Z-Wave Remote Control
Firmware Version :1.1
Quick Start
S This device is a Z-Wave Remote Control with the logical function of a sensor. Push the "Include" button
behind the slider on the back side 3 times includes the device into an existing the Z-Wave network. The device
can not act as primary network controller.
Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products usage.
What is Z-Wave?
This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave is the
international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is using the frequency of
868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each message is reconfirmed (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.
Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or
measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered
controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated remote controls (R). This results in a
number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are partly or completely supported
by a specific device.
1. Controllers control actuators
2. Actuators report change of status back to controller
3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to
controller
4. Sensors directly control actuators
5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to
trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.
There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the network and
including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't
manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not
possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.

Product description
The Z-Wave.Me Remote controls Z-Wave actuators such as dimmers, switches, thermostats or motor controls
for blinds or jalousies and it can activate scenes in central gateways or any other Z-Wave devices. Devices can
be turned on and off but dimmers and motor controls can also be turned into a desired dimming level to motor
position by keeping a button pushed and releasing it. Although it is controlling other devices, the device can
not act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z-Wave network controller
to be included into a Z-Wave network. The device can be used in different modes that are selected by
configuration parameters 11-21:
1. Direct control of associated devices
2. Control of all devices in the Z-Wave network
3. Simple and enhanced scene activation
10 pair of buttons - illuminated by blue light when operated - allow to control up to 10 control groups (either
association groups or scenes)
Batteries
The unit is operated by batteries. Use only batteries of correct type. Never mix old and new batteries in the
same device. Used batteries contain hazardous substances and should not be disposed of with household
waste!
Battery Type: 4 * AAA
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
I On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an
existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.
Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary
controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode.
Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion or exclusion
mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave the
network. Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.
If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network.
Otherwise inclusion of this device will fail. If the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to
be reset first.
For including/excluding the remote control into an existing the Z-Wave network do the following steps:
Bring your primary controller into inclusion mode.
For Inclusion press the "Inclusion" button 3 times. The LED will flash green for a moment for
confirmation.
For Exclusion press the "Exclusion" button for 5 secs. The LED will flash green for a moment for
confirmation.

This Remote Control has 10 different button groups to control 10 different devices or groups of devices.
Operating modes for direct device control:
The devices supports 8 different operating modes for these groups - this means the kind of command sent out
when pushing a button. Operating modes either directly control other devices or they issue various scene
activation commands to a central controller. Operating modes for direct device control are:
Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands (parameter 11...21 = 1). Devices are
controlled using Basic Set On/Off commands and SwitchMultilevel Dim Start/Stop. This mode
implements communication pattern 7. Each button of the button group has different functions:
,On' - short click: turn on device(s)
,On' - pushed: dim up light or wind up jalousie until button is released
,Off' - short click: turn off device(s)
,Off' - pushed: dim down light or wind down jalousie until button is released
Status: Call the status of the device controlled. Blue LED indicated 'on', red LED indicates
'off'. A blinking LED indicated that different devices controlled by this button group have
different switching states.
Direct Control of associated devices with only On/Off commands (parameter 11...21 = 2). Devices are
controlled using only Basic Set On/Off commands. On dimming Up event On is sent, on dimming
Down Off is sent. This mode also implements communication pattern 7.

KWWSPDQXDOV]ZDYHHXURSHFRPPDNHSKS"ODQJ HQW\SH VNX =0(B5&
Switch All commands (parameter 11...21 = 3) In this mode a all neighbouring devices will receive
SwitchAll Set On/Off command and interpret it according to their membership in SwitchAll groups.
This mode implements communication pattern 7.
Operating modes for scene activation are:
Direct Activation of preconfigured scenes (parameter 11...21 = 5) This mode causes the button of the
groups to send out the number of the group (1..10) as scene activation command and implements
communication patterns 6 and 7.
Scene Activation in IP Gateway (parameter 11...21 = 4) If configured correctly the buttons can trigger
a scene in a gateway. The scene number triggered is a combination of the group number and the
action performed on the button and has always two digits. The group number defines the upper
digit of the scene number, the action the lower digit. The following actions are possible:
1 = On
2 = Off
3 = Dim Up Start
4 = Dim Down Start
5 = Dim Up Stop
6 = Dim Down Stop
Example: Clicking/double clicking the button will issue scene triggers, scene 11 (button 1 click,
event on), scene 12 (button double click 1, event off, single button control is used in this example)
Wakeup Intervals - how to communicate with the device?
W This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life
time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C
is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store
commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may
become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup
Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the
desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this
controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between
maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device.
Pressing the "INCL." button for three times will wake up the device.
It is possible to set the node ID to 255 to send wakeup notifications as broadcast. In this mode device takes more time to go to sleep
and drains battery faster, but can notify all it's direct neighbors about a wakeup.
Node Information Frame
NI The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about
the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by
sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send

KWWSPDQXDOV]ZDYHHXURSHFRPPDNHSKS"ODQJ HQW\SH VNX =0(B5&
out a Node Information Frame.
Pressing the "INCL." button for three times will send out a Node Information Frame.
LED Control
Green blinking 1Hz frequency: Learning Mode
Red blink: No program/ invalid button press / The protection is set
Yellow for 3 sec: The On button command was send successfully
Blue for 3 sec: The Off button command was send successfully
Yellow/RED for 3 sec: The On button command was send unsuccessfully
Blue/RED for 3 sec: The Off button command was send unsuccessfully
Red blinking 2Hz frequency: The batterry seems to be low.
Yellow/Blue/Red 3sec: The protection is unlocked
Blinking Blue - we are dimming.
Associations
A 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 a common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1 Lifeline. Send to controller battery level and WakeUp Notification (max. nodes in group:5)
2 The buttons of group №1 (max. nodes in group:5)
3 The buttons of group №2 (max. nodes in group:5)
4 The buttons of group №3 (max. nodes in group:5)
5 The buttons of group №4 (max. nodes in group:5)
6 The buttons of group №5 (max. nodes in group:5)
7 The buttons of group №6 (max. nodes in group:5)
8 The buttons of group №7 (max. nodes in group:5)
9 The buttons of scene №1 (max. nodes in group:5)
10 The buttons of scene №2 (max. nodes in group:5)
11 The buttons of scene №3 (max. nodes in group:5)
12 The buttons of All On/Off (max. nodes in group:5)

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 to configure 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 two byte value the same logic
applies: Values greater than 32768 may needed to be given as negative values too.
