Chapter1 Introduction
Purpose
The (FiOS-ZBMod1) HAN module is a plug-in ZigBee controller for your FiOS-
BHR4 Gateway. It has an integrated antenna and is all you need for enabling
your Gateway to connect your SmartCloud system to supported ZigBee home
automation devices such as Motion Sensors, Thermostats, Alarm systems,
Smart lights and more.
More than 100 ZigBee Devices can be connected simultaneously through this
module.
Different types of HAN modules exist for connecting your SmartCloud solution to
other types of networks such as JenNet-IP or Wireless M-bus.
Chapter2 FrequentlyAskedQuestions
Q: What Devices are supported?
A: Many but not all ZigBee Devices are supported. Please visit our website (URL
here) to see the up-to-date list of supported Devices that can be connected to
your SmartCloud solution.
Q: What can supported Devices be used for?
A: That depends! Different kinds of Devices have different functions and
purposes.
A Motion Sensor for example is an "input" Device : It doesn't physically "do"
anything except "detect" motion and provide that detection as an information
signal to the rest of your SmartCloud system( and any Applications that you may
have installed.) There are many other kinds of sensors that detect or measure
different physical qualities such as humidity or temperature, or whether for
example a door or window has been left open.
Other kinds of Devices are not sensors at all - they don't measure anything.
Instead they "do" things to affect their environment in different ways. Examples
includes lamps and light bulbs (can turn light on and off), motorized blinds and
windows (opens and closes), air conditioners or furnaces (cools and heats).
The SmartCloud system lets you connect and control all these kinds of devices
and configure automatic linkages that for example reacts intelligently in response
to a signal - e.g. turn the lights in a room on when a motion sensor detects that
someone is present.
