WD500Z5-1 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device WD500Z5-1, manufactured by Linear Corp with the thing type UID of linear_wd500z5_00_000.
The device is in the category of Wall Switch, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch.
The WD500Z5-1 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.
The WD500Z5-1 is an in-wall lighting dimmer switch designed to operate with LED, halogen and incandescent lights. Not only can this switch control the connected load, with Central Scene support it can run up to 6 scenes created by the Hub it is the most versatile Home Automation light switch available. With OTA upgrading supported, this light switch may be the last one ever installed in a home.
Adding to a Network:
Refer to your Controller operating instructions to add this switch under the command of the Wireless Controller.
- With your Controller in Discovery or Add Mode, tap the switch. The LED will blink slowly when in ADD Mode.
- You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was added” to the network and the LED will stop blinking.
- The device will appear in the list of Switches. It should display as a switch.
If the Controller/Gateway shows the addition failed, repeat Steps 1-3.
Removing from a Network:
The GoControl Dimmer can be removed from the network by the Controller/Gateway. Refer to the Controller operating instructions for details.
- Set the Controller into Removal Mode and follow its instruction to delete the GoControl Dimmer from the Controller.
- Remove the switch by tapping the paddle 2 times. The LED will begin blinking slowly for 10 seconds indicating that it has been removed.
- You should see an indication on your Controller that the “device was removed” from the network.

This parameter has the configuration ID switchall_mode and is of type INTEGER.
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 WD500Z5-1 supports 3 association groups.
The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
Basic ON/OFF commands
Association group 2 supports 5 nodes.
Multilevel Switch commands
Association group 3 supports 5 nodes.
