SKU: PWLY-7828-A1
Quickstart
This is a HVAC-Thermostat for U.S. / Canada / Mexico. Please make sure the internal battery
is fully charged. To add this device to your network execute the following action:
Z-Wave Inclusion ProcessFirst, be sure your Energy Bridge has power and the green light is
illuminated. Follow the in-app instructions along with the steps below to include your
Thermostat.To put your thermostat into inclusion mode, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds.
CONNECT will scroll across the thermostat display once in inclusion mode. SUCCESS will
scroll across the thermostat display once included. FAIL will scroll across the thermostat display
if inclusion is unsuccessful, or if process takes longer than 1 minute. See the next page for
troubleshooting.To learn more about which Z-Wave command classes this thermostat supports,

Important safety information
Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be
dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be
liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual
or any other material. Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal
instructions. Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat
sources.
What is Z-Wave?
Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device
is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.
Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by
reconfirming every message (two-way
communication) and every mains powered node
can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed
network) in case the receiver is not in direct
wireless range of the transmitter.
This device and every other certified Z-Wave
device can be used together with any other
certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand
and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.
If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as
long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically
turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

Product Description
Residential energy usage is driven by the home's heating and cooling system, and Powerley
provides the connectivity to understand usage of the home's HVAC and control remotely or
automatically with the Powerley Thermostat. The Powerley Thermostat uses the Z-Wave
protocol and can be seamlessly integrated into the connected home via the Powerley Energy
Bridge to facilitate communication and control between the devices. The thermostat provides the
user with the ability to remotely control home temperature and also allows Powerley to optimize
the HVAC system's use balancing energy usage and comfort. The device also provides for the
ability to facilitate Demand Response events, including allowing the consumer to choose whether
or not to participate in the event via push notifications.
Prepare for Installation / Reset
Please read the user manual before installing the product.
In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state.
Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an
Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to
perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous
network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.
Reset to factory default
This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This
procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Factory ResetPlease use Factory Reset only when the network primary controller is missing or
otherwise inoperable. To reset to factory defaults, turn the thermostat off by pressing Mode
repeatedly until OFF scrolls across the display, then press and hold the down and up Setpoint
arrows at the same time for 5 sec. If successful, RESET will scroll across the display and the
device will be restored to its default settings.NOTE: If a reset to factory default settings is
performed, all settings including Z-Wave configuration parameter values and temperature
setpoints will return to default values:Heat: 68 Cool: 78 Measure: Fahrenheit Swing: +/- 1 Multi-
stage temp differential: 3 System Type: 2-stage conventional heating & cooling
Inclusion/Exclusion
On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be
added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This
process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes
are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into
exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special
manual action right on the device.
Inclusion
Z-Wave Inclusion ProcessFirst, be sure your Energy Bridge has power and the green light is
illuminated. Follow the in-app instructions along with the steps below to include your
Thermostat.To put your thermostat into inclusion mode, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds.
CONNECT will scroll across the thermostat display once in inclusion mode. SUCCESS will
scroll across the thermostat display once included. FAIL will scroll across the thermostat display
if inclusion is unsuccessful, or if process takes longer than 1 minute. See the next page for
troubleshooting.To learn more about which Z-Wave command classes this thermostat supports,

Exclusion
Z-Wave Exclusion ProcessTo exclude your Thermostat, press and hold Mode for 5 seconds to
initiate Z-Wave exclusion process. DELETE will scroll across the thermostat display once in
inclusion mode. To cancel the exclusion process, press Mode. To complete exclusion press either
of the up/down arrows. SUCCESS will scroll across the thermostat display once excluded.NOTE:
Excluding the thermostat will restore it to the default state for Z-Wave and temperature set
points.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before
include.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing
Association - one device controls an other device
Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling
another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device
needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called
association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor
triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will
receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.
Association Groups:

This thermostat supports a single Z-Wave Association Group (Group 1)
called the u0022lifeline. All thermostat related commands are sent to the
NodeID programmed in Group 1. Z-Wave commands that are sent to
Group 1 include:Battery LevelThermostat heat set pointThermostat cool

Configuration Parameters
Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion, however certain
configuration can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.
IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. In order to set values in
the range 128 ... 255 the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For
example: To set a parameter to 200 it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56.
In case of a two byte value the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be
given as negative values too.
