Introduction The GreenWave Reality platform helps create a smart, energy-efficient energy efficient home through the monitoring and controlling of your appliances and electronics (referred to as “devices”).. You can conserve energy with minimal impact to your lifestyle by using our products to easily manage your devices.
PowerNode Overview The GreenWave Reality PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your devices to electrical outlets and your GreenWave Reality energy management man system so that you can monitor and control your devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or smartphone application. PowerNodes are available with a one-port one or multi-port configuration. The PowerNode automatically connects to your GreenWave GreenWave Reality Gateway (the device that connects to your home network).
One-Port PowerNode 1. PowerNode plug: plug Prongs that you plug into your electrical outlet. 1 2. PowerNode socket: Port where you plug in your device. 3.

Room Colors Your PowerNode has a corner wheel with colored numbers to represent the room or device that the PowerNode is powering. Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). For example, you can set the room color to blue. Then, when you access your account through the Web or smartphone application, the corresponding room is identified by the same blue color as your PowerNode.
one generic grouping when you access your account through the Web or smartphone application. You can still monitor the devices’ energy use information and use them with Smart Controls as if they were categorized under a standard wheel color. The only difference is the manner in which they are grouped under your account.
Indicators Your PowerNode has an indicator that displays any of the following patterns and colors to show you its current status: Off (no color): All PowerNode ports are powered off. Steady white in center: All PowerNode ports are powered on. Steady green in center: Some ports on a multi-port PowerNode are powered on (some are off). Two flashing green bars on each side of white flashing center: PowerNode cannot communicate with Gateway. This may occur if the PowerNode is out of range from the Gateway.

Installation Before you install your PowerNode and devices, make sure that your GreenWave Reality Gateway is already connected to your energy management system and operating (refer to the instructionss that came with your Gateway). The following process summarizes the steps to follow to install your PowerNode: 1. Set the PowerNode room color. 2. Choose the device to connect and its location. 3.
1. Set the PowerNode Room Color Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). The room color selection is strictly to help you identify the room when you monitor and control its power usage. Any color setting you use will work automatically with your Gateway. Refer to the section above on room colors. 2. Choose the Device and Location Choose the device you would like to connect to your PowerNode.
If the PowerNode is not part of a package with a GreenWave Reality Gateway, then you must sync it with your Gateway (a process called “inclusion”) so that the PowerNode and Gateway can communicate with each other. Verify that your Gateway is plugged in and working, and then perform the following steps: 1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. 2. On the Gateway, press and release the sync button once. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern.
4. Prepare the PowerNode for the Device Make sure the PowerNode is plugged into the electrical outlet. Turn the PowerNode off by pressing the power button, which will illuminate white to indicate the power is off. 5. Plug in the Device and Turn on the PowerNode Plug the device you want to power into the PowerNode port. Turn the PowerNode on by pressing the power button, which will illuminate green to indicate the power is on. Turn the device on. The device is now part of your GreenWave home network.
overloading. If you would like to control more devices, you can easily add more PowerNodes to your energy management system. Keep radio signals clear. Your Gateway and PowerNodes have antennas built-in for radio communication with Internet services and other devices on your energy management system.
Common Z-Wave Z Tasks The GreenWave Reality PowerNodes communicate wirelessly with the Gateway by use of Z-Wave Z mesh networking, which is a robust connection technology designed for home automation with security and privacy in mind. The more Z-Wave Wave compatible devices installed in your home, the better coverage your private GreenWave Reality energy management system will have.
To complete the inclusion process perform the following steps: 1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. 2. On the Gateway, press and release the sync button once. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern. When this rotating “inclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity indicator, the Gateway is ready to be synced with the PowerNode.
If all bars on the activity indicator flash instead of forming a solid circle, then the PowerNode inclusion process has failed, and you must start over. Network Exclusion Process Note: If your PowerNode is new and has never been used before, then you should not need to perform the exclusion process.
4. Press and hold the sync button for approximately one second until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a counter-clockwise rotating pattern, indicating that the PowerNode is attempting exclusion. During this process, verify that the Gateway activity indicator still displays a counter-clockwise rotating pattern. If not, then the Gateway is not in exclusion mode and you must return to step 2. 5.
Safety Information Indoor Use Only Your PowerNode should be used only in dry, indoor locations. Do Do not use your PowerNode in high-humidity high locations such as greenhouses, saunas, washrooms, or patios. Do not use your PowerNode in locations where it can get wet such as near aquariums or running water. Do Not Disassemble Your PowerNode has no user-servic serviceable eable parts inside.
