RF9500 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device RF9500, manufactured by Cooper Wiring Devices with the thing type UID of cooper_rf9500_00_000.
The device is in the category of Wall Switch, defining Any device attached to the wall that controls a binary status of something, for ex. a light switch.
The RF9500 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is unable to participate in the routing of data from other devices.
The RF9500 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.
The RF9500 is a battery operated device that allows you to install a switch/dimmer almost anywhere you desire and control (On/Off/Dim/Brighten) loads/lights wired to ASPIRE RF devices using the Associations.
Press the switch one time to include it in the network. The LED will stop blinking after the device is successfully included
Press the switch one time to exclude it from the network.
The RF9500 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.
Press the switch one time
The following table summarises the channels available for the RF9500 -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brightness | switch_dimmer | switch_dimmer | DimmableLight | Dimmer |
The brightness channel allows to control the brightness of a light. It is also possible to switch the light on and off.
The switch_dimmer channel is of type switch_dimmer and supports the Dimmer item and is in the DimmableLight category.
The device has no configuration parameters defined.
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 RF9500 supports 1 association group.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
