Z-Wave RAZBERRY Plug-On Module User Manual

Z-Wave RAZBERRY Plug-On Module

Installation steps:

1. Install the RaZberry 7 shield on the Raspberry Pi GPIO
2. Install Z-Way software The RaZberry 7 shield is designed to work with the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, but is fully compatible with all previous models, such as: A, A+, B, B+, 2B, Zero, Zero W, 3A+, 3B, 3B+. The maximum potential of the RaZberry 7 is achieved together with Z-Way software.

There are several ways to install Z-Way:

1. Download a flash card image based on Raspberry Pi OS with pre-installed Z-Way (flash card minimum size is 4 GB) https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/raspberryPiOS_zway.img.zip
2. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from an apt repository: wget -q -O – https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall | sudo bash
3. Install Z-Way on Raspberry Pi OS from a deb package: https://storage.z-wave.me/z-way-server/ It is recommended to use the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS.NOTE: RaZberry 7 is also compatible with other third party Z-Wave software supporting Silicon Labs Z-Wave Serial API. After the successful installation of Z-Way, make sure that Raspberry Pi has Internet access. In the same local network go to https://find.z-wave.me, you will see the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi below the login form. Click on the IP to reach the Z-Way Web UI initial setup screen. The welcome screen shows the Remote ID and will prompt you to set the administrator password.NOTE: If you are in the same local network as the Raspberry Pi, you can access Z-Way Web UI using a browser by typing in the address bar: http://RASPBERRY_ IP:8083. After setting the administrator password you can access the Z-Way Web UI from anywhere in the world, to do this go to https://find.z-wave.me, type ID/ login (e.g. 12345/admin) and enter your password.

PRIVACY NOTE:

Z-Way by default connects to the server find.z-wave.me in order to provide remote access. If you don’t need this service, you can turn off this feature after logging into Z-Way (Main menu > Settings > Remote Access). All communications between Z-Way and the server find.z-wave.me are encrypted and protected by certificates.

INTERFACE

1. Dashboard
2. Rooms
3. Widgets
4. Events
5. Quick automation
6. Main menu
7. Device widgets
8. Widget settings

1. Favourite devices are displayed on the Dashboard
2. A devices can be assigned to a Room
3. The full list of all devices is in Widgets
4. Every sensor or relay triggerings are displayed in Events
5. Set up scenes, rules, schedules and alarms in Quick Automation
6. Apps and system settings are in the Main menu
7. The device can provide several functions, for example a 3-in-1 Multisensor provides: motion sensor, light sensor and temperature sensor. In this case therewill be three separate widget
8. with individual settingsAdvanced automation can be configured using local and online Apps. Apps allow you to set up rules like “IF > THEN”, to create scheduled scenes, set auto off timers. Using applications you can also add support for additional devices:IP cameras, Wi-Fi plugs, EnOcean sensors and set up integrations with Apple HomeKit, MQTT, IFTTT etc. More than 50 applications are built-in and more than 100 can be downloaded for free from the Online Store. Applications are managed in the Main menu > Apps.

SHIELD DESCRIPTION

1. The connector sits on pins 1-10 on the Raspberry Pi
2. Duplicate connector
3. Two LEDs for operation indication
4. U.FL pad to connect an external antenna. When connecting the antenna, turn the jumper R7 by 90°

LEARN MORE ABOUT RAZBERRY 7Full documentation, training videos and technical support can be found on the website https://z-wave.me/raz.You can change the radio frequency of the RaZberry 7 shield at any time by going to the Expert UI http://RASPBERRY_IP:8083/expert, Network > Control and select the desired frequency from the list. The RaZberry 7 shield constantly improves and adds new features. To use them, you need to update the firmware and activate the necessary functions. This is done from the Z-Way Expert UI under Network > Controller Information.
