Basics
Bind – Activates Z-Wave® module. Can be used to include Thermostat into a network, include
into a Scene or delete thermostat from Scene or network. Similar to program button found on
other products.
Calibration - Accuracy of thermostat (set at factory only, see Temperature Offset.)
Copy – See Replicate.
Delete – Erase transmitter or scene information from Controller. Also known as Exclude.
Device – Any item that is connected to a module (for example, lamps).
Exclude – Remove a module, transmitter or scene from the controller.
HVAC – Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning system
Include – Add a module to the controller. Also known as Inclusion.
LCD – Liquid Crystal Display. The informational display on the thermostat.
Module – Any HomeSettings or Z-Wave® product that is controlled with a HomeSettings or
Z-Wave® remote controller. A module can be part of more than one scene.
Network – A collection of Z-Wave® modules controlled by primary and secondary controllers
operating on the same system. A network has its own unique identification code so that no one
else can control the system.
Node – Single Z-Wave® endpoint (controller or module) on a network .
Primary Controller – The first controller used to set up your modules and network.
NOTE: Only the Primary Controller can be used to include or delete modules from a network. It is
recommended that you mark the primary controller for each network for ease in modifying your
network.
Replicate – Copy from one controller to another.
Scene – A scene is a series of Z-Wave® modules programmed to turn to a specific level (on, off
or dim, normal mode, save mode, etc...) with the push of a button on a controller.
Schedule - A timer based event in the software that will activate a scene or turn on/off a zone at
a specified time of day, or at sunrise or sunset.
Secondary Controller – A controller containing network information about other modules within
the network, and is created FROM the primary controller. Secondary controllers cannot include or
delete modules to the network.
Set-back temperature – Energy saving target temperature setting associated to SAVE ENERGY
mode.
Target Temperature - Temperature to be maintained by thermostat.
Temperature Offset - Forced adjustment of thermostat read out to display a temperature either
higher or lower than the actual temperature.
