Aeotec by Aeon Labs Z-Stick.

Aeon Labs Z-Stick Gen5 is a self-

powered Z-Wave USB adapter with

remote network creation capabilities

(independent from external power and

host microprocessor). By being able

to remotely include/remove Z-Wave

devices, this greatly simplifies Z-Wave

network installation. When connected

to a host controller (via USB), it enables

the host controller to take part in the

Z-Wave Network.

The Z-Stick Gen5 is also device

firmware upgradeable by the end

consumer. This enables the product

to always have the latest Z-Wave

protocol, capabilities and commands.

By taking advantage of the Z-Wave

The Z-Stick operates in three distinct

modes: Inclusion-Mode, Removal-

Inclusion-Mode: Adding/Including

Z-Wave Devices into the Z-Wave

Network.

1. To initiate Inclusion-Mode, unplug the

Z-Stick from the USB connector and

then tap the Action Button. (The blue

LED will blink slowly.)

2. To include a new Z-Wave device into

the network, simply go to the device

with the Z-Stick and press the button

on the device you wish to include. (The

blue LED on the Z-Stick will blink fast

and stay solid for 2 seconds to indicate

successful inclusion of the device into

SerialAPI-Mode: Allowing a Host

Processor To Take Control of the

Z-Stick and Take Part in the Z-Wave

Network.

To initiate SerialAPI-Mode, plug the

Z-Stick into the USB connector of the

host (i.e. PC, MAC, or Gateway).

Note:

1). While in SerialAPI-mode, the

Z-Stick is always listening (it is awake

and always in RX receive mode) for

instructions and acts as a Z-Wave

adapter and responds to commands

sent through USB by the host processor

software.

2). Pressing the Action Button will not

have any effect while in SerialAPI-

Mode. But short pressing the Reset

Button will reset the USB port.

Add the Z-Stick to a pre-existing

Z-Wave network.

This must be done through the host

software which takes control of the

Z-Stick USB adapter while the Z-Stick

is in SerialAPI-Mode. Please consult

the instruction manual of the host

software to add the Z-Stick to a pre-

existing Z-Wave network (i.e. "Learn",

"Sync", "Add as Secondary Controller",

etc.). This function can only be

performed via host software.
