Adding a Controller

to the network

Use the following procedure to add secondary controllers to a network where ThinkEssentials® is the primary controller.

Adding another controller to your network as a secondary controller is similar to the procedure “Adding modules to the Network” (see page 8-9), but put the target controller into JOIN NETWORK, RECEIVE CONFIGURATION, or REPLICATION RECEIVE mode.

1.From the Design tab, press the ADD DEVICE button. A message window will ask you to press the button on the device to add.

2.Place the secondary controller into RECEIVE REPLICATION or COPY

FROM mode. (Please see the User Manual or Instruction Manual for the specific Z-Wave®controller being programmed for detailed programming information.)

If the operation is successful, a message window will appear stating that the device has been successfully added. Repeat this procedure if a message window states that the module failed to be included. There is NO icon for a secondary controller.

NOTE: For your security, the USB Z-Wave®Adapter must be within 3 feet of the controller to be added.

NOTE: The process of adding a controller to a Z-Wave®network is often referred to as SEND CONFIGURATION or REPLICATION SEND mode. The overall process is often called CONTROLLER REPLICATION.

Press ADD DEVICE to add a secondary controller.
