Z-Stick 7 is intended for indoor use in dry
locations only. Do not use in damp, moist,
and / or wet locations.
Quick start.
The following will step you through using
Z-Stick 7 when it is attached to a host
controller as a primary controller.
Please make sure the host controller is
pre-installed; this includes any drivers that
the corresponding operating system may
need. In most cases, the host controller
automatically installs the required USB
driver. If not, the USB driver can be
downloaded from www.silabs.com part
CP2102N. Expanded quick start steps are
available at support.aeotec.com/zs7.
1. Plug Z-Stick 7 into a host controller (that
can be a PC, Mac, Raspberry Pi, etc).
2. Determine the virtual port that your
Z-Stick 7 is connected to.
●
Windows - You would look at Ports
& LPT under Device Manager.
Usually, Z-Stick 7 shows as a COMX
device (where X can be 0-1000).
●
Linux - under cmd prompt, type in
“dmesg | grep tty” which will give you
a list of all tty devices connected.
Usually Z-Stick 7 shows as a
/dev/ttyUSB0 device.
●
OSX - Choose Apple > System
Preferences, then click Network. You
can find Z-Stick 7 as a USB Modem
device (/dev/cu.usbmodem).
3. Open the selected third party software.
4. Following your third party software
instructions for connecting a Z-Wave
USB Adapter. Select the COM or virtual
port Z-Stick 7 is associated to.
In most cases, any devices already paired
with Z-Stick 7 network will automatically
show up in the software’s interface.
To include a new device into the system.
1. Set the third party software into its ‘add
device’ mode in order to connect a
Z-Wave device to your Z-Wave system.
Refer to the third party software
instructions if you are unsure of how to
perform this step.
2. Press Action Button on Aeotec Z-Wave
device which you want to add into the
Z-Wave network. If it is non-Aeotec
Z-Wave device, please refer to its
manual for inclusion operation.
3. You will see the name of the device on
the software’s interface when it is
successfully added.
4. Repeat step 2 and 3 to include any
further devices.
How Z-Stick 7 controls paired Z-Wave
devices ultimately depends on the
control scheme set by the third party
Z-Wave software you choose.
