If the remote has already been included in another Z-Wave network, you need to do a factory reset on it first, as explained below, before you can add it to Vera.

==Adding the remote to your Z-Wave network==

1. Be sure the remote is not already paired with another network. Do a factory reset as explained below if you're not sure.

2. Take the remote near Vera and choose Devices, Add Z-Wave controller from Vera's setup menu.

3. On the HA07 (screen), press and hold 'include' for a few seconds until it says 'copy', and then press the '1 off' button. It should say 'Copy RA' while transferring to Vera, and then say 'successful' when it's done.

On the HA09 (no screen) press and hold 'include' for 5 seconds. Both the red and green LEDs at the top will flash. Press and release Scene 1 'off'. The green LED will flash while configuration is transferred. The green LED will turn solid for 2 seconds upon successful transfer, or both will flash for 2 seconds on failure.

See [http://www.wayne-dalton.com/access/access_support.asp Wayne Dalton Support] 'Deluxe Remote Control' and 'Wireless Remote Control' for manuals for the HA07 and HA09 respectively (identical to Intermatic).

4. After a few seconds you should see the remote show up as an unassigned device on the devices tab in Vera's setup site. If not, reload the web page. Pick the room the remote is in, and give the remote a name if you want.

If you do not want Vera to assign scenes to the remote, but will do that using another device, you can stop here. If you want Vera to assign scenes, keep going with step 5.

5. After you assigned the scene controller to a room, click the + button next to the scene controller on the devices tab in Vera's setup site. Check the box "Treat scene buttons as events". After you save your changes, and Vera the 'please wait' and 'configuring' status messages have passed, add the controller again by repeating step 3.

6. On the scenes tab in Vera's setup site, create the scenes you want assigned to the scene controller. Click the red 'save' button to save your scenes. If you haven't yet added all the lights and other Z-Wave devices you want in the scene you'll have to do that first, of course, and come back to this step later. Click the 'Add Event' button for your scene. Choose the event 'Scene button is pressed'. Then choose the scene controller from the pull-down. Then enter the scene button you want to trigger the scene; enter a number between 1 and 5 for the 5 scene buttons.

After you save your changes, turning on the scene button triggers the scene. Note that the scene can include delays. For example, if you have a 'go to bed' scene, you may want the scene to lock the doors, turn down the thermostat, and turn off all the lights. But, you might not want the bedroom lights to go off immediately if the scene controller is on the opposite side of the room from the bed. So, in the scene, for the bedroom lights, choose the command "On" then choose "After 30 seconds", then "Set a new setting", then "Off". This way, when you choose the scene, the bedroom lights will come on for 30 seconds so you have time to walk across the room, and then turn off.

The 5 scene buttons on the scene controller can be turned 'on' or 'off'. Turning the scene on triggers the scenes 1 through 5. Turning the scene off does not turn the devices in the scene off as you would expect. Rather, turning off any of the 5 buttons causing Vera to trigger scene 0. So if you create a scene with the event for 'scene 0', it will be triggered whenever you turn off any scene. You can create a scene as described above, and in step 6 choose button #0. But this means that no matter which of the 5 scene buttons you turn off, they all trigger the scene for button #0. See [[ZWave_Add_Controller]] method #2 for an explanation. If this is confusing, just stick to the normal usage of buttons 1-5, but be aware that if scene 2, for example, is 'on' (ie the LED is lit), you will need to press '2' twice to get it to run the scene again. So, using this method, the normal way to turn off the lights is to have a scene which turns the devices off and assigns it to a button. For example, scene '1' could be your 'bright' scene, scene '2' could be your 'dinner scene', and scene '3' could be your 'living room lights off' and scene 4 could be your 'all lights off' scene.

As explained in [[ZWave_Add_Controller]] you can leave "Treat scene buttons as events" unchecked, and then create scenes the traditional Z-Wave way (ie Method #1). In this case the scene off works as you would expect. However, the scenes are much more limited. You cannot have delays, or adjust thermostats, or lock doors and so on.

== Removing the remote from your Z-Wave network ==

If you already paired the remote and want to remove it:

1. On Vera's setup page go to 'Devices', 'Z-Wave Options'. 2. Chose 'Exclude' from the pull-down menu 3. Click 'Go' 4. Then press the same sequence as in Step #3 during the 'Add' process (above).

== Doing a factory reset ==

1. On the HA07, press and hold [Include]+[Delete] for several seconds until it says 'Reset'. 2. Then press and hold 'Scene 1' [On] and 'Scene 1' [Off] for several seconds it says 'all clear'.

ZWave Add Controller

2010-03-14T22:21:27Z

Marcoose:

With most Z-Wave devices, you add them to Vera's Z-Wave network by clicking the 'Add other Z-Wave devices' on the 'Devices' tab in Vera's menu and following the instructions where you remove Vera's black Z-Wave dongle and carry it to your Z-Wave device. But, battery-operated handheld controllers are special cases. To add them you leave Vera's black dongle connected, bring them to Vera, and chose the 'Add Z-Wave Controller' option instead. In general, when adding these handheld controllers, there are a few more steps, as explained below. Most in-wall controllers that are connected to your house's electricity (i.e. ''not'' battery operated) can be added like any other Z-Wave device and do not need to be treated like the battery operated controllers. (See '''Supported controllers/gateways''' below for a list.)

To assign the scene to a button on a handheld remote or scene controller, create the scene, click 'Add Event' next to the scene, choose the scene controller or handheld remote, choose the event 'A Scene is Activated', and pick the scene or button ID, such as 3 for button 3 on a scene controller. In a traditional Z-Wave network, handheld remotes and scene controllers can only control certain scene-capable light switches and lamp modules. But Vera automatically extends the capabilities of Z-Wave so all the commands in your scene will be activated when you press the button.

For any commands in the scene that go to scene capable devices, namely Z-Wave scene capable light switches and lamp modules, Vera will program the scene controller or remote to talk directly to those scene capable devices. And, if the remote or scene controller has Up/Down or Off buttons, they will be sent directly to the scene capable devices. For any commands you assign to the scene which are not for scene-capable devices, like door locks, thermostats, non-scene capable lamp modules, etc., Vera will monitor the button pushes on your scene controller or handheld remote and automatically take care of the rest of the commands.

The first step is to add the controller into Vera.

== Adding battery operated handheld controllers to Vera ==

[[Image:AddZ-Wave.jpg|thumb|center|512px|Add Z-Wave Controller Screen]]

When you want to add a handheld Z-Wave controller, go to Vera's [[Quick Start|setup page]], choose the "Devices" tab, and click the "Add Z-Wave controller" link or button. You will have 60 seconds to add the controller to an existing Z-Wave network, by bringing the handheld controller within 3 feet (1 meter) of Vera and pressing the buttons on the handheld controller. This process is different for each handheld controller, and is often given different names. A chart of some popular Z-Wave handheld controllers is shown below, along with the steps to add the controller to Vera, and what the process is called. Vera shows the status and progress in blue at the top of the page, starting with: "''Running: Job is waiting: Ready...''", which means Vera is waiting for your handheld controller to start.

If you cannot add the controller to Vera, it's possible the controller is already part of another Z-Wave network. In this case, you must first reset the controller before you can add it to Vera. Instructions for resetting some popular controllers are shown below.

== Adding in-wall scene controllers to Vera ==

As mentioned above, in general you can add these devices like any other Z-Wave device and don't need to use the 'Add Z-Wave Controller' link.

== '''Supported controllers/gateways''' ==

'''These devices are added by bringing the controller near Vera and choosing 'Add Z-Wave Controller'.'''

The 'Add Sequence' is how you tell the controller to add to Vera. The 'Reset Sequence' is how you clear the controller if it's already been added to another Z-Wave network and can't be added to Vera.

| RESET: Z-Wave Setup mode, scroll to NETWORK, press OK and displays RESET. Click OK to reset the Z-wave on remote. This will not remove the remote from Vera's network. So if it's already been added to Vera's network follow the instructions here: [[GE_Home_Theater_45608]]
| Works well with Vera, Also controls A/V devices and includes X10 IR codes and Logitech Squeezebox IR codes, blue blacklit buttons, LCD screen allows editing labels of scenes, devices, etc. Can also control Z-Wave and A/V devices using macros so you can "play DVD" and the lights will dim with this command. VERY NICE REMOTE!

Translates commands to Z-Wave Scenes. As of firmware 1.0.602 it's working with Vera, it's seen as a secondary controller.

| Add Zwave Controller in Vera, on remote; HOME, hold SETUP until HOME blinks twice, enter 967, HOME blinks twice if successful. Create the scenes and assign them to the scene controller as described earlier. Click 'Save', and then go to the device and click Configure node right now on Vera, and repeat on remote.
|  
| I added this about a week ago, and typed this from memory, so it may not work 100%, but I know it does have to be programmed on the remote twice. Only On works, couldn't find setting for Off, don't have a dimmer to test Bright/Dim.

1. Add Z-Wave Controller on Vera 2. Press 3 times shift (Button 9) 3. Configure device on Vera (Associations) 4. To transfer your config settings, repeat step 1 & 2 

|
| Device can be configured using Vera. Has no scene buttons, so you can not trigger scenes with it (V1.0.616) which hopefully will be changed in further versions. Button 8 is always "ALL ON / ALL OFF"

== '''Troubleshooting''' ==

In case your controller it's not working please follow this steps before submitting a trouble report.

1. Open Vera's Dashboard 
2. Go to Advanced and enable Verbose Logging 
3. Go to Location choose your timezone and synchronize your watch 
4. Go to Devices->Zwave->More Zwave Options tab and where it says 
"House/Node", make note of the node ID of your dongle (node x.y where x is the node id). 
5. Go to Devices->Zwave tab, if you have any devices called "ZWave Controller/Scene Controller" besides the built-in one, be sure to rename them so you can tell which is which.
Also be sure 'scenes as events' is not checked for this controller. 
6. Go to Devices->Zwave, expand your controller properties by clicking on the "+" sign near it and then press 'Custom Zwave Settings'. 
Under Associations add group 2 and when you click 'set', add 2 associations: both the device you want to control *and* the 
"ZWave Controller" (ie Vera's dongle), which is probably in the 'unassigned' area. 
Press SAVE and wait until the 'Please wait.... configuring' is done. 
7. Press every button on your controller and note the exact time at which you've press it. 
8. Go to Advanced->Tech Support and submit a trouble report in which you have to indicate 
- the controller make and model and a link to its user manual 
- the controller's NodeID 
- the time when you hit 'configure right now' and when you hit each button
