What is Z-Wave?

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

WiDom Smart Plug is able to detect overvoltage and/or overcurrent events and indicate them through a multicolor LED. Furthermore, it protects appliances from eventual overload. A very innovative design, which integrates a complex system that allows a precise energy consumption monitoring. The integration of these features in its very small size product, make it unique on the market.
The device is equipped with contact protection technology (Zero Crossing) which reduces the electrical stress on the relay contacts and ensures a longer life. The open / closed switching of the device always occur when the instantaneous value of voltage is 0.
It operates in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave/Z-Wave Plus certified devices and controllers from any other manufacturer. As a constantly powered node, WiDom Smart Plug will act as repeater regardless of the vendor in order to increase the reliability of the network.

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.

The device can be reset to the original factory settings by removing the device from the Z-Wave Network.

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.

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 3 times

Exclusion

Press the button 3 times

Product Usage

LED status indicator

The system includes an RGB LED that shows the device’s status during use:
One single BLUE blink: when connecting to the power supply and the device is not yet included in the Z-Wave network
OFF: the relay is OFF
Solid GREEN: the relay is ON
Blink GREEN - BLUE: Learn mode for Inclusion and Exclusion
Blink GREEN - the device is indicating Overcurrent event
Blink BLUE - the device is indicating Overvoltage event

Overvoltage and Overcurrent Alarms
WiDom Smart Plug is able to detect overvoltage and overcurrent events, and show them through a blinking LED:
- Blink GREEN - Overcurrent event
- Blink BLUE - Overvoltage event
These events generate alarms that can control associated devices, by sending Basic Set Commands and open the relay in case of the overcurrent alarm.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. 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 8 Lifeline
2 8 Over Current
3 8 Over Volage
4 8 On/Off Control 1 Click
5 8 On/Off Control 2 Click

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: Local load control

Defines which sequences of click control the local load.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 3

Setting Description
1 1 click turn ON/OFF the local load
2 2 click turn ON/OFF the local load
3 1 click or 2 clicks turn ON/OFF the local load

Parameter 2: Level used to control the devices associated to group 4

Defines how to control the devices associated to 1 click event.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 100

Setting Description
0 The associated devices are switched OFF
1 - 99 The associated devices (dimmer, roller shutters) are set to the indicated level
100 If the relay is ON/OFF, the associated devices are ON/OFF
255 The associated devices are switched ON

Parameter 3: Level used to control the devices associated to group 5

Defines how to control the devices associated to 2 clicks event.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 100

Setting Description

100 If the relay is ON/OFF, the associated devices are ON/OFF
255 The associated devices are switched ON

Parameter 4: Overvoltage level

Defines the voltage level (in Volts) beyond which an overvoltage event is identified and the overvoltage timer is activated. The timer is reset when the event ceases, i.e. when the voltage returns below the overvoltage level. As soon as an overvoltage event occurs, the LED starts a BLUE blinking. If the overvoltage event ceases before the overvoltage timer expires, the blue blinking is stopped, otherwise the alarm is generated and the blinking reset is established by parameter 6.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 253

The timer is reset when the event ceases, i.e. when the current returns below the overcurrent level. As soon as an overcurrent event occurs, the led starts a red blinking. If the overcurrent event ceases before the overcurrent timer expires, the red blinking is stopped, otherwise the alarm is generated and the blinking reset is established by parameter 10.
