Z-WAVE TERMINOLOGY

Primary Controller: This is the

main device used to set up and

control your Z-Wave network.

There can only be one primary

controller and it must be used to

add or delete devices. A primary

controller can be a portable

device like a hand-held remote,

a static controller (permanently

installed & never moved), a

Z-Wave enabled PC or a Z-Wave

enabled Ethernet router/bridge/

gateway.

Secondary Controller: The

Z-Wave network supports

multiple controllers so the

residents can use additional

Z-Wave remotes throughout the

home. A secondary controller

can not be used to add or delete

devices.

Slave: Devices within the Z-Wave

network are either controllers or

slaves. Most AC powered slaves

also function as repeaters in the

network, and when required,

relay the command signals to

the destination device. Battery

powered devices like motion

detectors are typically asleep

and do not function as repeaters.

Home Control Network: Your

controllers and every Z-Wave

device you have added with the

primary controller are linked

together into a wireless network.

Each device in your network has

a unique address assigned to it

and cannot be activated by your

neighbor’s Z-Wave controller.

Light/Node/Device: Node is the

technical term used to describe

a Z-Wave device in your home

control network. Please note that

the terms “Node”, “Device” and

“Light” all refer to an individual

Z-Wave enabled device and

are interchangeable within the

context of these instructions.

Group: Groups can also be

thought of as an area or zone.

Multiple Z-Wave devices can be

turned ON or OFF with a single

command when they are placed

into a Group. One example

would be Grouping your porch

light, exterior garage lights and

patio lights together so that they

could all be turned ON if you hear

a strange sound in the middle of

the night.
