ZW117 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device ZW117, manufactured by AEON Labs with the thing type UID of aeon_zw117_00_000.
The device is in the category of Power Outlet, defining Small devices to be plugged into a power socket in a wall which stick there.
The ZW117 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network.
Aeotec Range Extender is a Z-Wave mesh network repeater which can extend the range of communication between Z-Wave products and assist other devices to reach each other in your Z-Wave network. The Range Extender can also communicate securely via AES 128 wireless Z-Wave commands and supports Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware upgrades.
Aeotec Range Extender 6 has been crafted to power connected lighting using Z-Wave Plus (http://aeotec.com/z-waveplus).
It is powered by Aeotec’s Gen5 (http://aeotec.com/z-wave-gen5) technology. You can find out more about Range
Extender 6 (http://aeotec.com/z-wave-repeater) by following that link.
To see whether Range Extender 6 is known to be compatible with your Z-Wave system or not, please reference our
Z-Wave gateway comparison (http://aeotec.com/z-wave-gateways) listing. The technical specifications of Range
Extender 6 (https://aeotec.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/6000166773-range-extender-6-technical-specifications-) can be
viewed at that link.
Please read this and other device guides carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations set forth by Aeotec Limited
may be dangerous or cause a violation of the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor, and/or reseller will not be
held responsible for any loss or damage resulting from not following any instructions in this guide or in other materials.
Range Extender 6 is intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do not use in damp, moist, and/or wet locations.
Getting your Range Extender up and running is as simple as plugging it into a wall outlet and adding it to your Z-Wave
network. To set your Z-Wave controller/gateway into pairing mode, please refer to the respective section within your
controller instruction manual.
- Decide on where you want your Range Extender to be placed and then plug it into a wall outlet.
- Set your Z-Wave Controller into pairing mode.
- Press the Z-Wave Button on your Range Extender and quickly release the button (should only be a quick tap
action on the button) and its LED will blink green rapidly (green indicates insecure pairing, if you want to pair
securely, please refer to Enabling Security Encryption section in the Advanced Function section). - If Range Extender has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its LED will be solid for 2 seconds
then turn off. If the adding was unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for 2 seconds and then remain colorful gradient
status, repeat the steps from step 1.
Your Range Extender can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave
network’s main controller. To set your Z-Wave controller/gateway into removal mode, please refer to the respective
section within your controller instruction manual.
- Set your Z-Wave Controller into device removal mode.
- Press the Z-Wave Button on your Range Extender.
- If Range Extender has been successfully removed from your network, its RGB LED will remain colorful gradient
status. If the removal was unsuccessful, the RGB LED will still be solid, repeat the steps above.
There are a few LED indications that you will need to pay attention to for the Range Extender 6.
- Rainbow LED - unpaired from a network and ready to be paired to a new network
While paired to an existing network.
- LED OFF - pair to your network.
- LED Blinks once - This is indication when your Repeater has received or repeated a command.
In order to take full advantage of all functionality the Range Extender, you may want your Range Extender is a
security device that uses secure/encrypted message to communicate in your Z-Wave network, so a security enabled
controller/gateway is needed.
- Set your Z-Wave security controller/gateway into pairing mode.
- Press the Z-Wave Button 2 times within 1 second and its LED will blink blue (which indicates secure pairing).
- If the Range Extender has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its blue LED will be solid for 2
seconds and then be off. Otherwise, repeater the steps above.
NOTE - This health detection function is only good for determining direct connection to the gateway (within
communication distance to your gateway without any other repeater nodes).
You can determine the health of your Range Extender 6s connectivity to your gateway using a manual button press,
hold, and release function which is indicated by the LED color.
- Press and hold Range Extender 6 Action button
- Wait until the RGB LED turns into a Purple Color
- Release Range Extender 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.
If at some stage, your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may wish to reset all of your Range Extender’s
settings to their factory defaults. This test will attempt to directly communicate to your gateway, so if it is far away or
requires another repeater to communicate to your gateway, this test would not work (it will show red if there is no direct
communication possible to your gateway). To do this:
- Press and hold the Z-Wave Button for 20 seconds to completely factory reset your Range Extender 6.
- During the time that you are holding your Range Extender 6 action button down, the LED will blink through
these colors:- Yellow (at 2 seconds)
- Purple (at 5 seconds)
- Red (at 8 seconds) //initializing factory reset.
- Green (at 20 seconds) //factory reset complete.
- Rainbow LED //ready to be paired to a new gateway.
- You may let go when the LED turns green.
Your Range Extender will now be reset to its original settings, and the green LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then
remain the colorful gradient status as a confirmation.
