About Z-Wave®
Adding the Device to a Z-Wave® Network (Inclusion)
Note! All device outputs (O, O1, O2, etc.) will briefly turn on/off (1s on / 1s off) if the device is successfully added/removed.
Note! For Security 2 (S2) inclusion, you must enter the 5-digit PIN code printed on the Z-Wave® DSK label (on the device and in packaging). Do not lose this code.
SmartStart Inclusion
- Scan the QR code on the device using a gateway that supports SmartStart.
- No further action needed — device auto-adds within 10 minutes of being powered on.
- Scan the QR code and add the DSK to the gateway's provisioning list.
- Connect the device to power.
- Confirm blue LED is blinking in Mode 1 (not yet added).
- Addition starts automatically after power-up.

Remote Reset via Parameter
Set Parameter No. 120 to 1 to trigger remote factory reset.
Z-Wave® Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports Security 2 (S2) using Strong AES-128 encryption — making Z-Wave® one of the most secure IoT platforms.
- Authenticated Control: Out-of-band DSK inclusion
- Supports S2 Authenticated, Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion
Note: When using S2-enabled gateway, the 5-digit PIN from the DSK label is required.
The DSK label is on the side of the device and inside the packaging. Keep it safe.
- First five digits are highlighted/underlined for easy identification.
- DSK is also represented via QR code.
Obfuscation Rule: Joining node sets bytes 1–2 of public key to zero (0x00) before RF transmission.
DSK Use: Can be used for out-of-band (OOB) authentication.
Gateway can scan the QR code to match against obfuscated public key received via RF.
