Z-Wave
Z-wave Device support
• Will work with same Z-wave devices specified in Tuxedo, see Tux User Guide or L5100 Home Automation
guide for compatible list.
• Inclusion device support - GE, Aspire, and Leviton.
How do I Flash lights on an event (like burglary)?
• Z-wave does not support flashing of lights.
• The Fortrezz Z-wave Strobe/Sounder can be used on the L5100 when included into the Z-wave controller.
How do you back up Z-wave information?
• Z-wave information is uploaded into Compass, so it can be used to recreate the scenes, rules and schedules
originally created if necessary.
• Use a secondary controller, connected to a laptop (such as the Leviton USB device), save the information to a
file.
Can the Duress code be used to unlock the door and disarm the
system?
• Yes, if enabled in user code programming.
If there is a Z-wave system, and someone moves a device (lamp module
or other), how do you “repair” the network so that the device still
reports into and can be controlled from the system?
• L5100 has a Z-wave self-repair function.
Z-wave devices
• Primary controller is the only controller to include devices
• Nodes start at 1 (primary controller), and go to 232.
• If you include and exclude the same device 232 times, you will run out of nodes, and the controller will then
restart and fill open nodes
Can you learn a L5100 into another L5100 as a secondary controller
• No, this is not a feature of the L5100
