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

The Alarm Motion Sensor sends alerts whenever motion is detected inside your home. It connects to your Ring Alarm Base Station and mounts to any indoor wall or corner, so youll always know when theres activity at home.* Requires the Ring Alarm Security Kit* Advanced motion sensitivity to prevent false alarms from pets* Mounts to room corners or flat walls

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.

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.

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 1 This sensor has two Association groups of 1 nodes each. Group 1 is a lifeline group who will receive unsolicited messages relating to Motion Detected/Not Detected notifications, case tampering notifications, and low-battery notifications.
2 1 When a node is associated with Group 2, the sensor will send a basic report of either 0xFF for motion or 0x00 for no motion.

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: Battery report

Configures how often the sensor should send an unsolicited Battery Report to the Lifeline.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 4200

Setting Description
255 - 4200 255 to 4200 seconds in 255 second increments that the sensor should wait between sending unsolicited battery reports.

Parameter 2: dwell window

Configures the dwell window or how long the sensor should not be detecting motion before sending the no motion detected message.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 3

Setting Description
1 - 9 1 to 9 minutes.

Parameter 3: Pet Immunity

Configures the Pet Immunity, or sensitivity of the motion detection used mostly so only human motion is detected.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 1

Setting Description
0 - 2 0 to 2 sensitivity. 0: No pet immunity 1: 15kg (33lb) 2:25kg (55lb)

Parameter 4: walk test

Parameter 4 is used to activate a walk test mode to test the PIR motion detection coverage after being installed. This mode is active for 15 minutes only after which the sensor returns to normal operation.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 0

Setting Description
0 - 15 0: Normal operation 0xFF: Activate Walk Test for 15 minutes

Parameter 5: Wakeup Notification

One-Time Wakeup Notification. (In addition to normal Wakeup Notification)
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

Setting Description
0 - 3600 1 (must be divisible by sleep step time of configuration parameter 7) to 3600 (0x0E10)

Parameter 6: Application Level Retries

Number of Application Level Retries after a failed transmission defined as either not ACKed or Supervision Report not returned when encapsulated.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 5

Setting Description
0 - 5 0 is no application level retries to 5

Parameter 7: sleep between application level retries.

The minimum number of seconds to sleep between application level retries.
Size: 1 Byte, Default Value: 6

Setting Description
1 - 6 1 to 60 seconds

Parameter 8: Supervisory Report

The number of milliseconds to wait for a Supervisory Report in response to a Supervisory encapsulated Get.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 1500

Setting Description
500 - 5000 500 to 5000 milliseconds

Parameter 9: Sleep step time

The number of seconds the device will sleep between waking up to increment its Wakeup and Heartbeat counter. Also the sleep step time.
Size: 2 Byte, Default Value: 0

Setting Description
1 - 255 1 to 255 seconds

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms

  • Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network. Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
  • Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network. Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.
  • Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
  • Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
  • Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
  • Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and a controlled device.
  • Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announces that is able to communicate.
  • Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
