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.
The Aeon Labs Multisensor is a USB or battery-powered Z-Wave motion sensor, temperature sensor, humidity sensor and lightness sensor in one package. The sensor will send radio signals up to 6 associated Z-Wave devices within its own Z-Wave network when the sensor detects IR changes in front of its viewing window. The Aeon Labs Multisensor complies with the IP43 standard so it can be used outdoors. By adjusting the sensitivity of the sensor you can avoid the triggering due to small animals like dogs or cats. The Aeon Labs Multi Sensor is delivered with a swivelling Back-Mount Arm for wall mount and a Back-Mount Plate for ceiling mount.
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.
1. Release the Multisensor from the mounting by rotating it counterclockwise (sign: "Lock"/ "Unlock")
2. Put the 4 AAA batteries in the battery compartment.
3. The sensor can be mounted as follows:
(a) For wall mount use the screws with the swivelling Back-Mount Arm. Further fix the sensor with Back-Mount Plate like shown in the picture.
Important: The Multisensor should be mounted with the Temperature/Humidity Sensor facing downwards and positioned on the bottom of the unit to protect it from snow and rain.
(b) For ceiling mount use the screws with the Back-Mount Plate.
4. Mount the Multisensor on the Mount Plate by rotating it clockwise to the "Lock" sign.
The next pictures are showing the effective motion sensor range for ceiling and wall mounting.
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.
Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Click the little button behind the battery to confirm the process.
A successful Inclusion/Exclusion lights up the sensor LED for a few seconds.
Make sure that your Z-Wave Controller is in the Inclusion-/Exclusion-Mode. Click the little button behind the battery to confirm the process.
A successful Inclusion/Exclusion lights up the sensor LED for a few seconds.
The Multisensor reports the temperature, humidity and lightness by request to a Z-Wave gateway or controller. The sensor will send radio signals up to 6 associated Z-Wave devices within its own Z-Wave network.
The sensitivity of the motion detector can be manually adjusted via the Sensitivity Knob at the battery cover. To increase the sensitivity rotate the Knob clockwise, to decrease it rotate it counterclockwise.
The Node Information Frame (NIF) 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. To issue a NIF execute the following action:
A single click on the little button behind the battery sends a Node Information Frame.
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:
A single click on the little button behind the battery will wake up the device and keep it awake.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
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.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | 5 | Devices to be switched on upon motion deteced and off after a timeout (on time) |
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.
