Quick Start
SThis device operates as Z-Wave sensor. The device operates in normal control mode or in
management mode. Pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. will turn the device into management mode (indicated
by blinking green LED). The management mode will time out after 10 seconds if no further button is pushed.
Button 3 confirms standard inclusion or exclusion started by a primary controller, button 2 issues a Node
Information Frame or wakeup notification, button 4 is used to add devices into association groups and
button 1 confirms inclusion or exclusion in NWI (network wide inclusion) mode.
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 Wall Controller is a Z-Wave device that can both control other Z-Wave devices and activate
predefined scenes in an IP gateway. Although it is controlling other devices, the Wall Controller cannot 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:
1. Control of groups of other Z-Wave devices using 'ON', 'OFF' and Dim commands.
2. Control of devices in proximity of the Wall Controller using 'ALL ON' or 'ALL OFF' commands.
3. Activation of predefined scenes in Gateways or other Z-Wave devices.
The device can be used with split paddles as well. Just remove the single paddle and mont the split paddle.
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: 1 * CR2032
Installation Guidelines
The device comes ready to use with a battery already installed. On factory default the device is not included
in any network and any button push will result in a long red blink of the LED, indicating an error. This
behavior can be used to test the factory default or exclusion state.

The device can be mounted on every dry and flat surface using either screws or double side adhesive. First
the mounting base is fixed on the wall. Next step the switch frame is placed on the 2 frame and the
electronic insert is used to fix the frame to the mounting base as shown on the image. Finally the switching
paddle(s) are mounted on the electronic base.
For battery change, the switching paddle(s) need to be removed. The CR battery can be replaced by
pushing the little nipple above the battery. The old battery will slide out and the new battery is inserted until
the nipple will hold it again.
The device can be operated in two different modes:
Operation Mode: This is the mode where the device is controlling other Z-Wave devices or is activating
scenes.
Management Mode: The device is turned into the management mode by pushing all four buttons for 5 sec.
A blinking green LED indicates the management mode. In the management mode the buttons of the device
have different functions. If no further action is performed, the device will turn back to the normal mode after
10 sec. Any management action terminates the management mode as well.
In management mode the following actions can be performed:
(c) 2012 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Goldbachstr. 13, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, All rights reserved, www.zwaveeurope.com - pp 3

Button 1 - Network Wide Inclusion: The device can be included into a Z-Wave network from any physical
location in the network. This requires a primary controller supporting Explorer Frames. This mode lasts for
20 seconds and stops automatically. Any button press stops the mode as well.
Button 2 - Send Node Information Frame and Wake up Notification. (See explanation in the respective
chapters below)
Button 3 – Standard Inclusion/Exclusion Mode: The device is included or excluded from a controller in direct
wireless range. Any button press stops the mode. Performing an exclusion of the device from a network
resets the device into its factory default.
Button 4 - Association Set: To assign target devices to one of the four association groups. Refer to the
manuals section about association for more information how to set and unset association groups.
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
IOn 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.
Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode turn the Wall Controller into management mode and
hit button 3. The device is excluded by entering management mode and hitting button 3 when the
controller is in exclusion mode. To include/exclude the device in the NWI mode turn the Wall Controller
into management mode and hit button 1.
Operating the device
Depending on the button mode and command set configured the device can be used in different ways.
Button modes:
Control with two groups of two buttons (This is the default mode) One group (No. 1) of devices is
controlled by button 1 and 3, the other group (No. 2) is controlled by button 2 and 4. Clicking the larger
button turns the loads 'ON', clicking the smaller button turns the loads 'OFF'. If double clicks are enabled in
configuration parameters #1 or #2, groups No. 3 and No. 4 are controlled by short double click of the
buttons.
Dimming commands are sent by holding down the buttons (Dim UP using Buttons 1 and 2, Dim Down using
Buttons 3 and 4) respective Click + Hold in case the double click option is enabled.
(c) 2012 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Goldbachstr. 13, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, All rights reserved, www.zwaveeurope.com - pp 4

Control with single buttons In this mode a group of devices is controlled by a single button: single click
turns 'ON'; double click turns 'OFF' devices in the group. In case dimmers are controlled, holding down the
button will dim up, click and hold down will dim down the load. The group number corresponds to the button
label.
Control Commands:
The configuration parameter #11…#14 specifies what commands are sent when the buttons are operated.
Direct Control of associated devices using 'ON', 'OFF', 'DIM UP' and 'DIM DOWN' The special
commands 'ALL ON' resp. 'ALL OFF' are sent as broadcast to all devices in direct wireless range. The
devices act according to their individual settings for 'Switch ALL' commands. This mode implements the
communication pattern 7.
Simple Scene Activation using configurable scene control commands.. Associated devices in an
association group are controlled by individual commands defined by Z-Wave command class 'Scene
Controller Configuration'. One scene number can be configured per association group. On default, the
scene number equals the association group number as shown in the figure below. This mode implements
communication patterns 6 and 7. This mode is typically used to activate scenes in IP gateways but can also
be used to activate predefined scenes in other scene-capable devices.

Enhanced Scene Activation:
In this mode every button action can issue a scene activation command with a dedicated number. The
scene number 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 1 will issue a scene activation command for scene 11 (button 1
click, event on) and scene 12 (button double click 1, event off, single button control is used in this example).
This mode implements the communication pattern 6.
Child Protection
The device can be turn into a child protection mode. In this mode all local operation is disabled.
The device can be turned into a child protection mode. In this mode all local operation is disabled. The child
protection mode MUST be turned on wirelessly. However, in protected by sequence mode it is possible to
unlock the device for local operation by pressing any button for 5 seconds. The unlock state will last for 5
seconds.
Wakeup Intervals - how to communicate with the device?
WThis 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 Cis 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.
(c) 2012 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Goldbachstr. 13, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, All rights reserved, www.zwaveeurope.com - pp 6

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.
The device will stay awake right after inclusion for 2.5 seconds allowing the controller to perform certain
configuration actions. It is possible to manually wake up the device by pushing button 2 in management
mode.
The minimum allowed wakeup time is 240s but it is strongly recommended to define a much longer interval
since the only purpose of a wakeup should be the reporting of the battery status or an update of the child
protection settings. Defining Node ID of 0 as a destination of the Wakeup Notification will disable the
periodical wakeup function entirely.
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 out a Node Information Frame.
Pressing Button 2 in management mode will issue a Node Information Frame.
LED Control
1. Confirmation - green 2 sec
2. Failure - red 2 sec
3. Button press confirmation - green 1/4 sec
4. Waiting for Network Management mode selection - green blinks
5. Waiting for group selection in Association Set Mode - green fast blink
6. Waiting for NIF in Association Set Mode - green-red - off blink
Associations
AZ-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.
(c) 2012 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Goldbachstr. 13, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, All rights reserved, www.zwaveeurope.com - pp 7

Association Groups:
1 Controlled by button 1 or single clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 8)
2 Controlled by button 3 or double clicks of buttons 1 and 3 (max. nodes in group: 8)
3 Controlled by button 2 or single clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 8)
4 Controlled by button 4 or double clicks of buttons 2 and 4 (max. nodes in group: 8)
Set and unset associations to actuators
Associations can be assigned and remove either via Z-Wave commands or using the device itself.
SA
To control a Z-Wave device from the Wall Controller the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one
of the four association groups. This is a three-step process:
1. Turn the Wall Controller into management mode and hit button 4 within 10 sec. (LED is blinking green
when management mode is reached).
2. Within 10 sec. push the button you like the Z-Wave actuator to be assigned with. After 10 sec. the
devices goes back to sleep. Single click means adding to this association group, double click
means removing the node selected in step (3) from this association group.
3. Find the Z-Wave actuator you like to control by the Wall Controller. Hit the button on the device to
issue a Node Information Frame within 20 sec. A common way is hitting a control button one or three
times. Please consult the manual of the device to be controlled for more information how to issue an
Node Information Frame. Any button press on Wall Controller at this stage will terminate the process.
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.
