Glossary
Device or Node
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe
an individual Z
Wave device. These are all
interchangeable when setting up your Z-
Wave network.
Inclusion
Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion
Delete a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove
To take a device out of a group, scene or
association group while that device still
exists in the same Z-Wave network.
Z-Wave
Network
A collection of Z-Wave devices controlled
by primary and secondary controllers
operating on the same system. A Z-Wave
network has its own unique ID code so that
controllers not in the network cannot control
the system.
Primary
Controller
The first controller used to set up your
devices and network. Only the Primary
Controller can be used to include or delete
modules from a network. It is recommended
that you mark the primary controller for each
network for ease in modifying your network.
Secondary
Controller
A controller containing network information
about other modules within the network and
is used for controlling devices. Secondary
controller is created from the Primary
Controller and cannot include or delete
modules to the network.
Inclusion
Controller
A controller containing network information
about other modules within the network and
is used for controlling devices. Inclusion
controller is created from the Primary
Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network.
Inclusion Controller has the ability to add
and remove devices from the network.
Scene
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured
to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or
perform an operation. Scenes are usually
activated by a controller, timed event, or
specific conditions.
