Home Control Basics
Z-Wave® certified products will allow you to easily control multiple devices in a home with the push of a button in what is known as a “scene”. Turning on your home’s interior lights and activating the set-back on your thermostat from your in-vehicle remote as you come home is an example of a scene. Dimming the lights and automatically closing your curtains to watch TV with a single push of a button is another example of a scene.
To begin using Z-Wave®Home Control technology it is helpful to understand that each Z-Wave®module, including the Z-Wave®Enabled 3-Way 600W In-Wall Dimmer Switch, communicate with each other using a low power radio transmitter and receiver. Large metal objects, house wiring, walls, furniture, refrigerators, microwaves and similar items can interfere with communication between the modules to reduce the range or even prevent communication. Placement of the Z-Wave®Enabled 3-Way 600W In-Wall Dimmer Switch and other Z-Wave®modules is very important to obtain a reliable network.
A Z-Wave®network is a collection of Z-Wave®modules in a mesh type of network. Each Z-Wave®module, regardless of manufacturer, communicates with other modules within range to route and repeat the signals from one device to the next, this creates a highly reliable and robust transmission throughout the home. In addition, the network becomes stronger as more modules are added.
A Z-Wave®network can have only one primary controller. The primary controller establishes network security to ensure your network will not operate a neighbors network and vice-versa. It is a good practice to label and protect your primary controller since it is the only Z-Wave®controller that can add modules to or remove modules from your network. It is easy to add secondary controllers as your network grows. Your Z-Wave®Enabled 3-Way 600W In- Wall Dimmer Switch can belong to only one network, and therefore only one primary controller, but it can be added to as many secondary controllers or Z-Wave®“scenes” as you wish for added convenience.
