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
Aeon Labs Door/ Window Sensor 6 is a smart Z-Wave sensor that can detect the status of door/window"s open/close in real time.
It?s a security Z-Wave device that supports security encryption. Also it supports the ?Over the Air Firmware Updating? that allows you wirelessly update its firmware if needs.
It can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from manufacturers and/or other applications.
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.
Press the Action Button once that you can find in the back of the product for 20 seconds and then release. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.
Safety Warning for Batteries
The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.
Installation
Whether it?s for security or intelligence purposes, your sensor:
1. Should be affixed indoors and away from sources of moisture.
2. Placed within 30 meters of another Z-Wave device that is either a gateway or not powered by batteries.
3. The magnet and the main sensor must be less than 1.6cm apart for the small magnet installation or 2.5cm apart for the big magnet installation. Main sensor must be affixed to the door or window and the magnet must be affixed to the frame. The magnet and the main sensor must separate when the door or window is opened.
4. Should not be mounted on a metal frame. 
Affix your Back Mounting Plate and Magnet to a surface.
The Back Mounting Plate can be affixed using screws or double-sided tape and should be mounted on the apex angle of the door. The Magnet must be affixed using double-sided tape and can?t exceed the valid range, see the figure below.
Note:
1. There are 2 types of Magnets (Magnet 1: 30mm×6mm×2mm, Magnet 2: 30mm×10mm×2mm) , the size of magnet 2 is a little larger than magnet 1, so the magnetism of magnet 2 is stronger than the magnet 1.
2. You can choose to install each one of magnet on the door frame according to your need or the distance between the door and frame, see the figure below.
3. The Magnets should not be around children to avoid swallowing of the magnets.
When the Back Mounting Plate is affixed by the double-sided tape, wipe the two surfaces clean of any oil or dust with a damp towel. Then when the surface has completely dried, peel one side of the tape back and attach it to the corresponding section on the rear side of the Back Mounting Plate
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
1. Remove the backplate2. Press the button on the back of the sensor once.
Exclusion
1. Remove the backplate2. Press the button on the back of the sensor once.
Communication to a Sleeping device (Wakeup)
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. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: Press the Action Button once, which will trigger sending out the Wake up notification command, press and hold the Action Button for 3 seconds, which will toggle on/off the Sensor be waked up for 10 minutes.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- 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 | Group 1 is assigned to the Lifeline association group and every device has 5 nodes to associate. The sensor binary report, basic set or notification report command can be sent in this group when the Sensor is triggered. |
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.
