Energy Switch + - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device Energy Switch +, manufactured by BeNext with the thing type UID of benext_energyswitch_00_000.
The device is in the category of Power Outlet, defining Small devices to be plugged into a power socket in a wall which stick there.
The Energy Switch + does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. Refer to the Wakeup Information section below for further information.
Control and monitor your lightning or any other appliance.
During operation mode it will measure the instance and accumulated energy consumption of the applied appliance.
Easy plug and play.
Press and hold the push button until the indicator light is blinking than release the button
Press and hold the push button until the indicator light is blinking than release the button
The Energy Switch + does not permanently listen for messages sent from the controller - it will periodically wake up automatically to check if the controller has messages to send, but will sleep most of the time to conserve battery life. The wakeup period can be configured in the user interface - it is advisable not to make this too short as it will impact battery life - a reasonable compromise is 1 hour.
The wakeup period does not impact the devices ability to report events or sensor data. The device can be manually woken with a button press on the device as described below - note that triggering a device to send an event is not the same as a wakeup notification, and this will not allow the controller to communicate with the device.
The following table summarises the channels available for the Energy Switch + -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Switch | switch_binary | switch_binary | Switch | Switch |
| Electric meter (kWh) | meter_kwh | meter_kwh | Energy | Number |
| Electric meter (watts) | meter_watts | meter_watts | Energy | Number |
Switch the power on and off.
The switch_binary channel is of type switch_binary and supports the Switch item and is in the Switch category.
Indicates the energy consumption (kWh).
The meter_kwh channel is of type meter_kwh and supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
Indicates the instantaneous power consumption.
The meter_watts channel is of type meter_watts and supports the Number item and is in the Energy category. This is a read only channel so will only be updated following state changes from the device.
The following table provides a summary of the 9 configuration parameters available in the Energy Switch +. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below.
| Param | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Set to Default | If value is set to 0XFF (255), device set to default |
| 2 | Amount of decimals | If value is set to 1 the info shall be presented with 1 decimal |
| 3 | Power Limit | The device will shut down when it reaches an amount higher then defined (W) |
| 4 | Start up with last known socket status | Start up with last known socket status |
| 6 | Auto report % | The value will change when the % is changed. |
| 7 | Auto report Watt | The value will change when the Watt is changed. |
| 8 | Auto report time | The time between 2 of the meter rerport |
| 9 | Relais delay time | The time that needs to pass before the next state change |
| 10 | Led indicator | The state of the Led compared to the relais state |
| Switch All Mode | Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands |
If value is set to 0XFF (255), device set to default
Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 0.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_1_1 and is of type INTEGER.
If value is set to 1 the info shall be presented with 1 decimal 0,1,2,3 amount of decimals. Every Amount higher then 3 shall be printed as 3 decimals. Values in the range 0 to 3 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 0.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_2_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The device will shut down when it reaches an amount higher then defined (W) 0 = no power limit.
1-4500 are acceptable values and can be used, everything above the 4500 shall be changed to 4500. Values in the range 0 to 4500 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 4500.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_3_2 and is of type INTEGER.
Start up with last known socket status
- If 0 then the device will always be off, when
- If 1-255 hen the device will remain the last known state Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 0.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_4_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The value will change when the % is changed.
Values in the range 10 to 100 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 20.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_6_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The value will change when the Watt is changed.
Values in the range 5 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 10.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_7_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The time between 2 of the meter rerport
Values in the range 10 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 20.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_8_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The time that needs to pass before the next state change Value * 10 miliseconds Values in the range 0 to 255 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 50.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_9_1 and is of type INTEGER.
The state of the Led compared to the relais state 0 = Indication Led never off
1 = led ON when relais ON
2 = led On when relais OFF Values in the range 0 to 2 may be set.
The manufacturer defined default value is 0.
This parameter has the configuration ID config_10_1 and is of type INTEGER.
Set the mode for the switch when receiving SWITCH ALL commands.
The following option values may be configured -:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Exclude from All On and All Off groups |
| 1 | Include in All On group |
| 2 | Include in All Off group |
| 255 | Include in All On and All Off groups |
This parameter has the configuration ID switchall_mode and is of type INTEGER.
Association groups allow the device to send unsolicited reports to the controller, or other devices in the network. Using association groups can allow you to eliminate polling, providing instant feedback of a device state change without unnecessary network traffic.
The Energy Switch + supports 1 association group.
Association group 1 supports 1 node.
