Z-Wave

The Z-Wave integration allows you to connect and control Z-Wave compatible devices directly through the nomos Controller.

A Z-Wave USB dongle is required for the direct connection of Z-Wave devices to the nomos Controller.

Since Z-Wave is a wireless protocol, it's important to pay attention to the physical placement of the controller. The nomos Controller (with Z-Wave USB dongle) should be placed centrally in the building to ensure optimal range and signal strength in all directions.

Important: Use a USB extension of at least 30 cm between the dongle and the nomos Controller.

Z-Wave Integration:

1. Activate Integration:

   • Click the on button to activate the Z-Wave integration.

2. Manage Devices:

   • This button opens a menu where you can manage the available Z-Wave devices. Here, you can add, edit, or restart the network scan to find hidden devices. When pairing devices, make sure to refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and user manuals for each product. Depending on the manufacturer, certain steps may need to be performed directly on the device.

3. Remove Device:

   • This option allows you to remove Z-Wave devices from the network. Make sure to correctly remove the device from the network before physically disconnecting it to avoid communication issues. Again, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions and user manuals for specific steps that may need to be done on the device itself.

4. Network Update:

   • This button is used to update the Z-Wave network. This can be helpful when new devices are added or when the positions of Z-Wave devices in the building change.

   • A network update can optimize the connection between the devices and the control center.

5. Reset:

   • This function completely resets the Z-Wave network and removes all added devices.

   • Warning: This function should only be used if all devices are removed and the network needs to be set up again, as all configurations will be deleted.

Notes:

• Z-Wave devices communicate through a mesh network, meaning each device can relay signals to other devices to extend the range.

• Before resetting the network, make sure to back up all important data.

• When making changes to the network, use the “Network Update” to optimize communication between the devices.
