Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting metered or measured data or

actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either static mains powered controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or

mobile battery operated remote controls(R). This results in a number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave network that are

partly or completely supported by a specific device.

1. Controllers control actuators

2. Actuators report change of status back to controller

3. Sensors report change of status of measured values to controller

4. Sensors directly control actuators

5. Actuators control other actuators

6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions

7. Remote controls control other actuators.

There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the network and including/excluding devices. The controller may have other

functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't manage the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not

possible to operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.

Product description

Aeon Labs MultiSensor is a routing binary sensor device based on Z-Wave routing slave library V6.51.06. The MultiSensor can be included

and operated in any Z-wave network with other Z-wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery

operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. It also supports Security

Command Class and has the AES-128 bit security encryption built right in. While a Security enabled Controller is needed in order to fully

use the security feature. If the MultiSensor is included into a SIS or SUC Z-wave network, it will be associated to SIS or SUC automatically.

If PIR motion sensor is triggered, the MultiSensor will send a Basic set (0xFF) to associated devices. The PIR motion sensor will then

become inactive. After an interval time (configurable), the PIR motion sensor will wake up and can detect motion again. The Multisensor will

send basic set (0x00) if the PIR motion sensor is not triggered for the interval time (configurable). As soon as MultiSensor is removed from

a z-wave network it will restore itself into factory settings.
