Appendix 1: Terminology
Nodes, Controllers and Home Control Groups
Nodes
are controllers or slaves based on their Role Type.
The term
Unknown device
refers to:
1) Devices that belong to a Home Control Group but are not supported by an ZL-100.
2) Devices that do not fit into any of the Home Control Groups managed by the ZL-100.
3) Devices that fit into any of the Home Control Groups managed by the ZL-100 but we do
n’t know it’s
manufacturer.
As a Universal Controller, the ZL-100 controls Basic Command Class and thus it can send Basic ON/OFF
commands to turn ON/OFF every individual Unknown Device.
Note: Unknown Devices can only be controlled with Basic ON/OFF commands.
Note: Controller devices can also be handled as Unknown Devices if they do not fit into any of the Home
Control Groups managed by ZL-100.
Home Control Groups
(HCG) are logical groups with various Z-Wave Plus Device Types mapped in
them.
Controllers
are designed to control one or more Home Control Groups. They are classified as either
Dedicated or Universal.
●
A Dedicated Controller
must only control one Home Control Group. It may control Unknown
Devices via the Basic Command Class, and the optional implemented controlled command
classes in the controller.
●
A Universal Controller
controls multiple Home Control Groups. It MUST be able to control
Unknown Devices with the Basic Command Class together with the optional implemented
controlled command classes. It MUST provide individual control of Unknown Devices that have
been included in the network.
Note
: All controls for sending Controlled Commands are displayed in the ZL-100 web interface
according to the type/role the device reports to the ZL-100. For example, for Switch devices
the “Switch”
control graphic is displayed, and for Dimmers - the
“Dimmer” control graphic is displayed etc.
