1: Set Ignore Start Level Bit When Transmitting Dim Commands
Defines the behavior when transmitting dim commands
Overview
The ZDW103 can send Dim commands to Z-Wave enabled dimmers. The Dim command has a start level embedded in it. A dimmer receiving this command will start dimming from that start level. However, the command also has a bit that indicates whether the dimmer should ignore the start level. If the bit is set to 1, the dimmer will ignore the start level and instead start dimming from its current level. To clear this bit, configure this parameter to the value of 0.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_1_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 1 | |
| Options | Use transmisison start level (0) | |||
| Ignore transmisison start level (1) |
2: Suspend Group 4
Disable transmission of command to Group 4
Overview
You may wish to disable transmitting commands to Z-Wave devices that are in Group 4 without “un-associating” those devices from the group. Setting parameter 2 to the value of 1 will stop the ZDW103 from transmitting to devices that are “associated” into Group 4.
It is possible that you may only want the units in Group 4 to track when the dimmer is being turned ON and OFF and not when dimming.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_2_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 0 | |
| Options | Enable transmission to Group 4 (0) | |||
| Disable transmission to Group 4 (1) |
3: Night Light
Defines the behavior of the blue LED.
Overview
Default is Night Light mode where LED is on when switch is off.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_3_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 0 | |
| Options | LED on when switch is ON (0) | |||
| LED on when switch is OFF (1) |
4: Invert Switch
Change the top of the switch to OFF and the bottom of the switch to ON.
Overview
Note: If you invert the switches and also install the product upside down, remember the load will now be controlled by the right, not the left switch.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_4_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 0 | |
| Options | No (0) | |||
| Yes (1) |
5: Ignore Start-Level (Receiving)
This dimmer will start dimming from its current level.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_5_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 0 | |
| Options | No (0) | |||
| Yes (1) |
6: Don’t Send Level Command After Transmitting Dim Commands
Change behavior of dim level information update
Overview
When you press and hold the bottom of the ZDW103 paddle once, the Z-Wave devices that are associated into Group 1 are sent the Dim command. After you release the paddle, the ZDW103 follows up by commanding the devices to go to the same level of the ZDW103. By default, the ZDW103 is set not to do this. To enable ZDW103 to do this set this parameter to 0.
| Property | Value | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Configuration ID | config_6_1 | |||
| Data Type | INTEGER | Default Value | 1 | |
| Options | Send level command (0) | |||
| Don’t send level command (1) |

13: Disable Group 4 During a Dim Command
Change behavior of command to Group 4 during Dim Command
Overview
After the ZDW103 is commanded to stop dimming, it will then command the Z-Wave devices in Group 4 to the ZDW103’s new level. To prevent the ZDW103 from commanding the Z-Wave devices in Group 4 during this particular occurrence, set Parameter 13 to the value of 1.
