--- layout: documentation title: RF9642 - ZWave --- {% include base.html %} # RF9642 Z-Wave Plus smart accessory dimmer This describes the Z-Wave device *RF9642*, manufactured by *Cooper Wiring Devices* with the thing type UID of ```cooper_rf9642_00_000```. 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. ![RF9642 product image](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1104/image/) The RF9642 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 Z-Wave Plus accessory dimmers can be paired with Z-Wave Plus universal smart dimmers to provide multi-location ON/OFF/BRIGHT/DIM control for up to (5) locations. These are ideal when there’s no traveler wire between the two locations in a 3-way application. Z-Wave Plus accessories will need to be associated with the load controlling dimmer using a compatible Z-Wave compliant controller Compatible with Z-Wave Plus universal dimmers (RF9640-N, RF9643-N) for wireless 3-way control, eliminating the need for traditional 3-way wiring or dedicated traveler wire ### 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 RF9642 -: | Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type | |--------------|------------|--------------|----------|-----------| | Dimmer | switch_dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer | | Scene Number | scene_number | scene_number | | Number | | Dimmer Ramp Time [Deprecated]| config_decimal | config_decimal | | Number | | Alarm | alarm_general | alarm_general | Alarm | Switch | ### 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 is of type ```switch_dimmer``` and supports the ```Dimmer``` item and is in the ```DimmableLight``` category. ### Scene Number Triggers when a scene button is pressed. The ```scene_number``` channel is of type ```scene_number``` and supports the ```Number``` item. ### Dimmer Ramp Time [Deprecated] Generic class for configuration parameter. The ```config_decimal``` channel is of type ```config_decimal``` and supports the ```Number``` item. **Note:** This channel is marked as deprecated so should not be used. ### Alarm Indicates if an alarm is triggered. The ```alarm_general``` channel is of type ```alarm_general``` and supports the ```Switch``` item and is in the ```Alarm``` 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 | ## Device Configuration The following table provides a summary of the 10 configuration parameters available in the RF9642.

Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic. The RF9642 supports 3 association groups. ### Group 1: Lifeline The Lifeline association group reports device status to a hub and is not designed to control other devices directly. When using the Lineline group with a hub, in most cases, only the lifeline group will need to be configured and normally the hub will perform this automatically during the device initialisation. Association group 1 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 2: Set On/Off Association group 2 supports 5 nodes. ### Group 3: Dim Up/Down Association group 3 supports 5 nodes. ## Technical Information ### Endpoints #### Endpoint 0 | Command Class | Comment | |---------------|---------| | COMMAND_CLASS_NO_OPERATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_BASIC_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SWITCH_MULTILEVEL_V3| Linked to BASIC| | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTIVATION_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SCENE_ACTUATOR_CONF_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_GRP_INFO_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_DEVICE_RESET_LOCALLY_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ZWAVEPLUS_INFO_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_FIRMWARE_UPDATE_MD_V1| | | COMMAND_CLASS_ASSOCIATION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_VERSION_V2| | | COMMAND_CLASS_SECURITY_V1| | ### Documentation Links * [Manual](https://opensmarthouse.org/zwavedatabase/1104/reference/RF9642-Z-Instruction-Sheet.pdf) --- Did you spot an error in the above definition or want to improve the content?
