nodon OCTAN User manual

The NodOn®Octan remote can be added and operated in any Z-Wave®network
with other Z-Wave® certied devices from other manufacturers and/or other
applications.
All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability
of the network.
It has 2 distinctive working modes:
1. «STANDALONE» MODE
The Octan remote can control Z-Wave® compatible devices directly, such as the
NodOn® Smart Plug or a light dimmer, whoever is the manufacturer.
Note: No home automation gateway is involved and necessary in this mode.
2. «GATEWAY» MODE
The Octan remote is in “Gateway” Mode as soon as it is added in a Z-Wave®
network managed by a home automation gateway. The remote control becomes
then the gateway’s assistant, capable to launch up to 16 different scenes through it
(SCENE Prole) or directly associated to your Z-Wave® compatible devices (MONO
or DUO Prole).
WALL SUPPORT
A magnetic wall support is included with your Octan Remote. This support can be
screwed (screws not included) or xed by adhesive bonding (included).
The remote control embeds a small magnet, allowing xing it on its wall support
or on any metallic surface (fridge door, heater, etc.).
USAGE
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The Octan remote operates using a CR2032 coin cell battery (included).
To replace the battery, slide slowly the battery cover, located on the backside of the
remote.
Before the rst use, take care of removing the battery protector, after opening the
battery cover.
Careful : In order to save as much as possible the battery life time, avoid long learning process, and place the remote
control as close as possible to the device you want to associate.
OCTAN REMOTE INTERFACE
The remote control has 4 buttons and one LED located at the center of the product.
BATTERY LEVEL
In order to know the battery level, a simultaneous short press on Iand P must
be performed. The LED will display the battery level according to below table:
LED state Battery level
Green Under 50%
Orange Between 50 and 20%
Red Below 20%
FACTORY RESET
A factory reset will completely delete the memory of the remote control and
restore all the parameters to default value.
A simultaneous long press (1sec) on Oand M will perform this factory reset.
The LED will blink red and green to validate the reset
Careful : In “Standalone” Mode, make sure to remove all the devices added or associated in the remote control’s
network before performing a factory reset.
In “Gateway” Mode, use the factory reset procedure only when the Primary
Controller (i.e. the gateway) is missing or defective. Reset the remote control
does not mean that it has been removed from the Primary Controller memory.
Remove the remote controller (through the Primary Controller) before performing
a factory reset.
« STANDALONE » MODE
By default, the Octan remote is in “Standalone” Mode. It means it can control
compatible Z-Wave® devices without involving the gateway. The Octan remote acts
as the Primary Controller of the network.
While the remote control is in “Standalone” Mode, you can:
•Control one or several devices (up to 8) with only 1 button: MONO Prole.
•Control one or several devices (up to 8) with 2 buttons: DUO Prole.
Careful : You must not unplug a Z-Wave® device denitely without removing it from the remote control’s Z-Wave®
network rst (See the “Exclusion” part below). This can have a serious impact on the battery lifetime.
ASSOCIATION
Careful : Before associating a device which was not recently bought, please perform an ”EXCLUSION” rst. Please
refer to the “Exclusion” section below.
Association is performed in 3 steps:
1Push 3 times (quickly) on the I button to activate the “Association” Mode.
The LED glows in blue
2Choose which button will control your device, within 10 seconds.
• A short press on one of the buttons of the remote control (I, O, Por
M) will activate the MONO Prole. The pressed button will then control
your device.
• A long press on the I button will activate the DUO Prole, combined
with the O button. The I (ON) and O (OFF) buttons will then control
your device.
• A long press on the P button will activate the DUO prole, combined
with the M button. The P (ON) and M (OFF) buttons will then control
your device.
The LED blinks in blue to confirm your choice
3Place the device you want to associate in “Learning” Mode, within 10 seconds.
To do so, please refer to your device’s user guide.
The LED of the remote control blinks green to confirm the association process
Careful : In case of a too long association process or others problems during the process, the LED will blink red.
Please restart the procedure.
Once the association is validated, your remote control is able to control your
device. Different actions are possible.
1. MONO PROFILE
This prole allows controlling your associated device(s) using just a single button
of the Octan remote.
A short press on I, O, Por M (depending on your choice during association
process) will activate (ON) your associated device(s), a second short press will
deactivate (OFF) your associated device(s).
If your device has dimming features (light dimmer, roller shutter, etc.):
• A long press on the I, O, Por M (depending on your choice during
association process) will dim up your associated device (light, roller
shutter, etc.) until you release the button.
• A second long press on the same button will dim down your associated
device (light, roller shutter, etc.) until you release the button.
2. DUO PROFILE
This prole allows controlling your associated device(s) with two mutual buttons.
• A short press on I(or P depending on your combination choice during
association process) will activate (ON) your associated device(s).
• A short press on O(or M depending on your combination choice during
association process) will deactivate (OFF) your associated device(s).
If your associated device(s) has dimming features (light dimmer, roller shutter, etc.):
• A long press on I(or P depending on your combination choice during
association process) will dim up your associated device (light, roller
shutter, etc.) until you release the button.
• A long press on O(or M depending on your combination choice during
association process) will dim down your associated device (light, roller
shutter, etc.) until you release the button.
Carful : It is not possible to cumulate a MONO and DUO prole on the same button.
Repeat the association process as many times as you want to associate a new
device.
DISASSOCIATION
The disassociation deletes any association relationship between the device and
the remote control’s buttons. However, your device will remain in your remote
control’s Z-Wave® network.
1Push 3 times (quickly) on the P button.
The LED blinks in blue
2Place the device you want to disassociate in “Learning” Mode, within 10
seconds. To do so, please refer to your device’s user guide.

« GATEWAY» MODE
When the Octan remote is in “Gateway” Mode, it only communicates with the home
automation gateway, in order to launch scenes when the buttons are pressed.
However, if your home automation gateway does not support scenes features, it
is still possible to create direct association between the remote control and the
compatible devices you want to control, through conguration parameters and
association groups.
Nonetheless, if supported, it is strongly advised to use scenes, in order to enjoy the
best experience and increase the battery lifetime.
In order to put your remote control into “Gateway” Mode, you just have to add the
remote control into the gateway’s Z-Wave® network. Procedure as following:
1Place your home automation gateway into “Inclusion” Mode. To do so, please
refer to your gateway’s user guide.
2Simultaneously push on Iand P, during 1sec.
The LED glows in pink to confirm the selection
3Push on I, within 10 seconds.
The LED blinks in pink to confirm your choice
The LED blinks in green to confirm the procedure
Warning : If your remote control added some devices in “Standalone” Mode, these devices will remain orphans.
Make sure you remove (or reset) all devices previously added or associated into the remote control’s network, before
placing the remote control in “Gateway” Mode.
If your home automation gateway supports the “ Controller shift” feature, you can
recover the existing remote control’s network (while it is in “Standalone” Mode)
when you pass into “Gateway” Mode.
Your home automation gateway will be added into the remote control’s network,
and set as the main controller. All the information related to the added devices
will be automatically copied to the home automation gateway during this process.
However, all existing association between the remote control and devices will be
lost, and would need to be set-up again, using your home automation gateway
interface.
The existing network of the gateway will be lost as well.
The procedure is as following:
1Place your home automation gateway into “Learning” Mode. To do so, please
refer to your gateway’s user guide.

press the different buttons. To do so, please refer to your gateway’s user guide.
The different actions that can be handled by the remote control are:
• Simple press (on I, O, Por M)
• Double press (on I, O, Por M)
• Long press (on I, O, Por M)
• Button released (on I, O, Por M)
Which makes a total of 16 different actions.
It is strongly advised to use this prole if supported by your gateway.
However, if your home automation gateway does not support these features, you
can still use association groups and set-up your buttons as
• MONO Prole, to control the corresponding group or activate the
Z-Wave® « All Switch ON » or « All Switch OFF » features.
• DUO Prole, to control the corresponding groups.
