Using VAM as a Secondary Controller

another Z-Wave network.

  Click Automation > Z-Wave Setup to display the Z–Wave 
Management screen, then click Z-Wave Default and select 
Yes. 
2.  Press the Z-Wave Primary button to switch VAM to secondary 
controller. The Z-Wave Primary icon changes to Z-Wave

controller (see controller’s manual), then click the Add Device
