INTRODUC TION
This document describes Z-Wave Smart Home controller functionality built-in into Dune HD Solo 4K and Dune HD Duo
4K media players.
The Z-Wave Smart Home controller allows management of Z-Wave network and Z-Wave devices in this network, and
additionally provides high-level Home Automation functionality (scripting etc).
The Z-Wave Smart Home controller functionality can be accessed via the Web UI, which can be opened in a browser
on a PC, and also via iOS and Android applications. For custom integrations, HTTP / JavaScript API is available.
The Z-Wave Smart Home controller is based on Z-Way software stack from Z-Wave.Me. For more information about Z-
Way software stack and its features, please see:
Z-Wave.Me web site: http://www.z-wave.me
Z-Wave.Me forum: https://forum.z-wave.me

Z-WAVE PRODUCT I N FORMATION
This device is a Z-Wave static controller.
As a certified Z-Wave Plus device it can communicate with all other Z-Wave certified devices regardless of vendor or
year of origin and it implements the enhanced functions of Z-Wave Plus.
This device can communicate in a secure environment if the other device supports the secure environment too. If not
the controller will fall back to the normal communication mode automatically. During inclusion the use of secure
environment can be suppressed for performance reason if desired.
In Z-Wave all non-battery powered device will act as routers for other devices to form a so-called meshed network.
In case there is more than one controller in the network the controllers need to be kept synchronous in regard to their
knowledge of the network. This is called Controller Replication and the following policy applies: (a) in case there is a
SIS in the network every other controllers will query the SIS for updates; (b) In the rare case that there is no SIS and
this device is Primary Controller please re-include other controllers to perform a network information update.
The device supports the command classes ‘SwitchMultilevel’, ‘SwitchBinary’ and ‘Basic’ to catch events from devices
using these command classes to trigger actions in the controller. There is no other action performed than changing
values in the device data objects.
The device supports lifeline (association group 1, max 3 nodes) and 16 channels (simulating a generic Multilevel
Switch) to differentiate receiving commands from devices not able to send modern scene control commands. The
channels support the 3 same command classes (Basic, SwitchBinary, SwitchMultilevel and Scene Activation) that do
not perform any real action but allow command reception only.

GETTING STARTED
To start using Z-Wave Smart Home controller built-in in the Dune box, perform the following steps:
1. Ensure the following cables are connected to the Dune box:
a. Ethernet cable –to connect to the local Ethernet network. Wi-Fi connection can also be used, but
Ethernet connection is recommended for more stable operation.
b. A/V (e.g. HDMI) cable –to connect to a TV. If you want to use the Dune box just as a Z-Wave Smart
Home controller (w/o connection to a TV at all), this can be omitted.
2. Ensure the power cable is connected to the Dune box and ensure that the ON/OFF hardware switch at the
rear panel is in ON state.
3. Determine the IP address of the Dune box.
If the Dune box is configured to obtain IP address automatically via DHCP (which is the default
setting), you can determine the IP address via the Web UI of your home router.
If the Dune box is connected to a TV and the TV is switched on, you can see the IP address in “Setup
/ Information” menu on the TV.
4. Open the following URL in a web browser on PC:
http://IP-address:8083
NOTE: Some version of Internet Explorer web browser may not work. Latest versions of Chrome web
browser are well tested and recommended.
5. Log in as “admin” user. The Dune box may be preconfigured to expect one of the following initial passwords,
find the one which works on your box:
“admin”
“123456”
6. The system may ask you to change the password.
7. Finally, you will get into the Web UI of the Z-Wave Smart Home controller.
HOME A UTOMATION UI AND EXPERT UI
The Web UI of the Z-Wave Smart Home Controller has two parts: the Home Automation UI and the Expert UI.
When you log in into the Web UI, you get into the Home Automation UI.
The Home Automation UI:
Provides a subset of Z-Wave related functionality (most typically used functions).
Provides high-level Home Automation functionality (applications, rooms, scripting etc).
Is available via the following URL:
ohttp://IP-address:8083
The Expert UI:
Provides full access to low-level Z-Wave related functionality.
Is available via the following URL:
ohttp://IP-address:8083/expert
Can also be reached via the Home Automation UI in the following way:
oClick the “Settings” icon at the top right corner of the screen, choose “Devices” item, click “Manage
with Expert UI” button.

HOME AUTOMAT I ON UI
The Home Automation UI is intended for typical everyday Home Automation tasks, for high-level Smart Home
configuration, and provides only basic operations for Z-Wave network configuration and administration. For advanced
Z-Wave configuration, please use the Expert UI.
When you log in into the Web UI (using the URL http://IP-address:8083), you get into the Home Automation UI.
The top menu bar has the following icons:
“Home”: opens the Dashboard screen, which shows the UI elements (corresponding to Z-Wave devices and
other objects) configured to be shown on the dashboard for easy access.
“Rooms”: opens the Rooms screen, which shows the configured rooms.
“Elements”: opens the Elements screen, which shows all the available Elements (UI blocks corresponding to
configured Z-Wave devices and other objects).
“Events”: opens the Events screen, which shows the log of system events.
The “Settings” icon at the top right corner of the screen shows the “Settings” menu:
The “Settings” menu has the following items:
“Apps”: install and configure Home Automation applications.
“Devices”: configure Z-Wave devices and IP cameras.
“Rooms”: configure Rooms.
“My settings”: configure UI and account settings.
“Management”: system configuration.
“Logout”: log out from the Web UI.

HOME AUTOMATION UI: CONCEPTS AND FEATURES
The Home Automation UI uses the following concepts and provides the following features.
Z-WAVE DEVICE: HARDWARE Z-WAVE DEVICE INCLUDED INTO YOUR Z-WAVE NETWORK
You can add (include) and remove (exclude) Z-Wave Devices from your Z-Wave network controlled by the Z-
Wave Smart Home controller.
For each Z-Wave Device, the system may generate one or several Elements (UI blocks to work with some
aspect of the Z-Wave Device).
ELEMENT: A UI BLOCK TO WORK WITH SOME ASPECT OF A VIRTUAL OR PHYSICAL OBJECT
Elements are generated by the system automatically when you add Z-Wave devices or create instances of
Applications.
Each Z-Wave Device added to the system typically generates one or several Elements.
Many Applications typically create virtual objects and generate the corresponding Elements.
Elements are automatically deleted when the corresponding object which generated them is deleted.
You cannot manually delete Elements, but you can completely hide any Element if do not need it.
Elements can be added to Rooms and the Dashboard.
ROOM: A GROUP OF ELEMENTS
You can define as many Rooms as you need.
You can add/remove Elements to Rooms.
One Element may be added only to one Room.
There is one special Room called “No Room” which groups all Elements not added to any Room.
DASHB OARD: THE “HOME” SCREEN LISTING THE MOST IMPORTANT ELEMENTS
You can add/remove Elements to the Dashboard.
APPLICATION : A BUILDING BLOCK TO ADD LOGIC OR SPECIAL FEATURES
An Application is a ready-to-use script / template which can add extra logic and functionality to your Smart
Home setup, such as logic rules like “If-Then”, timers, interaction with external (non Z-Wave) systems, etc.
Some Applications are built-in into the system, and more can be installed from the App Store.
New Applications can be easily created by 3-parties: the Application is coded in JavaScript language using the
provided JavaScript API.
To use an Application, you create an instance of the Application, and configure the properties of this
Application instance (e.g. specify the Z-Wave devices to act on, specify the parameters, etc).
You can create many instance of the same Application.
