Not listening Routing SLAVE
This Z-Wave product will be used as routing slave. Slave nodes are nodes in a Z-Wave network that receive
commands and perform actions based on the command. This device will always be in sleep mode because it
works on batteries. In sleep mode the device is not active listening, the device will wake up according to the
wakeup command class.
Include Initiator
The include initiator is used when Primary and Inclusion Controllers include nodes into the network. When
both the include initiator have been activated simultaneously the new node will be included to the network (if
the node was not included previously).
Exclude Initiator
The exclude initiator is used by Primary and Inclusion Controllers to exclude nodes from the network. When
the exclude initiator and a slave initiator are activated simultaneously, it will result in the slave being excluded
from the network (and reset to Node ID zero). Even if the slave was not part of the network it will still be reset
by this action.
Z-Wave compatibility
Because this is a Z-Wave device, it means it can co-operate with other Z-Wave devices of other manufacturers.
It can co-exist in a Z-Wave network existing with product from other manufacturers.
Hops & Retries
The Z-Wave range has a range of up to 30 meters in line of sight. This signal is not limited to the 30 meter
range due to routing the Z-Wave message to other nodes in the network. This way the range of the Z-Wave
network can be expanded to 150 meters indoors (limit of 4 hops).
class: 0x63 COMMAND_CLASS_USER_CODE
The purpose of the User Code Command Class is to configure the
TagReader
to accept certain RFID Tags or
codes. This is typically done by some kind of static controller or gateway (for instance the BeNeXt myGate).
After sending a User Code Set, including a unique User Identifier (UID), the in-use state (0x01) and the Tag
code or keypad sequence using ASCII codes, the
TagReader
will accept the codes and notify any other device
using the Alarm Command Class.
This other device can be configured using the Association Command Class and is typically the same controller
or gateway.
When a tag or code is not known to the
TagReader
, it will send an unsolicited report to the devices in its
association group with the UID 0x00. The value in this message can be used to configure new tags.
Note:
Code length must be 4 to 10 ASCII digits.
class: 0x86 COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION
This Command Class is used to obtain information about the
TagReader
. The Z-Wave library type, the Z-Wave
protocol version and the application version will be reported.
class: 0x72 COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V2
This will report information about the manufacturer. This product will contain the manufacturer ID of
BeNeXt
.
