8. Once you see the list of plug-ins, click the check box to the left of the plug-ins that you want to install. (You may
check more than one at a time.)
9. After you have selected the plug-ins you wish to
install, a Download and Install button will appear.
Click this button to proceed with the install.
10. You will be given a progress bar under the Installed
Plug-ins section indicating the status of the install.
11. You must now Enable your plug-ins to use them. Once
they are enabled they will be available to configure.
Some plug-ins will require you to enter a COM port
before going into the configuration pages.
12. To get to the configuration pages, go back to the top
where the plug-ins menu is and you will see a list of
your installed plug-ins. Within each plug-in there is
another menu that has a link to the configuration

STEP #4 – Adding a Z-Wave Controller
In order to control Z-Wave devices, such as light switches, thermostats, door locks and sensors, they must be added
into a Z-Wave “network”. Follow the steps below to add your Z-Wave controller and create a Z-Wave network. For a more
visual walkthrough, click here (http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=162907).
a) Go to the Plug-ins drop down menu and
hover over Z-Wave. Select Controller
Management.
b) Click the Add Interface button to begin the
management process.
c) You will now be prompted to add an
interface name, interface type, and the
COM port of the interface. A good naming scheme is either the name of the interface you are using or the
location of your Z-Wave controller (if you have multiple). The interface type corresponds to the type of Z-Wave
controller you are using. If you have using an IP2SL/WF2SL, select the Ethernet option.
d) Go ahead and click Add and let HomeSeer initialize the unit. Once initialized, you will be brought to a new
screen.
e) You must now enable the controller. Click the red circle with a line through it (“No symbol”) to enable it. You will
see a green checkmark if the interface enabled correctly.
f) To add another Z-Wave interface simply follow these instructions again.
