HomeSeer HS-DS100+ Z-Wave Door / Window Sensor
Overview
The HomeSeer HS-DS100+ is a battery-operated sensor designed to issue Z-Wave commands when doors or windows are opened or closed. It can be associated directly with other Z-Wave devices or used with a variety of Z-Wave hubs and controllers to trigger events, scenes, and other automations.
Operation
The HS-DS100+ consists of a sensor body and a magnet piece. The sensor body is typically installed on a door or window jamb, while the magnet piece is installed on the door or window itself. When the door or window is closed, the magnet trips a switch inside the sensor body, issuing a Z-Wave command. When the door or window is opened, the switch is tripped again, issuing another Z-Wave command.
Physical Arrangement: The sensor body attaches to the jamb, and the magnet attaches to the door/window. A gap of no more than 10mm should be maintained between the sensor body and magnet when the door/window is closed to ensure proper operation.
Physical Installation
The sensor body and magnet piece must be mounted to the door or window, either vertically or horizontally, using the provided screws or double-stick tape. Ensure a gap of no wider than 10mm to allow the door or window to open and close easily without obstruction.
To mount using screws:
- Press the latch button on the sensor body and gently pry off the backing plate (this plate can be difficult to remove).
- Use a small slotted screwdriver to remove the backing plate from the magnet piece.
- Mount the backing plates of the sensor body and magnet pieces first.
The sensor body features a Z-Wave button, a latch button, a tamper switch, and an LED indicator. It requires two AAA 1.5V batteries.
Z-Wave Network Installation
The Door/Window Sensor can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices. Non-battery operated nodes within the network act as repeaters, enhancing network reliability.
Inclusion (Adding to your Z-Wave network)
- Ensure AAA batteries are installed and any battery compartment plastic is removed.
- Put your home automation controller into 'inclusion' mode (consult your system's manual).
- Triple-click the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body and wait for the process to finish.
- A successful inclusion is indicated by the sensor body LED blinking briefly and then staying on for 3 seconds. An unsuccessful attempt results in the LED blinking briefly and turning off; repeat the inclusion process if this occurs.
Note: A security-enabled Z-Wave controller is required for secure/encrypted Z-Wave communications.
Exclusion (Removing from your Z-Wave network)
- Put your home automation controller into 'exclusion' mode (consult your system's manual).
- Triple-click the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body. A successful exclusion is indicated by the LED turning off within 1 second. If the LED blinks for 5 seconds, the exclusion was unsuccessful; repeat the process.
Reset (Factory Defaults)
If the network primary controller is missing or inoperable, reset the HS-DS100+ to factory default settings:
- Press and hold the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body for 20 seconds. The LED will remain on until the button is released.
Z-Wave Association Information
The HS-DS100+ supports Group 1 and Group 2 associations. Group 1 reports the sensor's condition, battery level, and tamper state. Group 2 sends the BASIC SET command.
Battery Information
The HS-DS100+ reports its battery condition every 24 hours. A battery level report can also be manually triggered by pressing the Z-Wave button.
S2 Security
The HS-DS100+ supports Z-Wave S2 security in unauthenticated mode.
