Advanced features
6.1 Send wake up notifications
MATRIX ZBA is a battery-operated device and is turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery.
Communication with the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a controller is needed in the
network. This controller will maintain a mailbox for the battery-operated
devices and store commands that can’t be
received during deep sleep state. Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the
battery lifetime is significantly decreased.
This device will wake up every 6 hours and announce the wake-up state by sending out a so-called Wake Up
Notification. The controller can then empty the mailbox.
The wake-up interval is a trade-off between maximal battery lifetime and the desired responses of the device.
The device will stay awake right after inclusion for 10 seconds allowing the controller to perform certain
configuration. It is possible to manually wake up the device by double-activating the button (I).
6.2 Controlling light dimmers
The four pushbuttons on MATRIX ZBA can send different Z-Wave commands to light-dimmer devices, when the
devices are added to the corresponding association groups, i.e. the association groups that are used for
transmitting Command Class Switch Multilevel messages.
There is one association group for each of the four pushbuttons that the associated devices must be added to,
when commands are requested to be sent to a specific device.
When a pushbutton is held down, then a Command Class Switch Multilevel Start is sent to associated device, and
when the button is released, a Command Class Switch Multilevel Stop is sent. The internal status of the switch
decides whether the Start command contains a dim up or a dim down command.
