Z-Wave Terminology

Primary Controller: This is the main device used to set up and control your Z-Wave network. There can only be one primary controller and it must be used to add or delete devices. A primary controller can be a portable device like a hand-held remote, a static controller (permanently installed & never moved), or

a Z-Wave enabled PC.

Secondary Controller: The Z-Wave network supports multiple controllers so the consumer can use additional Z-Wave remotes throughout the home. If the secondary controller is the same brand and model as the primary, it will have all of the same capa- bilities as the primary with one exception; the secondary controller can not be used to add or delete devices.

Home Control Network: Your controllers and every Z-Wave device you have added with the primary controller are linked together into a wireless network. Each device in your network has a unique address assigned to it and cannot be activated by your neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.

Light/Node/Device: Node is the technical term used to describe a Z-Wave device in your home control network. Please note that the terms “Node”, “Device” and “Light” all refer to an individual Z-Wave enabled device and are interchangeable.

Group: Multiple Z-Wave devices can be turned ON or OFF with a single command when they are placed into a Group. One example would be grouping your porch light, exterior garage lights and patio lights together so that they could all be turned ON if you hear a strange sound in the middle of the night.

Scene: A scene lets you establish preset brightness levels for multiple Z-Wave controlled lights and then control them with one command. This is ideal for mood or task lighting. Scene 1 could be the family room lights set to dim for watching TV. Scene 2 could have the same lights set to a different brightness level for other activities like reading or entertaining.

Event: An event is something you want to happen at a specific time and day. This could be everyday, a specific day of the week, Monday through Friday, Saturday & Sunday only, or a one time oc- currence. Events can be set up to control an individual device,

a group or a scene.
