Glossary 
Device or Node 
Devices and nodes are all terms to describe 
an individual ZWave device. These are all 
interchangeable when setting up your Z-
Wave network. 
Inclusion 
Add a Z-Wave device to the network. 
Exclusion 
Delete a Z-Wave device from the network. 
Remove 
To take a device out of a group, scene or 
association group while that device still 
exists in the same Z-Wave network. 
Z-Wave 
Network  
A collection of Z-Wave devices 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 first controller used to set up your 
devices and network. Only the Primary 
Controller can be used to include or delete 
modules from a network. It is recommended 
that you mark the primary controller for each 
network for ease in modifying your network. 
Secondary 
Controller 
A controller containing network information 
about other modules within the network and 
is used for controlling devices. Secondary 
controller is created from the Primary 
Controller and cannot include or delete 
modules to the network. 
Inclusion 
Controller 
A controller containing network information 
about other modules within the network and 
is used for controlling devices. Inclusion 
controller is created from the Primary 
Controller in a SIS enabled Z-Wave network. 
Inclusion Controller has the ability to add 
and remove devices from the network. 
Scene 
A collection of Z-Wave devices configured 
to turn to a specific level, setting, mode, or 
perform an operation. Scenes are usually 
activated by a controller, timed event, or 
specific conditions.
