Quickstart

This is a Portable Controller for XXXQFrequencyName. To run this device please make sure the internal battery is fully charged.

The device can be in normal control mode or management mode. Pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. will turn the fob into management mode. Management mode will time out after 10 sec. if no button is pushed. Button 3 confirms standard inclusion/exclusion by a primary controller, button 1 confirms a network wide inclusion. Button 2 issues a node information frame or wakeup notification, button 4 adds associated device.

Product Description

The Z-Wave.Me Key Fob is a Z-Wave device that can both control other Z-Wave devices and activate predefined scenes in an IP gateway. Although it is controlling other devices the fob can?t act as Z-Wave network controller (primary or secondary) and will always need a Z-Wave network controller to be included into a Z-Wave network. The Key Fob can be used in five different modes that are picked by configuration commands:

Direct Control of associated Devices with On/Off/Dim commands
Direct Control of associated Devices with On/Off commands
Switch All On/Off
Scene Activation in IP Gateway
Direct Activation of preconfigured Scenes
Direct Control of Devices in proximity

Installation

The device comes ready to use with a battery already installed. A simple push of one the buttons will be confirmed by a single LED blinking sequence. This can serve as a simple initial device test.

For battery change the device needs to be opened by removing the three little screws on the back side of the device. During reassembly watch the position of the white rubber and the make sure the silver buttons fit exactly into the nipples of the rubber.

The device can be operated in two different modes: the operation mode and the management mode:

Operation Mode: This is the mode where the device is controlling other devices.
Management Mode: The device is turned into the management mode by pushing all four buttons for 5 sec. A blinking LED indicates the management mode. In the management mode buttons of the device have different functions. If no further action is performed the device will turn back to the normal mode after 10 sec. Any management action terminates the management mode as well.

Product Usage

Depending on the button mode and operating modes configured using the configuration parameters the key fob can be used in different ways.

Button modes:

Control is done with two buttons (This is the mode set on default) One group (No. 1) of devices is controlled by button 1 and 3, the other group (No. 3) is controlled by button 2 and 4. Clicking the larger button turned on the loads. clicking the smaller button turns off the loads. In case dimmers are controlled, holding down the larger button will dim up, holding down the smaller button will dim down the load. Releasing the button will stop the dimming function.

Control is done with two buttons and double clicks This mode is same as previous, but double clicks (on/off) or click-holds (dimming) are used to control two more groups: No. 2 and No. 4.

Control is done with single buttons In this mode a group of device is controlled by a single button: single click turns on, double click turns off devices in the group. In case dimmers are controlled, holding down the button will dim up, click and hold down will dim down the load. Group number corresponds to the button label.

Operating modes:

Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands (This is the mode set on default). Devices are controlled using Basic Set On/Off commands and SwitchMultilevel Dim Start/Stop. This mode implements communication pattern 7.

Direct Control of associated devices with only On/Off commands. Devices are controlled using only Basic Set On/Off commands. On dimming Up event On is sent, on dimming Down Off is sent. This mode also implements communication pattern 7.

Switch All commands In this mode a all neighbouring devices will receive SwitchAll Set On/Off command and interpret it according to their membership in SwitchAll groups. This mode implements communication pattern 7.

Direct Control of Devices in proximity Basic Set and SwitchMultilevel Dim commands are sent to a device in proximity (50...100 cm) from the Fob. Attention: In case there are more than one Z-Wave devices nearby all these devices may be switched. For this reason the proximity function should be handled with care. This mode implements communication pattern 7.

Direct Activation of preconfigured scenes Associated devices in an association group are controlled by individual commands defines by Z-Wave command class ?Scene Controller Configuration?. This mode enhances mode Direct Control of associated devices with On/Off/Dim commands and implements communication patterns 6 and 7.

Scene Activation in IP Gateway If configured correctly the buttons can trigger a scene in a gateway. The scene number triggered is a combination of the group number and the action performed on the button and has always two digits. The group number defines the upper digit of the scene number, the action the lower digit. The following actions are possible:

1 = On
2 = Off
3 = Dim Up Start
4 = Dim Down Start
5 = Dim Up Stop
6 = Dim Down Stop

Example: Clicking/double clicking the button will issue scene triggers, scene 11 (button 1 click, event on), scene 12 (button double click 1, event off, single button control is used in this example)

This mode implements communication pattern 6.

In management mode the following actions can be performed:

Button 1 - Network Wide Inclusion: The device can be included into a Z-Wave Network from any physical location in the network. This requires a primary controller supporting Explorer Frames. This mode lasts for 20 seconds and stops automatically. Any button press stops the mode as well.
Button 2 - Send Node Information Frame and Wake up Notification. (see explanation below)
Button 3 - Learn Mode: The device is included or excluded from a controller in direct wireless range. Any button press stops the mode. Performing an exclusion of the device from a network resets the device into its factory default.
Button 4 - Enter into Association mode to assign target devices to one of the four association. Refer to the manuals section about association for more information how to set and unset association groups.

Reset to factory default	XXXResetDescription
Inclusion	Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode turn the KFOB into management mode and hit Button 3. The device is excluded by entering management mode and hitting button 3 when the controller is in exclusion mode. To include/exclude the device in the NWI mode turn the KFOB into management mode and hit Button 1.
Exclusion	Once the controller is turned into inclusion mode turn the KFOB into management mode and hit Button 3. The device is excluded by entering management mode and hitting button 3 when the controller is in exclusion mode. To include/exclude the device in the NWI mode turn the KFOB into management mode and hit Button 1.
NIF	Pressing Button 2 in management mode will issue a Node Information Frame.
Wakeup	The Fob will stay awake right after inclusion for 2.5 seconds allowing the controller to perform certain configuration. It is possible to manually wake up the device by pushing button 2 in management mode. The minimum allowed wakeup time is 240s but it?s strongly recommended to define a much longer interval since the only purpose of a wakeup should be the reporting of the battery status or an update of the child protection settings. Defining Node id of 0 as a destination of the Wake up Notification will disable the periodical wakeup function entirely.

SetAssociation	To control a Z-Wave device from the Key Fob the node ID of this devices needs to be assigned to one of the four association groups. This is a three-step process: Turn the Key Fob into management mode and hit button 4 within 10 sec. (LED is blinking green when management mode is reached). Within 10 sec. push the button you like the Z-Wave actuator to be assigned with. After 10 sec. the devices goes back to sleep. Single click means adding to this association group, double click means removing the node selected in step (3) from this association group. Find the Z-Wave actuator you like to control by the key fob. Hit the button on the device to issue a Node Information Frame within 20 sec. A common way is hitting a control button one or three times. Please consult the manual of the device to be controlled for more information how to issue an Node Information Frame. Any button press on Key Fob at this stage will terminate the process.
