What is Z-Wave™?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication). Every mains-powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) if the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin, as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication, it will communicate securely with other devices as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise, it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

SmartStart

Available in selected Z-Wave Plus™ devices built upon 500 series technology and all devices built upon 700 series technology, SmartStart lets you set up Z-Wave devices in seconds. Using SmartStart-enabled apps, simply scan the QR code on any compatible app to connect it to your Z-Wave gateway.

Product Description

The AEOTEC Door/Window Sensor 7 Pro is a sensor that detects if your window is opened, closed, or tilted. The sensor is easily retrofittable. Furthermore, the AEOTEC Door/Window Sensor can include other sensors by being connected with other binary sensors like NTC contacts, microswitches, or flood sensors.

Thanks to its slim design, the AEOTEC Door/Window Sensor 7 Pro can be installed unobtrusively on any window. The sensor is installed on the window casement, and a slim magnet is installed closely to the sensor on the window frame. Using a patented method, the sensor can reliably detect the exact position of the window.

With the potential-free input, the Door/Window Sensor can also include other sensors in your Z-Wave system. The binary sensor is connected to the potential-free input of the sensor. Besides sensors, momentary switches can also be connected to control scenes in your gateway.

Tripple-clicking the tamper button includes (adds) and excludes (removes) the device. A single click on the button wakes up the device. The device supports the Z-Wave Security S2 framework with authenticated and unauthenticated network keys. Please follow the instructions on the central controller when including. The device also supports SmartStart.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

To include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network, it must be in a factory default state. Please ensure the device is reset to factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller can perform this operation; however, it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to ensure the device is properly excluded from that network.

Reset to factory default

This device can also be reset without the involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Once the cover is removed and the tamper switch is tripped, push the tamper for 5 seconds until the RED LED blinks once. Then release the tamper and push it again for 5 seconds while the RED LED is blinking until the GREEN LED blinks once.

Safety Warning for Batteries

The product contains batteries. Please remove the batteries when the device is not used. Do not mix batteries of different charge levels or different brands.

Installation

The sensor can be mounted either on the moving part or on the fixed part of a door or a window. Mounting can be accomplished using the included tape (by peeling off the protection foil) or using two screws with the holes inside the battery compartment.

If tilt detection on a window (only normal windows, not roof windows) is to be used, the sensor device must be placed on the moving part of the window, and the magnet on the window frame.

Magnets

The sensor comes with two types of magnets:

• Standard magnet: Covered by a plastic part, mountable beside the sensor. Ensure the two indicating lines on the sensor enclosure and the magnet are opposite each other. An illustration shows the relative position of the magnet and sensor body.
• Slim naked magnet: To be mounted behind the sensor if the sensor body is placed on the side of a window.

To use the tilting function, the opening angle of the window must be at least 5°.

For German-style windows where the window sits on top of the window frame, mounting on the side of the window is highly recommended. If tilting detection is not used, the sensor can be placed on any position of the door or window. If tilting detection is desired, the sensor should be placed on the upper side of the window.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default, the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices on that network. This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network, which is put into exclusion or inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion are then performed by performing a special manual action on the device.

Inclusion

1. Open the housing.
2. Remove the battery protection.
3. Press the tamper on the side of the appliance three times quickly.

Exclusion

1. Open the housing.
2. Press the tamper on the side of the appliance three times quickly.

Product Usage

Once installed, the sensor will report "open" and "close" status changes to a central Z-Wave controller using notification commands. Additionally, the sensor can directly control other devices using association group 2. Using configuration commands, the source of "open" and "close" events can be chosen between the internal magnet detector or an external dry contact connected via the screw terminal. The device is protected by a tamper switch.

Tilt detection

The tilt detection allows reporting how a window is opened. This is accomplished using the command class "binary sensor - tilt-type". If the window is closed or opened without tilting, the tilt sensor will report "Off". If the window is tilted, an "On" is reported. The angle of inclination of the window must be at least 5°.

Screw Terminal

The product supports the interconnection of external binary sensors, actuators, and dry-contacts via 3-pin screw terminals with the following pinout:

• #1: Ground
• #2: Digital Input
• #3: VCC (direct battery supply)

VCC + Ground terminals can be used to externally power the sensor with a 3.6V battery or a special power adapter (not included). Digital + VCC is used to connect the external dry contact.

Link testing

When activated by configuration parameter #5, the device can perform a link test with device No.1. Double-clicking the tamper will start the process. As a result, the GREEN LED will blink twice in case of success, and the RED LED will blink twice in case of failure.

Scene Controller

When activated by configuration parameter #14, the device can perform as a scene controller. Digital + VCC is used to connect the scene button. The external dry contact will then act as a scene controller with a total of 7 scenes that can be activated:

• 1 - Contact Pressed 1 time
• 2 - Contact Pressed 2 times
• 3 - Contact Pressed 3 times
• 4 - Contact Pressed 4 times
• 5 - Contact Pressed 5 times
• 6 - Contact held down
• 7 - Contact released

The device sends the following notifications to the central controller:

• Window Opened (0x06 - 0x16)
• Window Closed (0x06 - 0x17)
• Tamper Removed (0x07 - 0x03)

The device sends the following sensor binary reports to the controller:

• Tilt (0x0B)

Node Information Frame

The Node Information Frame (NIF) is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and its technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device are confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. It may also be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame. To issue a NIF, execute the following action: Press the tamper once.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things do not work as expected:

1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt, exclude before including.
2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise, you will see severe delays.
4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
5. Do not poll FLIRS devices.
6. Ensure you have enough mains-powered devices to benefit from the meshing.

Firmware-Update over the Air

This device is capable of receiving new firmware 'over the air'. The update function needs to be supported by the central controller. Once the controller starts the update process, perform the following action to confirm the firmware update: Wake up the device by removing the cover. Then hit the tamper switch once.

Association - one device controls another device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. To control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and are always related to certain events (e.g., button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). When an event happens, all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

Association Groups:

Configuration Parameters

Z-Wave products are supposed to work out of the box after inclusion; however, certain configurations can adapt the function better to user needs or unlock further enhanced features.

IMPORTANT: Controllers may only allow configuring signed values. To set values in the range 128...255, the value sent in the application shall be the desired value minus 256. For example: To set a parameter to 200, it may be needed to set a value of 200 minus 256 = minus 56. In case of a two-byte value, the same logic applies: Values greater than 32768 may need to be given as negative values.
