5 note: if this controller is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in the nodes in your network being orphaned and it will be necessary, after the reset to defaults, to reset and re-add all of the nodes in the network. If this controller is being used as a secondary cont...

6 most z-wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver. For example, a window contact sensor device driver also needs the window contact sensor driver and an outlet module device driver needs the z-wave dimmable light (outlet) driver. Motorization, sensor, and light driv...

14 troubleshooting when joined to a network, a z-wave device will not join a different network. Z-wave devices can be removed from any network at any time by using the remove button found in available devices. This is true even if they are not part of the network performing the remove operation. If ...
