Introduction
Devices all have a few things in common such as Type, Name, Location, Category,
Status, a Device Id, and a Device Icon. The value of each of these can depend on the
status of the device or the device type.
The Device Type is a description of the device dependant on its supported features or
functionality. The Device Type is one of many available types such as Switch, Dimmer,
Thermostat, Window Covering, Sensor, Entry Control, Portable Controller, Static
Controller, etc.
The Device Name, Location, and Category are customized by the user to aid in
identifying and organizing devices according to their own preferences.
The Device Id is the identifier for each device in the Z-Wave network, also known as the
node id.
The Device Icon is a representation of the Device Type.
The Device Status is dependant upon the actual condition of the device and the
communication reliability or routes to the device. Typically the device status will show as
Okay, however sometimes it may be shown as Unknown or even Failed. If the status is
Unknown, make sure the device is in a good location and the network has been optimized
through Rediscovery. An Unknown status occurs when the communication to and from
the device has timed out waiting for a response. If the status is Failed, make sure the
device is plugged in and functioning correctly. If the actual device has failed it may need
replacing or removed.
