Advanced Z-Wave Tasks 

This chapter is for Advanced Users only. 

The PowerNodes communicate wirelessly with the Gateway by use of Z-Wave mesh networking, which is 
a robust connection technology designed for home automation with security and privacy. The more Z-
Wave compatible devices installed in your home, the better coverage your energy management system 
will have. As a Z-Wave enabled device, the PowerNode is compatible with Z-Wave enabled networks and 
hardware from other manufacturers. 

Remove PowerNode from Network 

A PowerNode that has been previously used with a different Z-Wave network must have its association 
(homeID) with the other network removed before you can connect it to your energy management system. 
This process is called “exclusion” and requires you to perform steps with both the Gateway and the 
PowerNode. 

To complete the exclusion process, verify that your Gateway is plugged in and working, and then perform 
the following steps: 

1. 

Move the PowerNode close to the Gateway to ensure a strong radio signal. 

2. 

Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. When the PowerNode is powered, its activity 
indicator turns white. 

 

3. 

On the

 

Gateway

,

 press and hold the 

Sync

 button until the activity indicator begins to display a 

counter-clockwise rotating pattern.  

 

The Gateway is ready to perform the exclusion of the PowerNode. 

4. 

On the PowerNode, press and hold the 

Sync

 button for approximately one second until the 

PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a counter-clockwise rotating pattern. The 
PowerNode is attempting exclusion.
