Z Push Button 8 Wall Mounted Switch

This describes the Z-Wave device Z Push Button 8, manufactured by Future Home AS with the thing type UID of futurehome_4512581_00_000.

The device is in the category of Battery, defining Batteries, Energy Storages.

The Z Push Button 8 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.

The Z Push Button 8 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

Heatit Z-Push Button 8 is a battery operated wall switch with 8 push buttons. The switch enables you to control the Z-Wave- products in your smart home system. Managing your Z-Wave products becomes easy and practical. The switch can be set up to control scenarios or work in associations with other Z-Wave products.

Heatit Z-Push Button 8 can control up to 4 seperate association groups with up to 20 products or up to 16 scenarios through your gateway.

Inclusion Information

Step 1. Make sure the remote control does not belong to any Z-Wave network, short press on any button, if LED indicator does not turn on, the remote control does not belong to any network, then continue to step 2, if LED indicator turns on, it means the remote control has already been added to a network, please first set the remote control to removing mode (see exclusion information), then continue to step 2.

Step 2. Set primary controller/gateway into adding mode.

Step 3. Press and hold down both buttons I and O of Group 2 our 3 seconds, LED indicator, the remote control will be set to adding mode, and waiting to be added, after 10s LED indicator blinks 6 times quickly to indicate successful adding.

Exclusion Information

Step 2. Set primary controller/gateway into adding mode.

Wakeup Information

The Z Push Button 8 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.

The remote control is under sleepy mode for most of the time to save battery power. It can not receive wireless commands under sleepy mode. Before the gateway interacts data with the remote, the remote control shall be activated manually first. Short press any button to activate the remote control for 3s, and press and hold down I and O buttons of the Group 2 together over 1 second to activate the remote control for 7s.

General Usage Information

Channels

The following table summarises the channels available for the Z Push Button 8 -:

Channel Name	Channel ID	Channel Type	Category	Item Type
Scene Number	scene_number	scene_number		Number
Battery Level	battery-level	system.battery_level	Battery	Number

Scene Number

Triggers when a scene button is pressed.

The scene_number channel is of type scene_number and supports the Number item. This channel provides the scene, and the event as a decimal value in the form <scene>.<event>. The scene number is set by the device, and the event is as follows -:

Event ID	Event Description
0	Single key press
1	Key released
2	Key held down
3	Double keypress
4	Tripple keypress
5	4 x keypress
6	5 x keypress

Battery Level

Represents the battery level as a percentage (0-100%). Bindings for things supporting battery level in a different format (e.g. 4 levels) should convert to a percentage to provide a consistent battery level reading.

The system.battery-level channel is of type system.battery-level and supports the Number item and is in the Battery category. This channel provides the battery level as a percentage and also reflects the low battery warning state. If the battery state is in low battery warning state, this will read 0%.

Device Configuration

The device has no configuration parameters defined.

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 Z Push Button 8 supports 5 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.

Send Command Class "Device Reset Locally Notification V1" to associated devices of the group to report factory reset information when factory reset the remote control.
When remote control battery power value changes, send Command Class "Battery Report V1" to associated devices of this group to report power value information.
Short press or press and hold any button to send scene activation command to the associated devices of this group using Command Class "Central Scene Notification V3".

Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.

Group 2: Launch 1

Short press I/O button of Group 2 to send ON/OFF command to associated devices of the group using Command Class "Basic Set V2".

Press and hold down I/O button Group 2 to send light intensity increase/decrease command to associated devices of this group using Command Class "Multilevel V4"

Association group 2 supports 5 nodes.

Group 3: Launch 2

Short press I/O button of Group 3 to send ON/OFF command to associated devices of the group using Command Class "Basic Set V2".

Press and hold down I/O button Group 3 to send light intensity increase/decrease command to associated devices of this group using Command Class "Multilevel V4"

Association group 3 supports 5 nodes.
