Quick Start

This device is a control center (gateway) for Z-Wave home automation networks. It is used to control different single devices as well as complete defined scenes and actions combining device functions within the network. It needs only a few steps to get your Z-box up and running.

1. Power it up by plugging in the external power supply

2. Connect the z-box to your local router using a standard Ethernet cable

3. Use a web browser on your desktop PC or mobile internet device and go to login page .Input the IP address into the address bar, press ENTER to enter the login page.（IP address：192.168.10.1）

Hardware

The Z-Box is a small but powerful hardware offering various interfaces:

• Power Input: The device is powered by AC adapter DC9V 1.3A.

• Ethernet: The device can be connected to any standard 10/100 MBit/s Ethernet router

• 3*USB(2insidethechamberand1external):The3USBportsallowtoconnectadditionalcommunication

or storage options such as an EnOcean dongle, Bluetooth dongle, hard disk or any other USB device suitable for Z-box.

Installation

• Connect to Router

Using the LAN cable connect the Z-box to your router.

Note-If a connection through the router is not available, there is an refer to the Dome App for step-by-step instructions when installation is complete.

• Connect to Power

Using the cord provided, connect the Z-box to an electrical wall outlet.

Installing Batteries (optional)

The Z-box uses 4 Ni-MH AA Rechargeable batteries (not included) which allow the system to continue operation for up to 6 hours (depend on battery capacity and application) when the power is out. We recom mend use 2400mA Z-Box provide trickle charge to recharge battery which is the safe st charging technique, it takes approx. 48 hours to fully recharge 4 x 2400mA Ni-MH rechargeable batteries – please DON’T MIX different capacity/brand/age of batteries.

To install the batteries, pry open the lid of the Z-box at the notch in the back just above the cable ports.

LED Behavior

Defaulting Network Settings

To reset the Network to the default settings, press and hold the Main button (on top of the Z-box) for 10 seconds. Release the button when the LED quickly flashes red indicating reset. Refer to the Dome App to reconnect the Z-box.

presets.

To revert to the Factory default settings, press and hold the Reset button (inside the Z-box) for 10 seconds. Release the button when the Status LED quickly flashes red indicating reset.

Smart Home User Interface

Your smart home can be controlled from different user interface. The design of the interface will adapt to the various screens of PC, pads or mobile phones.

This interface allows managing your smart home equipped with interconnected Z-Wave devices. It will show every function of the device as one single Element (In case a physical device has multiple functions – like switching and metering – it will generate multiple elements). All elem ents are listed in the Element View and can be filtered by function type (switch, dimmer, sensor) or other filtering criteria. Important elements can be placed in the Dashboard. Additionally the elements can be grouped into rooms. Every change of a sensor value or a switching status is called an event and is shown in the Timeline. Filtering allows monitoring the changes of one single function or device.

Functions of the User Interface

General

Thegreentimeontheheadershowsthetimeofthelastcommunicationtothesmarthomegateway.Incase communication gets lost, a red sign is shown.

Different users (login/password) have different dashboards and settings. Apps and tags are activated for all users. Admin privilege is to setup new users, install/configure/delete apps and assigning access rights of rooms to users

Elements

Clicking into the element may show more control options (like for dimmers or motor control). Switching a switch will immediately result in showing the new state but in greyed. Once the wireless network reconfirms the n ew state of the switch, the new switching status is shown using the real color icon.

The Element Configuration allows assigning user-defined tags to differen t elements. This allows further grouping or filtering. It is even possible to use tags inside apps to auto-select certain elements. The time shown in certain elements refers to the time where value was read from the sensor. You can change this by configuring the app “Sensor Polling”.

Some physica l Z-Wave devices are quite complex generating a lot of functions. You may want to delete certain elements from the element view. This can be done on the elements configuration with the checkbox “Permanently delete”. If you accidently deleted an element you need to go to Setup  Z-Wave Network, Tab Network and click on the physical device that generated the very element. Here you can hide/unhide every element.

Timeline

Some elements may create a lot of events regardless of their possible pollin g. If you don’t want them to flood you r timeline disable all events from this device using the element‘s configuration dialog. In your personal settings you can define if new elements shall generate events or not. This setting can be changed as well.

Devices

You can include all certified Z-Wave devices. If you can’t find y our device in the list of known devices please use the Autodetect function. It will create the same result but you need to find out from the device manual how to add (include) the device to the network.

To use EnOcean devices a specia l EnOcean transmitter USB stick needs to be attached to the Z-box. Furthermore the EnOcean module needs to be activated. Please note that only a selection of EnOcean devices are supported by the EnOcean module. You can browse through the list of supported EnOcean devices.

Z-Wave Network

This menu option allows a deeper look into the Z-Wave network. The tab devices and the elements controlled by them. A configuration button allows changing the names and room assignment of all element. At the end of this dialog a button specific configuration dialog. Some Z-Wave devices offer such configurations to adapt their functions. Not having this configuration option is n ot a malfunction!

The tab the Z- Way Expert User Interface. Please note that this Expert User Interface is for Z-Wave experts. The Razberry documentation and user forums will provide help for its use if needed. Direct access to the ZWave Expert User Interface is always possible using http:/ /ip:8083/expert/

My Settings

This menu allows the usual user settings (color, languages, preferences). For users with admin privileges this dialog also controls the essential access credentials for the remote access using find.z-wave.me.

User Management

This menu item is only available for users with admin privileges. The Z-Box Z-box is powered by Z-Way, the famous Z-Wave control software of Z-Wave.Me that is also powering famous projects such as Razberry (razber r y .zwave.me: This means that all apps, workar ounds, tricks and How Tos provided and describes for the Razberry project – e.g. on http://forum.z-wave.me/ – can be used and applied for the Z-box too.
