Introduction
ZXT‐310isaZ‐Wave‐to‐AVIRExtender(Figure1)anditworkswith
anyZ‐WavecompliantcontrollerorgatewaybytranslatingZ‐Wave

ItalsosupportsZ‐Wavenetworkswithmultiplegatewaysand
controllers.LikeeveryZ‐Waveaccessory,theuserwillneedtoinclude
theZXT‐310intohisZ‐Wavenetworkusingtheprimarycontroller.
Then,theusercanuseeithertheprimarycontrollerorsecondary
controllertoconfigureandsetuptheZXT‐310usingZ‐Wave’s

notneedtohaveanyknowledgerelatedtoIRcontrolcode.Italso
eliminatestheneedforcomplexsetupproceduresandproprietaryZ‐
