Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order
to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and
store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life
time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the
mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a
static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the
desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: A double click on the Z-Wave button wakes up the device.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Firmware-Update over the Air
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller
starts the update process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update: Once the firmware update process has been started on the
controller wakeup the device with a double click. The device will check the firmware request. When accepted the LED will blink to await confirmation on the
device. Double click on the button to finally start firmware update.
Association - one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a
different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups
and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective
association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Association Groups:
Group Number
Maximum
Nodes
Description
1 10 Z-Wave Plus Lifeline
2 10 Switching Command. All devices in this group will receive a BASIC SET command on Smoke Alarms.
Configuration parameter 3 and 4 will define the BASIC command sent.
Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock
further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in the range 128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be
the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two byte
value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
Parameter 3: Value of ON-Command
This value is sent as BASIC Set to Association Group 2 when an Smoke Alarm occurs.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 99
Setting Description
0 - 99 Value
255 Value
Parameter 4: Value of Off-Command
This value is sent as BASIC Set to Association Group 2 when an Smoke Alarm is cleared.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 99
Setting Description
0 - 99 Value
255 Value
