Push the "Include" button for 2 seconds to include the device into an existing the Z-Wave network. For Inclusion of Z-Wave devices into the remote controls network press 3 times the "Inclusion" button on the backside of the remote control and confirm by pressing the dedicated button on the target.
The DUWI Remote Control controls Z-Wave actuators such as dimmers, switches, thermostats or motor controls for blinds or jalousies. Devices can be turned on and off but dimmers and motor controls can also be turned into a desired dimming level to motor position by keeping a button pushed and releasing it. Additionally the device can act as a primary controller of a Z-Wave network using three dedicated network control buttons located behind a sliding cover. 10 pair of buttons - illuminated by blue light when operated - allow to control up to 7 control groups (association groups) and 3 scenes. The scenes learn the desired status of selected actuators and can turn them back into this status just hitting a button. The devices in the 7 control groups a re always switched simultaneously. The remote control can operate as a secondary control beside an IP-Gateway however it is not possible from this device to activate scenes defined in the IP-Gateway. All scenes and control groups are stored within the remote control and they are also conveniently programmed using the buttons of the remote rather than using wireless commands from an IP-Gateway.
The DÜWI Remote Control can either built and manage its own Z-Wave network or work together with a IP-Gateway in one common network. It has 10 different button groups to control 10 different devices or groups of devices.
As Single Controller
All Z-Wave devices are connected to the remote control with two steps:
Each button of the button group has different functions:
,On" - short click: turn on device(s)
,On" - pushed: dim up light or wind up jalousie until button is released
,Off" - short click: turn off device(s)
,Off" - pushed: dim down light or wind down jalousie until button is released
Status: Call the status of the device controlled. Blue LED indicated "on", red LED indicates "off". A blinking LED indicated that different devices controlled by this button group have different switching states.
Specialty of the Scene-Groups
The three scene button groups allow individually assigning switching states of the devices controlled by this groups. This means that one device may dim to a certain level, another device is turned off and one other device is turned on - all by hitting one single button (the normal groups only allow to simultaneously control device). Assign the device to this group and make sure you leave it in the desired state after sending out the NIF.
The button group ,All On/Off" turns on or off all those actuators supporting this function and being configured accordingly. The configuration is usually done using an IP Gateway.
Together with an IP-Gateway
The remote control can both be included by an IP-Gateway as secondary controller or it can include an IP- Gateway (or any other Z-Wave controller) as secondary controller remaining the primary controller of the network. As a primary controller the DÜWI remote can still be used to include further devices.
Being included by an IP-Gateway causes two possible pit falls:
The inclusion of the remote into an IP-Gateway is initiated by the IP-Gateway. It needs to be turned into inclusion mode. Pushing "Incl." for 2 second confirms the inclusion process and turns the remote control into a secondary controller of the IP-Gateway. The IP-Gateway will show the remote control as a new device but will not offer any further functions. All management of button groups etc. is still done using the buttons of the remote control!
Trigger Scenes in an IP-Gateway
This remote control is no dedicated scene controller for IP-Gateways. Nevertheless it is possible to trigger scenes in the Gateway in a limited way. The IP gateway can be associated to a button group the very same way as any other device (The IP Gateway needs to provide a way to issue a Node Information Frame for this.). The remote control will now send the values 0xff (On button) and 0x00 (Off button) to the IP-Gateway that can be used to activate scenes in this IP-Gateway. Please refer to the manual of the IP-Gateway how to set scene triggers. Some IP-Gateways may try to wirelessly configure the remote control to perform this step. This will fail but the scene triggering still works. The scene values are independent of the group and assigning the IP-Gateway to another group will result in sending the very same values and subsequently triggering the very same scenes.

As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a primary controller the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage associations, and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller functions are supported:
Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a controller. The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the inclusion - typically by pressing a button.
If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and any other secondary controller can also include and exclude devices.
To become primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.
For Inclusion of Z-Wave devices into the remote controls network do the following steps:
The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During exclusion the relationship between the device and the network of this controller is terminated. No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can happen after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the exclusion mode. Once in this exclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the exclusion - typically by pressing a button.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from it's previous network.
For Exclusion of Z-Wave devices from the remote controls network do the following steps:
