WD500Z-1 - ZWave |
{% include base.html %}
This describes the Z-Wave device WD500Z-1, manufactured by Linear Corp with the thing type UID of linear_wd500z_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 WD500Z-1 supports routing. This allows the device to communicate using other routing enabled devices as intermediate routers. This device is also able to participate in the routing of data between other devices in the mesh network.
500W, 120 VAC Wall Mounted Dimmer
Pushing the top or bottom of the switch, the WD500Z-1 allows the user to include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave network.
Pushing the top or bottom of the switch, the WD500Z-1 allows the user to include or exclude the module from the Z-Wave network.
The default Command Poll Period of 1500ms can cause issues with state updating properly after a remote command is received due to the transition period between states of around 2.5s. This manifests as a switch turned fully off in real life, but showing as 50% on in the OpenHAB UI.
Recommended to update this setting to > 2500ms to provide more consistent results.
The following table summarises the channels available for the WD500Z-1 -:
| Channel Name | Channel ID | Channel Type | Category | Item Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dimmer | 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 following table provides a summary of the 6 configuration parameters available in the WD500Z-1. Detailed information on each parameter can be found in the sections below.
| Param | Name | Description |

This parameter has the configuration ID switchall_mode and is of type INTEGER.
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 WD500Z-1 supports 3 association groups.
Association group 1 supports 5 nodes.
Association group 2 supports 5 nodes.
Association group 3 supports 5 nodes.
