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: Push the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. The LED blinks once indicating that Z-Weather is alive.
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
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 5 Lifeline.
2 5 Too windy If the threshold value for wind (Default value: 6m/s ) is exceeded, the basic set is sent to
all group members.
3 5 It is getting bright.Sends BASIC SET command in the morning when brightness reached trigger
level (Default value: 37%)
4 5 It is getting dark.Sends BASIC SET command in the evening when brightness reached trigger
level (Default value: 37%)
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 1: Threshold for too much wind
Crossing this value on the rising edge, Z-Weather sends a basic set to the associated groups, serves the lifeline and sends a wake up notification.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 6
Setting Description
0 - 30 m/s
Parameter 2: Threshold for twilight
This parameter sets the trigger level for twilight to control devices inassociation group 3 und 4
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 37
Setting Description
0 - 100 %
