Introduction

The GreenWave Reality platform helps create a smart, energy-efficient home through the monitoring and
controlling of your appliances and electronics (referred to as “devices”). You can conserve energy with minimal
impact to your lifestyle by using our products to easily manage your devices. Simply connect our Gateway to
your GreenWave Reality energy management system, plug your devices into our PowerNodes, and then monitor
and control the devices’ power usage through a Web browser or smartphone application.

Gateway Overview

The GreenWave Reality Gateway provides the network connection for GreenWave Reality PowerNodes (our
smart outlet adapters that connect your devices to electrical outlets). This connection enables the Gateway to
securely connect the devices you have powered through PowerNodes to your energy management system and
our servers, allowing you to monitor and control your devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or
smartphone application.

The Gateway automatically connects to your PowerNodes, collecting
information on energy consumption by each connected device. Once
the PowerNodes are connected to the Gateway, you can control the
energy consumption of each connected device automatically using
GreenWave Reality Smart Controls. These user-defined Smart Controls
allow you to turn devices on or off remotely through a Web browser or
smartphone application or to set a schedule for automatically turning
your devices on or off at pre-defined times.

Installation

Before you install your Gateway, make sure that your home network is operating and connected to the Internet.

There are four basic steps to install your Gateway:

1. Connect the Gateway to your network router.

2. Power the Gateway.

3. Verify that the Gateway is connected.

4. You are ready to install GreenWave Reality PowerNodes.

5

1. Connect the Gateway to Your Network
Router

Connect the Gateway to any available port in your home network router using the included Ethernet cable.

2. Power the Gateway

Power the Gateway by plugging it into an electrical outlet using
the included power adaptor.

The Gateway illuminates while it is attempting to connect to
the Internet.

3. Verify that the Gateway is Connected

Your Gateway is connected when both the network indicator and the Internet indicator turn off, and the sync
button changes from white to green.

4. Ready to Install Your PowerNodes

The GreenWave Reality PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your devices to electrical outlets and
your GreenWave Reality energy management system. This connection allows you to monitor and control your
devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or smartphone application.

Your PowerNode has a corner wheel with colored numbers to
represent the room or device that the PowerNode is powering. Set
the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify
the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). For
example, you can set the room color to blue. Then, when you
access your account through the Web or smartphone application,
the corresponding room is identified by the same blue color as your
PowerNode.

You can set PowerNodes in different rooms to different colors to
make those rooms easy to identify when managing the power
sources on the Web or smartphone application.

To activate your PowerNode, follow the instructions that came with the PowerNode to plug in your device and
connect it to your energy management system.

Installation Tips

Review the safety information. Be sure to review the information contained in the “Safety Information” chapter

for important safety information you should follow.

Keep radio signals clear. Your Gateway and PowerNodes have antennas built-in for radio communication with
Internet services and other devices on your energy management system. Just as you might experience reception
problems on your mobile phone inside a building, your Gateway can have trouble communicating with
PowerNodes if their radio signals are blocked by obstacles such as large metal panels or walls containing wire
mesh. When placing these devices in your home, imagine invisible lines connecting between them. Try to keep
these lines clear from obstruction as much as possible. Also place your Gateway at least 5 feet (1.5 meters)
above floor level to promote reception.

Common Z-Wave Tasks

The Gateway combines various wireless technologies, such as Z-Wave and ZigBee, into a standard IP-based
mesh home network. As a Z-Wave enabled device, the Gateway is compatible with Z-Wave enabled networks
and hardware from other manufacturers.

Network Inclusion Process

Note: If your PowerNodes or other GreenWave Reality devices came as part of a package with your Gateway,
then you can skip this section since the devices in the package were already connected at the factory. This
section applies only for adding additional devices or for including a device that you previously excluded.

The process for adding a GreenWave Reality device (such as a PowerNode) to your energy management
system is called “inclusion.” It must only be performed once, and you must have the Gateway plugged in and
working first.

Steps for Network Inclusion

You can start the inclusion process by pressing and holding the Gateway sync button for two seconds so the
rotating “inclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity indicator. When this is completed, the Gateway
is ready to perform the inclusion of the other GreenWave Reality device.

If you attempt to include a GreenWave Reality device from another energy management system with an
“alien” Gateway, the inclusion will fail and the indicator bars will flash rapidly.

To complete the inclusion process on a PowerNode, you must perform the following steps (refer to the user
guide that came with your PowerNode for more information):

1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet.

2. Locate the sync button on the PowerNode. It is a small round button on the side of the device, marked
with the sync symbol.

3. Press and hold the sync button for one second until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a
clockwise-rotating pattern, which shows that the PowerNode is attempting inclusion.

4. After a few seconds, the rotating pattern should stop and all bars turn green for five seconds to indicate
successful inclusion. The PowerNode is now part of your energy management system, and you can
connect an appliance and electronic device (refer to the instructions that came with your PowerNode to
plug in your appliance or electronic device).

If the rotating pattern has stopped but all bars did not turn green for five seconds, then the PowerNode
inclusion process has failed, and you must start over.

11

To complete the inclusion process on an In-Home Display, you must perform the following steps (refer to the
user guide that came with your Display for more information):

1. Make sure you are on the JOIN NETWORK screen on the In-Home Display.

2. Press the select button on the Display to have it start the inclusion process.

3. When the Display connects successfully, the screen shows the message CONNECTED.

If the screen shows the message UNSUCCESSFUL, then the inclusion process has failed, and you
must start over.

Network Exclusion Process

Note: If the GreenWave Reality device that you are connecting to the Gateway is new and has never been used
before, then you should not need to perform the exclusion process.

A GreenWave Reality device that has been previously used with a different Z-Wave network must have its
association (homeID) with the other network removed before you can connect it to your GreenWave Reality
energy management system. This process is called “exclusion” and requires two steps: one that must be
performed with the Gateway and then one that is performed with the other GreenWave Reality device.

Steps for Network Exclusion

You can start the exclusion process through your Gateway user interface or by pressing and holding the
Gateway sync button for five seconds until the “exclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity

indicator. When this is completed, the Gateway is ready to perform the exclusion of the other GreenWave Reality
device.

To complete the exclusion process on a PowerNode, you must perform the following steps (refer to the user
guide that came with your PowerNode for more information):

1. Unplug the PowerNode from the electrical outlet.

2. Locate the sync button on the PowerNode. It is a small round button on the side of the device, marked
with the sync symbol.

3. Press and hold the sync button while plugging the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. Keep the button
pressed for five seconds until all bars turn green for five seconds, indicating that the exclusion process
has completed. Your PowerNode is now free of its former association, and you can perform an inclusion
process to include it in your GreenWave Reality energy management system (refer to the “Network
Inclusion Process” section above).

If the network indicator and power button symbol flash together slowly for five seconds, then the
exclusion process failed, and you must start over.

To complete the exclusion process on an In-Home Display, you must perform the following steps (refer to the
user guide that came with your Display for more information):

1. Make sure you are on the LEAVE NETWORK screen on the In-Home Display.

2. Press the select button on the Display to have it start the exclusion process.

3. When you are prompted to confirm, press the select button again.

4. When the Display disconnects successfully, the screen shows the message COMPLETED.

13

If the screen shows the message UNSUCCESSFUL, then the exclusion process has failed, and you
must start over.
