Installation Steps

1. Install the Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe adaptor in your embedded hardware.
2. Install Z-Way software.

The full potential of the Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe adaptor is realized when used with Z-Way software. To install Z-Way on your embedded hardware, visit https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/. Supported platforms include Debian/Ubuntu x64, Raspbian OS armhf (32 bits), FreeBSD (C library only), and Windows 32 bits.

Compatibility and Access

The Z-Wave & Zigbee/Thread mPCIe Adaptor is also compatible with third-party Z-Wave software that supports the Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API.

After successfully installing Z-Way, ensure your system is on the same local network as your embedded hardware. Access the Z-Way Web UI via a browser by entering http://IP:8083 in the address bar.

Privacy Note: By default, Z-Way connects to find.z-wave.me for remote access. This feature can be disabled in Z-Way via Main menu ➡️ Settings ➡️ Remote Access. All communications with find.z-wave.me are encrypted and protected by certificates.

User Interface

The "Smart Home" user interface is designed to be intuitive and simple, adapting its layout across various devices like desktops, smartphones, and tablets. Key interface elements include:

• Dashboard (1)
• Rooms (2)
• Widgets (3)
• Events (4)
• Quick Automation (5)
• Main Menu (6)
• Device Widgets (7)
• Widget Settings (8)

The Dashboard (1) displays favorite devices. Devices can be assigned to Rooms (2). A comprehensive list of all devices is available in Widgets (3). Sensor or relay triggers are shown in Events (4). Scenes, rules, schedules, and alarms are configured in Quick Automation (5). Apps and system settings are accessed via the Main Menu (6).

A single device, such as a 3-in-1 Multisensor, can offer multiple functions (e.g., motion, light, temperature sensing), each represented by separate widgets (7) with individual settings (8).

Advanced automation can be configured using local and online Apps. Apps enable rule creation (e.g., "IF > THEN"), scheduled scenes, and auto-off timers. They also support additional devices like IP cameras, Wi-Fi plugs, and EnOcean sensors, and integrations with Apple HomeKit, MQTT, and IFTTT. Over 50 applications are built-in, with more than 100 available from the Online Store. Applications are managed within the Main Menu ➡️ Apps.

[Description of UI Screenshot]: The Z-Wave Web UI displays a smart home dashboard with various control widgets for heating, LED strips, temperature, door locks, and luminosity. It shows the current time and IP address, along with navigation options for Rooms, Apps, Devices, and Settings.

Mobile App Z-Wave.Me

The Z-Wave.Me mobile application provides a similar smart home control experience on mobile devices. [Description of Mobile App Screenshots]: The mobile app interface shows a clean layout with control widgets for heating, LED strips, temperature, door locks, and luminosity, similar to the web UI. It includes a notification area and a bottom navigation bar. QR codes are visible for downloading the app from the App Store and Google Play.
