Basics

To begin using Z-Wave home control technology it is helpful to understand that each Z-

Wave module, including the HomeManager, communicate with each other using a low

power radio transmitter and receiver. Large metal objects, house wiring, walls, furniture,

refrigerators, microwaves and similar items can interfere with communication between

the modules to reduce the range or even prevent communication. Therefore, placement of

the HomeManager and Z-Wave modules is very important.

A Z-Wave network is a collection of Z-Wave modules in a mesh type of network.

Therefore, each Z-Wave module, regardless of manufacturer, communicates with all the

other modules within its range to route and repeat the signals from one device to the next,

thus creating a highly robust transmission throughout the home.

A Z-Wave network can have only one primary controller. The primary controller

establishes the network security to ensure your network will not operate your neighbors

network and vice-versa. It is a good practice to label and protect your primary controller

since it is the only Z-Wave controller that can add modules to or remove modules from

your network. It is easy to add secondary controllers or inclusion controllers as your

network grows.
