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.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

RGB Bulb is a smart bulb enables Z-Wave remote command and control (on/off/dim). It has over 16,000,000 colors, you can choose its color according to your favour.

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.

There are two ways to reset the RGB BULB. One is that removingRGB BULB from the Z-Wave network, the other is that using theconfiguration command class.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

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

To include RGB BULB into a Z-Wave network as a non-security device:(1) Make sure the power supply is disconnected and the RGB BULB islocated within a direct Z-Wave network's main controllercommunication range.(2) Set the Z-Wave network main controller into learning mode(see Z-Wave network controller operating manual).(3) Insert the RGB BULB into a lamp-socket and then power on.(4) Auto-inclusion will be activated. If the inclusion is successful, theRGB BULB will blink fast in blue for less than 5 seconds and thenkeep on for 3 seconds. RGB BULB will keep on in the color before itis included into the Z-Wave network after the inclusion procedureis finished.To include RGB BULB into a Z-Wave network as a security device:(1) Screw in the RGB BULB.(2) Set the Z-Wave network main controller into learning mode(see Z-Wave network controller operating manual).(3) Toggle the wall switch off and on 3 times quickly (within 3 secondsand the final ending position of the wall switch must be on).(4) If the inclusion is successful, the RGB BULB will blink fast in greenfor less than 5 seconds and then keep on 3 seconds. RGB BULB willkeep on in the color before it is included into the Z-Wave networkafter the inclusion procedure is finished.

Exclusion

To remove the RGB BULB from the Z-Wave network:(1) Screw in the RGB BULB.(2) Set the Z-Wave network main controller into excluding mode(see Z-Wave controller operating manual).(3) Toggle the wall switch off and on 3 times quickly(within 3and the final ending position of the wall switch must be on),if the exclusion is successful, the RGB BULB will blink fast inorange for less than 5 seconds and then keep on for 3 seconds.RGB BULB will keep on warm white after the exclusion procedureis finished.

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:

Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 5 Z-Wave Plus LifelineRGB BULB supports only one association groupings:RGB BULB will send the follow notification to the associated nodes whenthe status of the RGB BULB is changed.1. Set Configuration parameter 24 to 0: Reserved2. Set Configuration parameter 24 to 1: Send Basic Report3. Set Configuration parameter 24 to 2: Send Basic Report only when thestatus of the RGB BULB is not changed by Z-WAVE Command.

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.
