Smart Station User Manual

1. Product Introduction

LifeSmart Smart Station is a gateway device used for IoT with functions of Ethernet, Z-Wave, RF communication. It can collect sensing data from various sensors and give instructions to end devices to perform certain actions, in order to allow you monitor, control and automate home environment remotely.

2. Product Illustration

The LifeSmart Smart Station is a rectangular gateway device. It features a Power Adapter Port (1) on one side, a Factory Default Reset Button (2), an Ethernet Port (3), and an Indicator Light (4). The Equipment Barcode and Serial Number (5) are located on the back.

3. Installation

Connect AC Adapter to the Gateway and plug it into AC outlet. The Gateway has no Power Switch. It will power up as soon as plugged in the AC Adapter. Then connect network cable to the Ethernet Port, start App to set up the Gateway. The DSK and QR code you may find on the back of the package and the back side of the product.

2. Add for Inclusion

This section details the process of adding a Z-Wave device using the LifeSmart mobile application. The app interface shows options to Add, Remove, and Learn devices. The process involves entering or scanning the DSK (Device Specific Key), which contains the HomeID and other identifiers. The app guides the user through selecting security levels, such as S2 Class 2 Access Control, and confirming the addition. A "Waiting..." indicator is shown during the process, followed by a confirmation of successful addition.

3. Remove for Exclusion

Upon successful addition, a "Congratulations!" message is displayed, allowing the user to name the new device. The section also covers the process of removing a device for exclusion. This involves navigating to the device list, selecting the specific device (e.g., "Door Lock Keypad"), and tapping the "Remove" option.

4. Copy for Replication

To replicate a device, perform the 'Add for inclusion' operation as described in part 2. Ensure the other gateway device has entered 'Learn mode' before proceeding.

5. Learn Mode

This section describes how to put the gateway into 'Learn mode' to allow other devices to be added to the network.

6. Factory Default Reset

Resetting the gateway can have consequences depending on its role. If it's the primary controller, resetting it will orphan network nodes, requiring re-inclusion. If it's a secondary controller, reset it only if the primary controller is unavailable.

7. Including Device into Existing Network

To include a device into an existing network, conduct the 'Learn' operation as mentioned in part 5. Ensure the other gateway device has entered 'Add' Mode.

8. Basic Command Class Handling

The Smart Station will ignore Basic Commands received from other devices on the Z-Wave network.

9. Devices from Multiple Manufacturers in One Network

The Smart Station supports Z-Wave networks with products from different manufacturers and categories, allowing for interoperability.

10. Association CC

Group ID: 1 - Lifeline

Maximum number of devices that can be added to the group: 5

All devices are associated with the group.

The app interface allows managing device associations. Users can select devices to add to specific groups, view device information including manufacturer ID, product type, generic and specific command classes, status, security level (S2), and RSSI. It also shows the process of selecting a device within a group.

11. Sending Controlled Commands

Commands are communicated using ACK, NAK, CAN, and Data frames to interact with the Z-Wave module. In the 'Device Detailed Information' page, users can select specific command classes like 'COMMAND_CLASS_DOOR_LOCK'. The app provides options for advanced control, such as setting 'Locked' status and inputting values. It also details command class parameters like 'Locked', 'Timeout Mode', and 'Outside Handle Control'.

12. BASIC Commands Possible Values and Behaviors

When 'Non-Secure' is chosen during device addition, BASIC command control is enabled. The value '0' typically indicates closing a door, while '255' indicates opening a door.

13. S2 Security CC

The Smart Station is a Security Enabled Z-Wave Plus Product, supporting both Security S2 and Security S0 protocols.
