1 WARNINGS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Push-Control is a compact, battery-powered, Z-Wave Plus® compatible device. It enables you to control devices through the Z-Wave network and run various scenes defined in Nice Home Management System (HMS).

Different actions can be triggered with one to five clicks or by holding the button down. In panic mode, each press of the button results in triggering the alarm defined in the Z-Wave hub.

Due to its small design and wireless communication, Push-Control can be conveniently mounted on any surface and in any position or location at home.

2.1 - Main features

2.2 - Full compatibility with Z-Wave Plus® devices

This device can be used with all devices accredited with the Z-Wave® Plus certificate and is compatible with such devices produced by other manufacturers. All non-battery operated devices within the network act as repeaters to increase reliability of the network. The device is a Security Enabled Z-Wave® Plus product and a Security Enabled Z-Wave® hub must be used to fully utilize the product.

Notes Removing the device restores all the default parameters of the device.

7 OPERATING THE DEVICE

7.1 - Operating the button

Depending on how and how many times Push-Control is pressed, it performs different actions listed in the table below:

Table 2 - Push-Control - Responses to button actions
Action Response
1 click send action to associated devices (switch on/off by default) and/or trigger a scene
2 clicks send action to associated devices (switch on maximum level by default) and/or trigger a scene
3 clicks send action to associated devices (no action by default) and/or trigger a scene
4 clicks wake the device up and/or trigger a scene
5 clicks start reset procedure (press and hold for 5 s to confirm) and/or trigger a scene
6 or more clicks learning mode (adding/removing)
Hold send action to associated devices (start level change up/down) and/or trigger a scene
Release send action to associated devices (stop level change) and/or trigger a scene

Notes If notifications are enabled, each press of the button results in sending a command (Notification Type=HOME_SECURITY, Event=Intrusion, Unknown Location).

7.2 - Waking up the device

Push-Control needs to be woken up to receive information from the hub, about the new configuration of parameters or associations. Click Push-Control four times to wake it up.

7.3 - Scene ID

Every action with Push-Control is send to the main hub with Scene ID equal to 1. The hub recognizes type of action using the attribute assigned to it.

Table 3 - Push-Control - Scene ID attributes sent
Action Attribute
1 click Key Pressed 1 time
2 clicks Key Pressed 2 times
3 clicks Key Pressed 3 times
4 clicks Key Pressed 4 times
5 clicks Key Pressed 5 times
Hold Key Held Down
Release Key Released

7.4 - Reset procedure of Push-Control

Reset procedure enables restoring the device back to its factory settings, which means all information about the Z-Wave hub and user configuration is deleted.

To reset the device:
  1. Click Push-Control exactly five times.
  2. Press and hold Push-Control for at least five seconds.

Note Resetting the device is not the recommended way of removing the device from the Z-Wave network. Use reset procedure only if the primary hub is missing or inoperable. Certain device removal can be achieved by the procedure of removing.

8 ASSOCIATIONS

Association (linking devices) - direct control of other devices, such as dimmers or roller shutters, within the Z-Wave system network. Association ensures direct transfer of control commands between devices, which is performed without participation of the main hub. The associated device needs to be in the direct range.

The device supports the generic Z-Wave command class "Basic" but ignores any SET or GET commands and responds with a Basic Report. The device provides the association of four groups listed in the table below.

Table 4 - Push-Control - Association groups
Association group Name Description
1st Lifeline Reports the device status and enables assigning a single device, the hub by default. Only one node can be assigned.
2nd On/Off Assigned to clicking the button and is used for turning on/off associated devices.
3rd Dimmer Assigned to to holding the button and is used to change level of associated devices
4th Alarm Assigned to clicking and/or holding the button (triggers are defined in parameter 30) and is used for sending alarm frames to associated devices.

Push-Control in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th group enables controlling five regular or multichannel devices per an association group, with the exception of "Lifeline" that is reserved solely for the hub and hence only one node can be assigned.

It isn't recommended to associate more than 10 devices in general, as the response time to control commands depends on the number of associated devices. In extreme cases, system response may be delayed.

9 ADVANCED PARAMETERS

Push-Control enables customizing its operation to user's needs. The settings are available in the interface of the Z-Wave hub. The settings can be adjusted using the Z-Wave hub which the device is added to. The way of adjusting them might differ depending on the hub.

Wake up interval

Push-Control wakes up at each defined time interval and always try to connect with the main hub. After a successful communication attempt, the device updates configuration parameters, associations and settings before going into Z-Wave communication standby.

After failed communication attempt (eg. no Z-Wave range) the device goes into Z-Wave communication standby and retry to establish connection with the main hub after the next time interval.

Setting wake up interval to 0 disables sending Wake Up notification to the hub automatically. Wake up may be still performed manually by clicking Push-Control 4 times.

A longer time interval means less frequent communication and thus longer battery life.

Available settings: 0 or 3600 - 64800 (in seconds, 1h - 18h)

Default setting: 0
