Quick Start
1. Connect the HUB to your local network using Ethernet cable.
2. Power up the controller. After up to 2 minutes the HUB is ready to use and the white
LED will breathe normal. Now you can connect your computer or mobile device to
the new WIFI Popp-xxxx (xxxx=last 4 digits of MAC address displayed on device label,
WIFI-password on label too). Attention: For security reasons the initial configuration is
available via WIFI only. Later on you have more options.
3. Point your browser to http://192.168.1.1.If you use a mobile device install and start
the Popp HUB app (Use the QR code on page 4).
4. The welcome screen displays your unique device ID. Remember it for remote access!
Define your access password for the default login name ‘admin’ and your email for
password recovery.
5. In case there is a firmware update you will see a message screen. Please confirm and
update the firmware. Make sure not to un-power the device during the firmware update.
6. Now you can access your controller from outside your home too using the service
find.popp.me. Use DEVICE_ID/LOGIN (e.g. 12345/admin) and your password.
7. Start adding Z-Wave devices and apps and have fun. To add your first Z-Wave device,
go to Configuration Devices Z-Wave Add New and follow the instructions.
The Popp HUB can be placed on the table or mounted on the wall using
the mounting plate attached to the enclosure. It runs stand-alone (no
connection to the outer world or to any other network) and connected to
the Internet. In this case the device acts as WIFI router too.
More information, including the full manual and training videos can be
found in the support section of www.popp.eu or at www.z-wave.info.
The support community forum.z-wave.me may help as well.
The User Interface
The user interface looks similar
on different devices such as
desktop pc, smartphone or tablet
pc (both native app and browser)
but it will adapt to the screen
sizes. It allows controlling devices
and read sensor status. Every
function of any device is shown as
one single Element (In case a
physical device has multiple
functions – like switching and
metering – it will generate multiple
elements). All elements are listed
in the Elements view and can be
filtered by function type (switch,
dimmer, sensor) or other filtering
criteria. Every element offers a
configuration interface for
changing names, remove it from
the screens etc.
User Interface:
Dashboard (1), Rooms (2), Elements (3), Events/Timeline (4), System Time (5),
Configuration Menu (6), Elements (7), Element Configuration (8)

Important elements can be placed in the Dashboard. Every change of a sensor value or a switching
status is called an Event and is shown in the Timeline. Filtering allows monitoring the changes of
one single function or device. Besides elements can be assigned to different Rooms.
All other functions such as time triggered actions, the use of information from the internet, scenes
plugin of other technologies and service are realized in Apps. These apps are ready-to-use
scripts/templates that can add extra logic and functionality such as logic rules like “IFTHEN”,
scene definitions, timers, interactions with external (non Z-Wave) devices connected via USB
dongle or via internet etc. Some apps are built-in into the system. More can be downloaded from
an app store. To use an app, you create an instance of this app and configure its properties. If
useful you can create more than one instances of one single app. The apps can create none, one
or multiple new elements and events. You can install new apps and manage them using the menu
Configuration Apps.
LEDs and Buttons
The HUB provides multiple LEDs:
•3 green Status LEDs (integrated into the box):
oCPU running, Ethernet working, WIFI operations
•White LED on Bottom:
oFlashing: Inclusion state
oFast Flashing: Exclusion state
oBreathing: Z-Wave Network Management Active
•White LED frame around the Box (Power and tamper state):
oOff: No power or battery operated
oBreathing: Normal state (After an update process it could take up to two minutes
until the LED will begin to breath. That indicates completed update.)
oFast blinking: Tampered
The HUB provides 4 buttons on the backside of the enclosure:
•Tamper: Automatically activated when the HUB is removed from the mounting base
•Z-Wave:
oSingle click turns the HUB into Z-Wave Inclusion Mode (white LED blink)
oLong press starts Z-Wave Exclusion Mode (white LED blinks fast).
Repeating the action stops the modes.
•Reset: Hold down the reset button when powering up the HUB. This turns the device back
into factory defaults and resets all passwords and settings.
•WPS: WPS function of WIFI
Support for EnOcean Devices
In order to use EnOcean devices please plugin the Popp EnOcean Stick (POPE12204) into the
USB Port. Start the user interface, open Configuration Apps and activate the EnOcean App.
Now you can add and use EnOcean devices by using Configuration Devices. Please note
that EnOcean devices are not self-describing but need to be identified before pairing. Identifying
the wrong device will result in malfunction. Not all EnOcean devices are supported at the moment.
Please find a list of supported devices on www.popp.eu/enocean.

Mobile Access
For controlling your smart home via mobile device you can download the Popp HUB App:
Z-Way
The Popp HUB is powered by Z-Way, the famous Z-Wave control
software of Z-Wave.Me that is also powering famous projects
such as Razberry (razberry.zwave.me). This means that all apps,
workarounds, tricks and HowTos provided and describes for the Razberry project – e.g. on
http://forum.z-wave.me/ – can be used and applied for the Popp HUB too.
