Product description
This Duwi Wall Controller is a single paddle controller to control other Z-Wave devices such as dimmers, switches or window blinds.
The unit has dedicated buttons for inclusion, exclusion and association and is able to work as a primary controller. It is delivered
completely with single frame and switching paddle for Duwi Everlux. The unit is battery powered and therefore can be mounted on
every plain and clean place.
Installation Guidelines
The device can be mounted on every flat surface either using two screws or strong double sides type. To access the devices base
the switching paddle need to be removed. Below the switching paddle the device has three more network control buttons. Insert
both the batteries (2 x LR8D425) into the battery case while paying attention to the indicated plus (+) / minus (-) poles. The
wireless wall switch can now be mounted.
Attention: The electronic circuit of the wall-mounted switch can be damaged in the case of wrong insertion of batteries.
Behavior within the Z-Wave network
I On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join an existing wireless network to
communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This process is
called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be turned into
exclusion respective inclusion mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual on how to turn your controller into inclusion
or exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave the network.
Leaving the network - i.e. being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.
If the device already belongs to a network, follow the exclusion process before including it in your network. Otherwise inclusion of
this device will fail. If the controller being included was a primary controller, it has to be reset first.
Once the primary controller is turned into inclusion mode 2 seconds pressing the "Include" button will include this device
into the primary controllers network. A green blinking of LED will indicate successfull inclusion that will be turned off shortly
afterwards.
Operating the device

2. 2 (c) 2012 Z-Wave Europe GmbH, Goldbachstr. 13, 09337 Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, www.zwaveeurope.com
The Controller controls other devices with its switching paddle (communication pattern 6 and 7). The upper part of the paddle will
issue an ON command, the lower part will issue an OFF command to a group of devices associated with this controller.
Wakeup Intervals - how to communicate with the device?
W This device is battery operated and turned into deep sleep state most of the time to save battery life time. Communication with
the device is limited. In order to communicate with the device, a static controller C is needed in the network. This controller will
maintain a mailbox for the battery operated devices and store commands that can not be received during deep sleep state.
Without such a controller, communication may become impossible and/or the battery life time is significantly decreased.
This device will wakeup regularly and announce the wakeup state by sending out a so called Wakeup Notification. The controller
can then empty the mailbox. Therefore, the device needs to be configured with the desired wakeup interval and the node ID of the
controller. If the device was included by a static controller this controller will usually perform all necessary configurations. The
wakeup interval is a tradeoff between maximal battery life time and the desired responses of the device.
The device can be waken up manually by tripple pressing the paddle. Attention. Wakeup period is very short (1s)
It is possible to set the node ID to 255 to send wakeup notifications as broadcast. In this mode device takes more time to go to
sleep and drains battery faster, but can notify all it's direct neighbors about a wakeup.
Node Information Frame
NIF The Node Information Frame is the business card of a Z-Wave device. It contains information about the device type and the
technical capabilities. The inclusion and exclusion of the device is confirmed by sending out a Node Information Frame. Beside this
it may be needed for certain network operations to send out a Node Information Frame.
Triple click on either the button "€œDown"€ or the button "€œUp"€ will issue a Node Information Frame and keep the device
awake for 2 seconds afterwards.
LED Control
Green for 2 sec = ok1.
Red for 2 sec = failed2.
Green blinking = I am ready and wait3.
Red- Yellow blinking for 2 sec = Can not do it4.
Associations
A Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called
association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive
controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button
pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive a
common wireless command.
Association Groups:
1 Basic On/Off Group (max. nodes in group: 5)

Special Functions as Z-Wave Controller
As long as this device is not included into a Z-Wave network of a different controller it is able to manage its own Z-Wave network
as primary controller. As a primary controller the device can include and exclude other devices in its own network, manage
associations, and reorganize the network in case of problems. The following controller functions are supported:
Include other device in own network
CI Communication between two Z-Wave devices only works if both belong to the same wireless network. Joining a network is
called inclusion and is initiated by a controller. The controller needs to be turned into the inclusion mode. Once in this inclusion
mode the other device needs to confirm the inclusion - typically by pressing a button.
Triple click the button "€œInclusion"€. The LED will start blinking green. The controller is now in the inclusion mode and ready1.
to include devices into its own network.
Confirm the inclusion on the device that shall be included. Please refer to the manual of the device for more information on the2.
inclusion process of this device.
A successful inclusion is indicated by a green LED for 3 seconds. A failed or timed out inclusion is indicated by a red LED.3.
If inclusion of a new device fails, exclude it first from its previous network or reset it.
If current primary controller in your network is in special SIS mode this and any other secondary controller can also include and
exclude devices.
To become primary a contoller have to be resetted and then include a device.
Exclude device from network
The primary controller can exclude devices from the Z-Wave network. During exclusion the relationship between the device and
the network of this controller is terminated. No communication between the device and other devices still in the network can
happen after a successful exclusion. The controller needs to be turned into the exclusion mode. Once in this exclusion mode the
other device needs to confirm the exclusion - typically by pressing a button.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into factory default status. This process can also
exclude devices from it's previous network.
Triple click the button "€œExclusion"€. The LED will start blinking. Now the controller is in the exclusion mode.1.
Press the button on the device to be excluded or refer to manual of this device on how to exclude this device.2.
The LED will turn green for 3 seconds if the exclusion was successful and then turn off. If the exclusion failed or timed out the3.
LED will turn red.
Attention: Removing a device from the network means that it is turned back into factory default status. This process can also
exclude devices from its previous network.
Shift Primary Role to a different Controller
The device can hand over its primary role to another controller and become secondary controller.
The primary shift is initiated on the device by pressing the Association button for 6 seconds (LED blinks yellow) followed by
pressing the include button for three seconds (LED blinks green). Now the new primary controller needs to be turned into the

inclusion mode. Pushing UP or DOWN terminates the primary shift.
Reset the Controller
Press the button "€œExclusion"€ for 6 seconds (LED starts blinking in all three colors) followed by a triple click of the UP or a triple
click of the DOWN button. The LED will turn green for 3 seconds if the reset was successful and then turn off. If the reset failed or
timed out the LED will shine red.
