STEP #5 - Z-Wave Network Setup
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 create your Z-Wave network and to add devices. Note: the steps
below assume you’ve already physically installed Z-Wave devices in your home.
Via Z-Tool+ (requires HS3 version 3.0.0.194 and Z-Wave version 3.0.1.23)
To begin using Z-Tool+, the app must be downloaded from within your App Store. Open either the Play Store, iTunes
Store, or Windows Store and search for ‘Z-Tool+’. The search will return the app and then just click Install. Click here for
a more comprehensive guide to using Z-Tool+.
a) Z-Tool+ will automatically find your system(s). Click Select a System if you have more than one local system.
b) Select the Add or Remove action you wish you complete.
c) Activate the network button (or button sequence) on your Z-Wave device and observe the inclusion process in
the log window. Once removed a confirmation will show in the log.
d) Once the Add process is finished a window will pop up to name and change the location attributes of the device.
e) Your device can now be controlled via HSTouch or HS3 Web Control.
Via Web Control Page
Adding Z-Wave Devices (wall switches, receptacles, plug-in modules, sensors, door locks, etc)
a) From the web interface, use the pull down menus to navigate to the Z-Wave Controller Management page
(PLUG-INS > Z-Wave > Controller Management).
b) Locate the “Z-Wave Interfaces” area and expand your Z-Wave Controller section.
Open the “Actions:” menu and choose “Add/Include a Node”.
c) Click the ‘Start’ button below the Actions menu. Your HomeTroller is now in
inclusion mode and is ready to communicate with your device.
d) Activate the network button (or button sequence) on your device and observe the
inclusion process in the green log window. When done, you’ll receive an
acknowledgement such as “Finished.”. Your Z-Wave device is now removed from
your Z-Wave network!
Battery operated devices should be right next to the Z-Wave controller when adding. Door Locks should be no more
than 10 feet away when being added and should be removed first.
Removing Z-Wave Devices
Follow the procedure below to (a) reset the device to its factory settings or (b) remove the device from your Z-Wave
interface.
e) From the web interface, use the pull down menus to navigate to the Z-Wave Controller Management page
(PLUG-INS > Z-Wave > Controller Management).
f) Locate the “Z-Wave Interfaces” area and expand your Z-Wave Controller section. Open the “Actions:” menu and
choose “Remove/Exclude a Node”.
g) Click the ‘Start’ button below the Actions menu. Your HomeTroller is now in inclusion mode and is ready to
communicate with your device.
h) Activate the network button (or button sequence) on your device and observe the adding process in the green
log window. When done, you’ll receive an acknowledgement such as “DONE - Remove Node Operation is
Complete.” Your Z-Wave device is now removed from your Z-Wave network!
