To include devices in the Z-Wave network, you can use the Z-Wave implementation of the Discovery Device Item which is a command abstraction for all different protocol implementations, or the ZWaveNetworkController Device Item which also offers all Z-Wave protocol specific functionalities.

  1. Go to the IoT -> FIM tab.
  2. Find the Z-Wave Discovery Device Item.
  3. Click the mbs_zwave_webconsole_icon_v90.png button.

Execute the start operation by clicking the mbs_zwave_webconsole_icon2_v92.png button, or specify the duration of the pairing mode if needed.
