Z-Wave Battery Tip

We recommend Lithium-based batteries (such as the Energizer Lithium Ultimate AAAs) for all Z-Wave devices. Although more expensive, the improved life/performance is well worth the money.

Z-Stick

Adding Z-Wave Devices with a Z-Stick

  1. Before you can add devices, you must install the Z-Stick
  2. Disconnect the Z-Stick from the system
  3. Press the blue-ringed button on the stick for several seconds to put it in Delete Mode – rapid blink
  4. At the first device, press the button on the device to delete it from the stick. (Do this even if you have not added the device to the stick yet.)
  5. Press the blue-ringed button to turn off delete mode, then press the button again to put the Z-Stick in Add Mode – slow blink
  6. At the same device, press the button on the device to add it to the stick – the blue ring will go solid
  7. Repeat steps 3 - 6 for each device
  8. Plug the Z-Stick back into the system
  9. On the touchscreen:
  • Press the System (Gear) button
  • Enter the 4-digit System PIN (which is set, and can be viewed, on the Advanced Settings screen in the Care Menu)
  • Press "Devices"
  • Press the "Scan Zwave Network" button - the scan will start automatically
  • Some devices may show up as "Unknown Device" - these may have gone back to sleep. Press the program button on the device again, then click the Unknown Device on the Devices screen, and click the "Rescan" button.

Z-Troller

Adding Z-Wave Devices with a Z-Troller

  1. Before you can add devices, you must install the Z-Troller
  2. At the first device, press and hold Delete on the Z-Troller and press the program button on the device. The Z-Troller should flash "done."
  3. Press and hold Add/Scan on the Z-Troller and press the program button on the device. The Z-Troller should give you the node ID of the device.
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each device
