Z-Wave

Controller Generic Device Classes

In theory, every controllable or controlling device at home can be equipped with Z-Wave

technology.

Therefore, a broad variety of different devices and functions should be expected. However, there are some

basic functionality patterns that allow categorizing different devices:

n Each device will either control other devices or being controlled by other devices.

In the Z-Wave

terminology, controlling devices are called controllers, reporting devices are called

sensors and controlled devices are called actuators.

n It is also possible to combine a logical sensor controller or actor function within one physical device.

n Actors switch either digital (i.e. ON/OFF for an electrical switch) or analog signals (i.e. 0 to100% for a

dimmer).

n Sensors deliver either a digital signal (i.e. door, glass breaking and motion detector) or an analogue

signal (i.e. temperature, humidity, power).

The Essence WeR@Home

™

Z-Wave

Controller was developed to serve as a generic controller covering all Z-

Wave

supported generic device classes.

Four (4) different end-devices were implemented insofar:

n Binary Switches – ON/OFF.

n Multilevel Switches – like a Dimmer.

n Thermostats – like Climate Controllers.

n Door Locks.

Notes: Once integrated into the WeR@Home

™

system’s configuration, the Z-Wave

Controller will accommodate all devices based on these categories, regardless their

manufacturer.
