STEP #4 - Z-Wave Network Setup
In order to control Z-Wave devices, such as light switches, thermostats, door locks and sensors, they must be included
into a Z-Wave “network”. Follow the steps below to create your Z-Wave network and to include devices. Note: the steps

Via Z-Tool+ (requires HS3 version 3.0.0.194 and Z-Wave version 3.0.1.23)
To begin using Z-Tool+, the app must be downloaded from within your App Store. Open either the Play Store, iTunes
Store, or Windows Store and search for ‘Z-Tool+’. The search will return the app and then just click Install. Click here for
a more comprehensive guide to using Z-Tool+.
a) Z-Tool+ will automatically find your system(s). Click Select a System if you have more than one local system.
b) Select the Add or Remove action you wish you complete.
