Local Temperature Oset—Modiﬁes the reported local temperature to account for environmental variances. The temperature can be changed downward or upward by a maximum of 20 degrees. The default is 0 (no correction).

• Remote Temperature: (Read only) Shows the most recent reported temperature recorded by the remote thermistor. The scale of the temperature is determined by the Temperature Scale property.

• Remote Temperature Oset—Modiﬁes the reported remote temperature (the temperature recorded by an external thermistor) to account for environmental variances. (When multiple temperature sensors are located in the same room, you may notice each sensor shows a slightly dierent reading. This results from normal manufacturing variances in temperature sensors and the device’s position/location in the room.) The temperature can be changed downward or upward by a maximum of 20 degrees. The default is 0 (no correction).

IO properties

• IO Options: Tells the device how its eight conﬁguration pins are assigned. The selected option is retained even after a system reboot or update.

• Relay 1 Power Up State and Relay 2 Power Up State: (Read only) Represents the status of the relays if IO Option 1, 3, 4, or 5 is selected. The options are Restore Last State, Set To OPEN, and Set To CLOSED. The default is Restore Last State.

• Relay 1 Status and Relay 2 Status: (Read only) Represents the status of the relays if IO Option 1, 3, 4, or 5 is selected.

Actions tab

Buttons located on the Actions tab allow you to view version and diagnostic information and force relay actions. (Relay actions will always be shown, regardless of the IO conﬁguration.)

• Version Information: This action button will display the versions of the driver’s Base Template and Template, as well as the Boot Loader to the Lua Output window of the Lua tab. The Log Mode property does not have to be set to Print to display this information to the window.

• Diagnostic Information: This action button will display the following information to the Lua Output window of the Lua tab (the Log Mode property does not have to be set to Print to display this information to the window): device ZigBee MAC address, ZigBee mesh PAN id, Template Version, Base Template Version, Boot Loader Version, ZigBee Node ID.

• Relay 1 Close and Relay 2 Close: These action buttons will trigger the corresponding relay to close.

• Relay 1 Open and Relay 2 Open: These action buttons will trigger the corresponding relay to open.

Troubleshooting

If the device is not working:

• Reboot the device by disconnecting power, then reconnecting power.

• Check for proper wiring. See the “Wiring Conﬁguration” diagrams.

• Review the log in the driver’s Lua tab.

• Restore factory defaults (13 button presses).

Note: Un-identifying a device o the ZigBee mesh will cause it to do a factory reset. A factory reset reverts all relays to the open state, and the settings for Power Up State will revert to Restore Last State. The settings are preserved, however, after a power cycle or reboot.
