Special Operations as Z-Wave Controller
As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network as primary controller. As a primary controller the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage associations, and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller functions are supported:
Inclusion of other devices
Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same wireless network. Joining a network is called inclusion and is initiated by a controller. The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the inclusion - typically by pressing a button.
If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and any other secondary controller can also include and exclude devices.
To become primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.
- Select "Device" within the Vera Lites menu.
- Confirm the button "Add Device".
- Confirm the button "Add Z-Wave Devices".
- Confirm the inclusion at the device. See the devices manuals for details how to include them at the icon I.
- The new device now should appear on the user interface.
If the inclusion fails maybe it is already included in a different Z-Wave network. You can exclude the device and repeat the steps for inclusion.
Exclusion of other devices
The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During exclusion the relationship between the device and the network of this controller is terminated. No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can happen after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the exclusion mode. Once in this exclusion mode the other device needs to confirm the exclusion - typically by pressing a button.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into factory default status. This process can also exclude devices from it's previous network.
- Select "Device" within the Vera Lites menu.
- Confirm the button "Add Devices".
- Confirm the button "Advanced Z-Wave Devices".
- Confirm the button "Remove one".
- Confirm the exclusion at the device. See the devices manuals for details how to include them at the icon I.
- The device now should disappear on the user interface.
