2.3 Z-Wave Glossary
Device or Node
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe an individual Z-Wave device.
These are all interchangeable when setting up your Z-Wave network.
Inclusion Add a Z-Wave device to the network.
Exclusion Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
Remove Remove a Z-Wave device from the network.
Network Wide
Inclusion (NWI)
Network Wide Inclusion (NWI) enables both end-user friendly, Plug and
Play like Z-Wave network installation as well as professional installation
scenario where the inclusion process, in terms of time will be reduced
signicantly. NWI is a feature supported by a new frame type named
Explorer which enables the Z-Wave protocol to implement Adaptive
Source Routing.
Z-Wave Network
A collection of Z-Wave devices is controlled by primary and secondary
controllers operating on the same system. A Z-Wave network has its
own unique ID code so that controllers not in the network cannot control
the system.
Primary Controller
The rst controller is used to set up your devices and network. Only the
Primary Controller can be used to include or remove devices from a
network. It is recommended that you mark the primary controller for
each network for ease in modifying your network.
FLiRS Mode
FLiRS is abbreviation for “Frequently Listening Routing Slave”. FLiRS
mode is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter sleep
mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The
response to Z-Wave command is not as quick as Always Listening
Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
Always-Listening
Mode
FLiRS mode is targeted for battery operated applications and will enter
sleep mode frequently in order to conserve battery consumption. The
response to Z-Wave command is not as quick as Always Listening
Device. Normally there is 1-2 seconds latency.
Association
Association is used to organize nodes in different groups allowing the
device to identify the nodes by a group identier. The groups can also be
copied to other devices.
