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
The devolo Home Control Smart Metering Plug is an intelligent wall socket that adds useful additional functions to all wall sockets present in the household. This enables connected devices to be switched on and off based on time control, either using rules configured in the Z-Wave-compatible control unit or using the corresponding app. In addition, the devolo Home Control Smart Metering Plug has an energy consumption measurement feature.
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 ON/OFF button for at least 10 sec. to reset the device to the factory defaults. After the reboot, the device starts Auto Inclusion again.
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.
Installation
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
Press the button of the connected Smart Metering Plug 3x within 1.2 seconds to start the inclusion process with the Z-Wave-compatible control unit.Exclusion
Press the ON/OFF button 3x within 1.2 seconds to put the device into Exclusion mode. (indicated by white LED: 0.5 sec. ON, 0.5 sec. OFF)Auto-Inclusion
Beside the standard inclusion this devices supports the so called auto inclusion. Right after powering up the device remains in inclusion state and can be included by (any) gateway without further actions on the device itself. The auto inclusion mode will time out after some time.Product Usage
LED Display
The LEDs indicate the device status:
Normal: In normal operation, the ON/OFF button switches between ON and OFF. The white LED is illuminated when the device is ready to operate; when the LED is switched off, the device is also switched
Inclusion with the control unit: If the Smart Metering Plug is in Inclusion mode, the white LED flashes at intervals of 0.5 sec.
Exclusion from the control unit: If the Smart Metering Plug is in Exclusion mode, the white LED flashes at intervals of 0.5 sec.
Inclusion with the control unit failed: If the process of including the Smart Metering Plug to the control unit has failed, the red LED flashes for one minute at time intervals of 0.5 seconds.
Classic inclusion with the control unit: During classic inclusion with the control unit (backwards compatibility), the red LED flashes at time intervals of 0.08 seconds.
Overload almost reached: If the Home Control Smart Metering Plug is exposed to a load of 11.7A for two seconds, the device signals the status Overload almost reached. The red LED is displayed constantly.
Overload: The Home Control Smart Metering Plug switches off automatically at an overload of 13A for 2 sec. The red LED flashes at time intervals of 0.15 sec. To restore function to the Home Control Smart Metering Plug, unplug it for around 10 seconds, then plug it in again.
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 | 1 | Lifeline |
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.
Parameter 1: Watt Meter Report Period
If 1 hour is set (target value =720), the Home Control Smart Metering Plug reports its power consumption at the current time every hour to the Node ID of Group 1. The maximum reporting period is 45 hours(5s*32767/3600=45hr). Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 720
