This is a
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.

Aeotec by Aeon Labs? MultiSensor looks like a motion sensor and it acts like one too. But it?s also so much more. Installing this 1 piece of Z-Wave® technology is the same as installing 6 pieces of Z-Wave technology. Your home control network will immediately understand motion, temperature, humidity, light, Ultraviolet and Vibration readings wherever MultiSensor installed. Those intelligent readings will equate to intelligence automation. And intelligent automation will give you the perfect, smart home.
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.
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.
Press and hold the Z-Wave button that you can find in back of the product for 20 seconds and then release.
The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix batteries of different charging level or different brands.
Choosing a Location for your MultiSensor
MultiSensor 6 can bring its intelligent readings to many locations of your home. Before deciding on a location, there are some things you should first consider.
MultiSensor 6"s motion sensor uses light and heat readings to determine motion; sudden light and heating changes can impact the sensor"s quality of motion readings. As such, your sensor should not be installed in areas of artificial temperature change. Thus, when selecting a location, avoid placing it beside or near air conditioners, humidifiers, and heaters, and avoid positioning it directly opposite a window or direct sunlight.
If your MultiSensor 6 will be powered by batteries, you should avoid installing it in a location where the temperature can drop below 0°C / 32°F - this is below the batteries" working point. Selecting a location for your sensor also depends on the layout of any area that you want monitored. Whatever the room or area, please ensure that it fits with your sensor"s effective motion sensing range as described in the following diagrams. If installing MultiSensor 6 on a ceiling it can take measurements within a 3 x 3 x 6 metre / 10 x 9 x 18 feet range:
If installing MultiSensor 6 in a corner where the wall meets the ceiling it can take measurements within a 2.5 x 3.5 x 5 metres / 8 x 11 x 15 feet range:
For optimal performance, your MultiSensor 6 should NOT be mounted directly on or near metal framing or other large metallic objects. Large metal objects may weaken the Z-Wave wireless signal MultiSensor 6 depends on for communication due to the wireless reflective properties of metal.
Physically install your MultiSensor.
With your MultiSensor 6 now a part of your Z-Wave network and having determined its installation location, it"s time to finish its physical installation. There are 2 ways that your MultiSensor 6 can be mounted on a wall or ceiling. Most simply it can be placed upon a shelf without the need to attach further accessories. You can mount your sensor in a corner or against a wall or ceiling by using the Back-Mount Plate. It"s also possible to embed your MultiSensor 6 within a ceiling or wall using its Recessor accessory (sold separately).
To install your MultiSensor 6:
1. You can affix the Back-Mount Arm by Double-Sided Tape or using the provided KA2.5×20 mm screws.
Tips: We suggest you choose the second method (using screws to affix the Back-Mount Arm) would be more stable.
2. After you have completed the affixing of Back-Mount Arm, you will need to lock the MultiSensor to the Back-Mount Arm by screwing the MultiSensor in.
3. The Back-Mount Arm may be locked at various angles by turning the Friction Lock clockwise and counter-clockwise to respectively tighten or loosen the angle of the arm. You can rotate the Friction Lock to change the measurement area of sensor.
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.
Advanced Functions.
Your MultiSensor has built in battery level detection. It will automatically report its battery level to the associated controller/gateway throughout its life until the battery is fully drained and needs replacing. The battery status will often be displayed in the user interface of the controller/ gateway. When used properly in an optimised Z-Wave network, your MultiSensor can be powered by batteries for 24 months before battery replacement is necessary.
Recommendation: For networks which do not offer a method to display
the battery level of your MultiSensor, it is recommended that the sensor be tested occasionally to ensure that the batteries still hold enough charge to operate. Batteries naturally lose their charge over time.
Outdoor installation.
Please note that when installed outdoors of your home, your MultiSensor should only be relied on for temperature, light, humidity, and ultraviolet readings, where as the motion sensing capabilities should be disabled on your gateway in order to avoid false motion readings. If selecting an outdoor location, it"s important to position your MultiSensor in a sheltered location. It is best if your MultiSensor is not directly exposed to rain, and is important that the humidity venting on your MultiSensor never is.
If you wish to use the Multisensor 6 outdoors, you will need to lower settings, and angle the Multisensor 6 accordingly as all environments will require different solutions or different settings for the motion sensor to work properly. Parameter 4 [1 byte] will determine the sensitivity of the motion sensor from a value range of 0 disabled to 5 max sensitivity (your ability to configure this setting will depend on the gateway used).
Testing Health Connectivity.
You can determine the health of your Multisensor 6s connectivity to your gateway using a manual button press, hold, and release function which is indicated by the LED color.
1. Press and hold the Multisensor 6 Action button
2. Wait until the RGB LED turns into a Purple Color
3. Release the Multisensor 6 Action Button
The RGB LED will blink its Purple color while sending ping messages to your gateway, when it has finished, it will blink 1 of 3 colors:
Red = Bad Health
Yellow = Moderate Health
Green = Great Health
Be sure to watch for the blink, as it will only blink once very quickly.
The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF execute the following action: Pressing the Z-Wave button once will trigger sending the Wake up notification command
This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device. To wakeup the device please perform the following action: Pressing the Z-Wave button once will trigger sending the Wake up notification command. If press and hold the Z-Wave button for 3 seconds, the MultiSensor will wake up for 10 minutes.
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
This device is capable of receiving a new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update: Wake up the 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.
Group Number | Maximum Nodes | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | 5 | Lifeline |
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.
