--- layout: documentation title: Energy Switch + - ZWave --- {% include base.html %} # Energy Switch + Energy Switch + This describes the Z-Wave device *Energy Switch +*, manufactured by *[BeNext](http://www.benext.eu/)* with the thing type UID of ```benext_energyswitch_00_000```. ![Energy Switch + product image](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/445/445_default.png) The Energy Switch + does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the *Wakeup Information* section below for further information. ## Overview ### Wakeup Information The Energy Switch + does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour. The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device. ## Channels The following table summarises the channels available for the Energy Switch + -: | Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type | |---------|------------|----------|-----------| | Switch | switch_binary | Switch | Switch | | Electric meter (kWh) | meter_kwh | Energy | Number | | Electric meter (watts) | meter_watts | Energy | Number | ### Switch Switch the power on and off. The ```switch_binary``` channel supports the ```Switch``` item and is in the ```Switch``` category. ### Electric meter (kWh) Indicates the energy consumption (kWh). The ```meter_kwh``` channel supports the ```Number``` item and is in the ```Energy``` category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. ### Electric meter (watts) Indicates the instantaneous power consumption. The ```meter_watts``` channel supports the ```Number``` item and is in the ```Energy``` category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. ## Device Configuration The following table provides a summary of the 9 configuration parameters available in the Energy Switch +. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below. | Param | Name | Description | |-------|-------|-------------| | 1 | Set to Default | If value is set to 0XFF (255), device set to default | | 2 | Amount of decimals | If value is set to 1 the info shall be presented with 1 decimal | | 3 | Power Limit | The device will shut down when it reaches an amount higher then defined (W) | | 4 | Start up with last known socket status | If 0 then the device will always be off, when 1-255 it will emain the last known state | | 6 | Auto report % | The value will change when the % is changed. | | 7 | Auto report Watt | The value will change when the Watt is changed. | | 8 | Auto report time | The time between 2 of the meter rerport | | 9 | Relais delay time | The time that needs to pass before the next state change | | 10 | Led indicator | The state of the Led compared to the relais state | | | Switch All Mode | Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands | ### Parameter 1: Set to Default If value is set to 0XFF (255), device set to default Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_1_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 2: Amount of decimals If value is set to 1 the info shall be presented with 1 decimal 0,1,2,3 amount of decimals. Every Amount higher then 3 shall be printed as 3 decimals. Values in the range 0 to 3 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_2_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 3: Power Limit The device will shut down when it reaches an amount higher then defined (W) 0 = no power limit. 1-4500 are acceptable values and can be used, everything above the 4500 shall be changed to 4500. Values in the range 0 to 4500 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```4500```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_3_2``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 4: Start up with last known socket status If 0 then the device will always be off, when 1-255 it will emain the last known state Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_4_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 6: Auto report % The value will change when the % is changed. Values in the range 10 to 100 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```20```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_6_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 7: Auto report Watt The value will change when the Watt is changed. Values in the range 5 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```10```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_7_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 8: Auto report time The time between 2 of the meter rerport Values in the range 10 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```20```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_8_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 9: Relais delay time The time that needs to pass before the next state change Value * 10 miliseconds Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```50```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_9_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 10: Led indicator The state of the Led compared to the relais state 0 = Indication Led never off 1 = led ON when relais ON 2 = led On when relais OFF Values in the range 0 to 2 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_10_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Switch All Mode Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands. The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 0 | Exclude from All On and All Off groups | | 1 | Include in All On group | | 2 | Include in All Off group | | 255 | Include in All On and All Off groups | This parameter has the configuration ID ```switchall_mode``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ## Association Groups Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The device does not support associations. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_BINARY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_ALL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_METER_V3| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CRC_16_ENCAP_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_PROTECTION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [User Manual](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/445/energyswitchrs.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
