The device is in the category of *Wall Switch*, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch. ![RF9542 product image](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/17/17_default.jpg) The RF9542 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network. ## Overview Aspire RF smart dimmer system accessory, compatible with Aspire RF master dimmer (RF9540-N, RF9534, RF9536, RF9536-N, RF9537-N) for wireless 3-way control, eliminating the need for traditional 3-way wiring or dedicated traveller wires. ### Inclusion Information Put the controller into inclusion mode, press the Install button once ### Exclusion Information Put the controller into exclusion mode, press the Install button once ## Channels The following table summarises the channels available for the RF9542 -: | Channel | Channel Id | Category | Item Type | |---------|------------|----------|-----------| | Dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer | | Scene Number | scene_number | | Number | | Dimmer Ramp Time | config_decimal | | Number | | Alarm | alarm_general | Door | Switch | | Local Device Protection | protection_local | | Number | | Indicator Light Control | indicator_level | | Dimmer | ### Dimmer The brightness channel allows to control the brightness of a light. It is also possible to switch the light on and off. The ```switch_dimmer``` channel supports the ```Dimmer``` item and is in the ```DimmableLight``` category. ### Scene Number Triggers when a scene button is pressed. The ```scene_number``` channel supports the ```Number``` item. ### Dimmer Ramp Time Generic class for configuration parameter. The ```config_decimal``` channel supports the ```Number``` item. ### Alarm Indicates if an alarm is triggered. The ```alarm_general``` channel supports the ```Switch``` item and is in the ```Door``` category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device. The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Switch``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | OFF | OK | | ON | Alarm | ### Local Device Protection Sets the local protection mode. The ```protection_local``` channel supports the ```Number``` item. The following state translation is provided for this channel to the ```Number``` item type -: | Value | Label | |-------|-----------| | 0 | Unprotected | | 1 | Protection by sequence | | 2 | No operation possible | ### Indicator Light Control Sets the indicator brightness. The ```indicator_level``` channel supports the ```Dimmer``` item. ## Device Configuration The following table provides a summary of the 7 configuration parameters available in the RF9542. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below. | Param | Name | Description | |-------|-------|-------------| | 1 | Delayed OFF time | delay time in seconds | | 2 | Panic ON time | time in seconds for panic mode | | 3 | Panic OFF time | off time in seconds for panic mode | | 4 | Basic Set Value | send this value to associated devices | | 5 | Power Up State | Power Up State of the switch | | 6 | Panic mode enable | Enables this switch to participate in panic mode | | 7 | Dimmer Ramp Time | time in seconds to ramp to desired level | | | Switch All Mode | Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands | ### Parameter 1: Delayed OFF time delay time in seconds The amount of time in seconds the switch will delay when trigger the delayed off feature 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: Panic ON time time in seconds for panic mode The amount of time in seconds the switch will turn on for when panic mode is triggered Values in the range 0 to 255 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: Panic OFF time off time in seconds for panic mode The amount of time in seconds the switch will turn off for when panic mode is triggered Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_3_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 4: Basic Set Value send this value to associated devices Setting this to anything other than 0 will cause the value to be transmitted to devices in the association group when the switch is triggered. A setting other than 0 will likely result in undesired operation 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 5: Power Up State Power Up State of the switch The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 1 | Off | | 2 | On | | 3 | Last State | The manufacturer defined default value is ```1``` (OFF). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_5_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 6: Panic mode enable Enables this switch to participate in panic mode The following option values may be configured -: | Value | Description | |--------|-------------| | 1 | Off | | 2 | On | The manufacturer defined default value is ```1``` (OFF). This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_6_1``` and is of type ```INTEGER```. ### Parameter 7: Dimmer Ramp Time time in seconds to ramp to desired level The amount of time in seconds the switch will take to reach the desired dim level Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set. The manufacturer defined default value is ```0```. This parameter has the configuration ID ```config_7_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 RF9542 supports 1 association group. ### Group 1: Group 1 Association group 1 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V2| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_ALL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTIVATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTUATOR_CONF_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_CONFIGURATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ALARM_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_MANUFACTURER_SPECIFIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_POWERLEVEL_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_PROTECTION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_NODE_NAMING_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_INDICATOR_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [Z-Wave Certification](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/17/ZC07080006.pdf) * [Engineering Specification](https://www.cd-jackson.com/zwave_device_uploads/17/AspireRFSmartDimmerSystemAccessorySpecSheet.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
