Use ZME 06443 as Scene Controller with Vera

Revision as of 17:25, 21 March 2013

The ZME_06443 Wall Controller is a battery powered Z-Wave controller that can work as a standard Controller - controlling other devices with direct Z-Wave commands - and as scene trigger device for IP Gateways such as VERA. The following pictures show the user interface UI5, but the steps and actions are similar for UI4.

Include the device

Turn VERA into inclusion mode then put the device into management mode by pushing all four buttons for 5 sec and then push the "Inclusion" button (button 3) of the ZME_06443 for 2 seconds. This will include the ZME_06443 as secondary controller into VERA. After a successful inclusion there will be a new device in the dashboard showing the scene controller.

Configure the device

On default only single button works and the device is setup to control other devices directly. In order to work as a scene controller for a gateway two configuration values need to be set

• Parameter: 13: single click behavior: turn to value 3 = scene control
• Parameter: 14 double click behavior: turn to value 3 = scene control

The device has a wakeup capability to report the battery status. However this report should only happen once a week. Set the wakeup interval to 604800, that equals 1 week or to any other value you see as desirable.

Dont forget to hit the „configure node right now“ button on the very same dialog and to do a tripple click on the wall controller to wakeup the battery device and activate the configuration.

Setup the scenes and the triggers

Setup a new scene and assign certain action to the scene. Now pick the "trigger" tab and set a new trigger. Choose the Wal Controller just included and configured. Select the event type "A scene is activated" and pick a useful name for the event (eg. the action on the controller to be performed).

Now you need to choose the scene number that is associated to certain actions on the controller. The following scenes are available.

• Scene 1: Single Click on Upper Part of Paddle
• Scene 2: Single Click on Lower Part of Paddle
• Scene 3: Single Click Dim Up
• Scene 4: Single Click Dim Down
• Scene 5: Single Click Dim Up Stop
• Scene 6: Single Click Dim Down Stop
• Scene 11: Double Click on Upper Part of Paddle
• Scene 12: Double Click on Lower Part of Paddle
• Scene 13: Double Click Dim Up
• Scene 14: Double Click Dim Down
• Scene 15: Double Click Dim Up Stop
• Scene 16: Double Click Dim Down Stop

Save the settings and you are done. For more information on the ZME Battery Wall Controller please refer to the Installation Manual.
