WADWAZ-1 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device WADWAZ-1, manufactured by Linear Corp with the thing type UID of linear_wadwaz1_00_000.
The device is in the category of Door, defining Door sensors.
The WADWAZ-1 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.
The WADWAZ-1 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the Wakeup Information section below for further information.
Linear Z-Wave products are easy to install, and allow dealers to create an integrated wireless network with nearly limitless expansion and interoperability with security and health monitoring systems, energy management, home entertainment, appliances, and more.
The WADWAZ-1 sensor monitors a door or window and sends Z-Wave signals when the door is opened or closed.
Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this module under the command of the Wireless Controller.
- Unscrew the screw fastening the rear cover and slide the rear cover down.
- Insert a CR123A battery into the battery compartment and LED will start to fl ash slowly, which means the sensor has not yet performed “inclusion” with the Controller.
- Prepare the Controller to include a unit to the network by adding it to a group (method of adding a node to the network). Refer to the Controller instructions.
- If your Controller supports Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) locate the WADWAZ-1 near the proposed installation location. If not skip to Step 6.
- With your Controller in Inclusion mode, you should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network. It should display binary switch / Linear. The LED will stop blinking. Skip to Step 9. If the LED does not stop blinking, relocate the WADWAZ-1 to within 100 feet (line of sight) of a Z-Wave device or your hub and repeat Step 5. If the LED continues to blink, your Controller does not support NWI and continue with Step 6.
- Place the WADWAZ-1 within 3 feet of the Controller.
- With your Controller in Inclusion mode, depress the Program switch for 1 second then release.
- You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was included” in the network. It should display binary switch / Linear. The LED will stop blinking.
- The device will appear in the list of Switches
NOTE: If you have trouble adding the WADWAZ-1 to a group it may be that the Home ID and Node ID were not cleared from it after testing. You must first “RESET UNIT” with your Controller to remove it from the network. Although adding it to a group includes it in the network, removing it from a group does not remove it from the network. If removed from a group, it functions as a repeater (only). “RESET UNIT” removes it completely from the network
For “Exclusion” from (removing from) a network:
- Set up the Z-WaveTM Interface Controller into “exclusion” mode, and following its instruction to delete the WADWAZ-1 from the Controller.
- Press the Program switch of WADWAZ-1 for 1 second and release to be excluded. The LED light will fl ash continuously when the sensor is in the Exclusion condition.
The WADWAZ-1 does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour.
The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device.
Open and then closed the cover to wakeup the device. This will also trigger the tamper alarm, which needs to be turned off manually.
The following table summarises the channels available for the WADWAZ-1 -:
| Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sensor (Binary) | sensor_door | Door | Contact |
| Sensor (Alarm) | alarm_entry | Door | Switch |
| Tamper Alarm | alarm_tamper | Switch | |
| Sensor (External Switch) | sensor_binary | Door | Switch |
| Battery Level | battery-level | Battery | Number |
Indicates if the door/window is open or closed.
The sensor_door channel supports the Contact item and is in the Door category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Contact item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OPEN | Open |
| CLOSED | Closed |
Indicates if the entry alarm is triggered.
The alarm_entry channel supports the Switch item and is in the Door category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| ON | Open |
| OFF | Closed |
Indicates if the tamper alarm is triggered.
The alarm_tamper channel supports the Switch item. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| OFF | OK |
| ON | Alarm |
Indicates if a sensor has triggered.
The sensor_binary channel supports the Switch item and is in the Door category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following state translation is provided for this channel to the Switch item type -:
| Value | Label |
|---|---|
| ON | Triggered |
| OFF | Untriggered |
Represents the battery level as a percentage (0-100%). Bindings for things supporting battery level in a different format (e.g. 4 levels) should convert to a percentage to provide a consistent battery level reading.
The battery-level channel supports the Number item and is in the Battery category.
The device has no configuration parameters defined.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The WADWAZ-1 supports 1 association group.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
