Quickstart

This is a Multilevel Sensor for XXXQFrequencyName. To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply. Push the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. If the LED is not blinking after releasing the button, Z-Weather has not enough energy and must be charged for several hours in bright sunlight.

Product Description

Z-Weather is amultisensor device monitoring outside weather and environmental conditions. It continually measures the wind speed and can, for example, trigger closing of the awning and blinds if it is too windy. It also measures the amount of rotation, enabling calculation of the wind yield per day or per year. In addition, Z-Weather includes sensors for humidity, temperature, pressure and dew point, essentially providing the core sensors of a weather station.Z-Weather is powered by a solar cell and stores energy on an internal capacitor, enabling continuous operation, even with no wind for a couple of days. It does not use any batteries and is completely maintenance free. Using the built-in solar cell it also measures the ambient light and the solar yield. This information can be used to turn on the outdoor light at dusk time and turn the light off in the morning.Z-Weathers wind yield and solar yield metering can be used as a calculation base for planning a wind generator or a solar panel on the roof of a house.

Reset to factory default Hold the button longer than 1.5 seconds and then release.The LED blinks longer than when pressing the button once.Z-Weather performs a factory reset and all configuration parameters are reset to their default values. Use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
Inclusion Push the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. If the LED is not blinking after releasing the button, Z-Weather has not enough energy and must be charged for several hours in bright sunlight.
Exclusion Push the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds.
NIF XXXNIF
Wakeup Push the button 3 times within 1.5 seconds. The LED blinks once indicating that Z-Weather is. Z-Weather sends a Z-Wave Wakeup-Notification if has been added to the network. If Z-Weather has not yet been added to the network, no action is performed.

Association Groups:

Group Number Maximum Nodes Description
1 5 Lifeline. All readings are sent on a regular schedule. The schedule time is set automatically between 5 minutes and 5 hours depending on the available energy. Lifeline is also served after the button was pushed or in case of an unscheduled wakeup (wind speed, twilight). Serves one group member.
2 5 Too windyIf the threshold value for wind (Default value: 6m/s ) is exceeded, the basic set is sent to all group members. If the threshold value is exceeded for a long time, e.g. in case of storm for a couple of hours, the basic set value is sent repeatedly upon the scheduled wake up. Because in most cases the sun does not shine in case of storm, the repeated sending schedule may be between every one hour up to every five hours.
3 5 It is getting bright.Sends BASIC SET command in the morning when brightness reached trigger level (Default value: 37%)
4 5 It is getting dark.Sends BASIC SET command in the evening when brightness reached trigger level (Default value: 37%)

Configuration Parameters

Parameter 1: Threshold for too much wind

Crossing this parameter on the rising edge, Z-Weather sends a basic set to the associated groups, serves the lifeline and sends a wake up notification.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 6

Setting Description
0 - 30 m/s

Parameter 2: Threshold for twilight

Crossing this parameter from night to day, association group 3 is informed. Crossing this parameter from day to night, association group 4 is informed.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 37

Setting Description
0 - 100 %
