Installation

1. Power the Sensor

Use the provided triangle tool to gently open the sensor's cover and access the battery. Pull the tab from under the battery to activate the sensor. The LED indicator will start blinking for approximately 10 seconds once the sensor is powered.

Troubleshooting Power: If the LED indicator does not blink or light up:

Ensure the battery is inserted correctly, observing positive (+) and negative (-) pole markings.
Try a fresh, non-rechargeable lithium battery.
Click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly to force inclusion/exclusion mode if the initial flash was missed.

Z-Wave Control

1. Add Device to Your Hub

Initiate inclusion (pairing) within your hub's app or web interface. If using an S2 hub, you will be prompted to enter the DSK PIN or scan the QR code found inside the sensor's battery cover to complete SmartStart inclusion.

While the hub is searching for new devices, click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible. The LED indicator will flash to confirm inclusion mode and turn off upon successful completion.

Tip: For optimal pairing, add the sensor from its intended installation location to ensure the hub establishes the best communication route.

Supported Hubs: SmartThings, Hubitat, Vera, Home Assistant.

Troubleshooting

Sensor Not Adding to System

Initiate EXCLUSION mode on your hub and click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly.
Click the Z-Wave button more rapidly when attempting to add.
Move the sensor closer to your hub if it might be out of range.
Verify the device is powered.
Consult www.support.getzooz.com for hub-specific troubleshooting.

Exclusion (Remove Device)

Bring the sensor within direct range of your Z-Wave hub.
Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (contact ask@getzooz.com for assistance if unsure).
Click the Z-Wave button 3 times as quickly as possible.
Your hub will confirm exclusion, and the sensor will be removed from the device list.

Factory Reset

If the network's primary controller is inoperable, manually reset the device. Ensure the sensor is powered, then click the Z-Wave button twice and hold it on the third click for 10 seconds. The LED indicator will blink continuously. Immediately after, click the Z-Wave button twice more to finalize the reset. The LED indicator will flash 3 times to confirm a successful reset.

Note: A factory reset erases all recorded activity and custom settings.

Wake-Up Mode

The sensor's default wake-up interval is 12 hours to conserve battery. You can adjust this using the Wake Up Command Class. To manually wake the sensor, click the Z-Wave button 4 times quickly; the LED indicator will flash twice. During wake-up, the Z-Wave radio remains active for one minute to receive hub communications. A longer wake-up interval does not affect reporting frequency, so the default setting is recommended for battery conservation.

Association

The XS Sensor supports Group 1 for Lifeline communication. Groups 2-5 can each include up to 5 devices for basic on/off control. Use Group 2 for high temperature alerts, Group 3 for low temperature alerts, Group 4 for high humidity alerts, and Group 5 for low humidity alerts. Refer to parameters 5-8 for threshold settings.

Note that direct association settings may not be accessible on all Z-Wave systems. Contact support for assistance.

Advanced Settings

Access advanced settings via your hub. For a complete list of parameters, visit www.support.getzooz.com.

Parameter 2 (Low Battery Reporting Threshold): Sets the battery percentage at which the sensor reports low battery. Values: 10-50%. Default: 5. Size: 1 byte decimal.
Parameter 3 (Temperature Reporting Threshold): Sets the temperature difference required for a new report. Values: 10-100 (where 10 equals 1 degree). Default: 20. Size: 1 byte decimal.
Parameter 4 (Humidity Reporting Threshold): Sets the humidity difference required for a new report. Values: 1-50%. Default: 10. Size: 1 byte decimal.
Parameter 16 (Temperature Reporting Interval): Sets the minimum interval for temperature reports. Values: 0 (disable) to 480 minutes. Default: 240 minutes. Size: 2 byte decimal.
Parameter 17 (Humidity Reporting Interval): Sets the minimum interval for humidity reports. Values: 0 (disable) to 480 minutes. Default: 240 minutes. Size: 2 byte decimal.

Click the Z-Wave button 4 times quickly to wake the sensor after updating settings.

Mounting

Indoor Mounting

Include the sensor to your Z-Wave network from its intended installation location before mounting.
Place the sensor on a dry, clean surface. Use the supplied adhesive tape to secure it, ensuring the battery slot and sensor perforations face downwards.
Test the sensor overnight to confirm accurate temperature and humidity reporting according to your settings. Allow up to 48 hours for the sensor to acclimate to the environment before evaluating readings.

Outdoor Mounting

For best results, install outdoors under an eave using the snap-on mounting bracket (sold separately).

Add the sensor to your Z-Wave network from the installation area before mounting.
Use the supplied screws to fix the mounting bracket to a dry, clean surface near the desired monitoring spot.
Insert the sensor into the bracket; it should snap securely into place. Ensure the sensor perforations point downwards.

Battery Power Tip

This sensor uses a coin battery with lower capacity than typical lithium CR batteries. Battery readings may fluctuate when the sensor is active during programming or testing. Stable readings usually return within a few hours. Allow one to two days after the first low reading before assessing the actual remaining battery life.
