1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
Z-Ware is a Z-Wave controller middleware running over Z-Wave over IP (Z/IP) interface as a Web
Gateway. Z-Ware Apps (Z-Apps) are web pages built into the Z-Ware Web Server providing UI for
phones and tablets/PCs. Z-Ware can be run in either Consumer Electronic (CE) on BBB (BeagleBone
Black https://beagleboard.org/black) or RPi3 (Raspberry Pi 3
https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/raspberry-pi-3-model-b/) platforms in the home or Portal mode on a
Linux Virtual Machine (VM) in the Cloud as shown below.
Figure 1: Z-Ware CE running within a home on a RPi3
Figure 2: Z-Ware Portal in the Cloud connected to multiple homes
This document covers the usage of Z-Ware Web Server & Apps for both CE & Portal and will explicitly
state if instructions are for any particular mode.
The diagrams shown in this guide are for Windows with Internet Explorer 8 unless otherwise specified.
Your experience may vary slightly depending on your platform configuration.

2 OVERVIEW
2.1 Z-Ware Library
The Z-Ware Library, which abstracts the ZIPGW, provides CC level APIs, discovery of device capability
& state, is statically linked into the Z-Ware web server. It provides the following features.
2.1.1 Role
Z-Ware is a Z-Wave Plus Security Enabled device in the Static PC Controller class, that is mainly used in
the role of a Static Update Controller (SUC) Identity Server (SIS), and the Z-Wave Plus role of a Central
Static Controller.
As a Z/IP secure remote client, it works in conjunction with a ZIPGW such as the ZIPR. Z-Ware sets
itself as the (first) unsolicited IP address of the ZIPGW that it is connected with. Z-Ware works with 3
versions of ZIPGWs using the following features:

S2 with CSA/IOB
For Client Side Authentication (CSA), see Security 2 CC in [7]. For Inclusion or Replace Failed Node on
Behalf of another Inclusion Controller (IOB) – see Inclusion Controller CC in [6].
2.1.2 Network Operations
Z-Ware supports Inclusion (with CSA and IOB), Exclusion, Reset (Set Default), Replace/Remove Failed
Node (with CSA & IOB), Send Node Info. If it is assigned a primary controller role, it will always upgrade
itself to an SIS unless there is an SUC already present. Hence it cannot initiate controller shift as a
primary. However it can also be used as a secondary or inclusion controller in which case many of its
features cannot be used.
Z-Ware supports Set Learn mode. Controller replication (copy) is achieved through Inclusion and Set
Learn Mode.
Additionally it also supports Update Node and Update Network. Z-Ware discovers a Z-Wave node’s
capabilities during inclusion through a series of comprehensive queries. This process may take some
time, especially for a secure Frequently Listening Routing Slave (FLIRs) device. This operation may be
aborted at any time. Node Update re-queries the information that was obtained during inclusion. This
allows discovering any changes that were not made through this Z-Ware. Network Update requests
topology from an SUC if available, and then performs neighbor update if available or node update to
every node it is aware of.
2.1.3 Device Control
Z-Ware can be operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other
manufacturers. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of
vendor to increase reliability of the network.

Z-Ware is able to control/monitor Z-Wave-certified device of different categories from various vendors
through their CCs. CCs that are automatically handled are not exposed to the user. Z-Ware controls the

added by Z-Ware to the ZIPGW NIF
** INCLUSION_CONTROLLER & NW_MGMT_INCLUSION CCs are only present if the ZIPGW is an
inclusion controller.
2.1.5 Network Initialization
The following steps are carried out during network initialization:
1. Get ZIPGW’s Z-Wave Home ID, Node ID & Home Area Network (HAN) IP address.
2. Get ZIPGW attached controller’s cached node information.

2.1.7 Network Update
The following steps are carried out to update the network:
1. Repeat steps 1 to 4 of Network Initialization (see 0).
2. Request network update by using the command
COMMAND_CLASS_NETWORK_MANAGEMENT_BASIC -> NETWORK_UPDATE_REQUEST
3. Get node list of the HAN.
4. Resolve all the nodes in node list into corresponding HAN IPv6 addresses.
5. Request node neighbor update for each of the node in the node list. Repeat for up to 3 iterations
if the request node neighbor update failed for some nodes that may be out-of-range.
6. Perform Node Update for each node in network (See 0).
2.1.8 Background Polling
Z-Ware Library performs automatic background polling to cache device supported interface details (e.g.
supported sensor types and units) and device values (e.g. sensor readings for each supported type). For
always-on devices, polling is carried out for all relevant interfaces in a device followed by an interval of
10 seconds before the next device is polled. For FLIRS (Frequently Listening Routing Slave) devices,
polling is carried out only every 12 hours per device so as not to run the device’s batteries out. For
sleeping devices, polling is carried out whenever they wake up. As sleeping devices will go to sleep
mode when they don’t receive any Z-Wave messages, this type of polling has higher priority than the
other two types of polling. The polling sequence of CCs are the same as those listed for each endpoint
in Section 0.
2.1.9 Post-Set Polling
Some devices take time to reach their target settings especially mechanical devices. Z-Ware Library
performs post-set polling for door lock, multi-level switch motor and barrier operator interfaces. For door
locks, the polling intervals are 1, 2, 3 seconds; whereas for multi-level switch, the intervals are 1, 2, 3, 4
seconds before timeout occurs. For Barrier Operator CC, the intervals are 1 to 7 seconds incrementally.
If the endpoint supports the Supervision CC, then polling is not performed and notification is expected
from the device on completion. This allows the client to be informed if/when the device has reached its
target state
2.2 Scenes
A Z-Ware Scene is a set of actions that may be activated by triggers. An action is a Z-Wave SET
command, for e.g., to turn on a switch. A trigger may be a user request through a UI element, by
schedule or on an event. A schedule can be set to execute a Scene on any or every day of the week at
a preset time. A schedule remains active till it is disabled or deleted. An event refers to the receipt of a
Z-Wave report, typically a sensor report e.g. motion sensed. The state of a scene, i.e. whether it is
completely activated, can also be monitored.
A Z-Ware Security Scene is a special Scene that can be armed or disarmed by a key fob or a door lock
event or through the UI. It can only be triggered when it is armed. When triggered, it can send out alerts
using email and/or SMS. Arming, disarming and triggering can also be configured to activate normal
scenes.
Supported actions are Basic, Binary Switch, Multilevel Switch, Door Lock, Thermostat Setpoint CC SET
commands. Supported events are Binary Sensor, Multilevel Sensor, Alarm/Notification, Door Lock CC
REPORT commands as well as a Basic SET command received from trigger sources.

2.3 Bundled Z-Ware Apps
Consumer-friendly UIs targeted for Tablet/PC & Phone are included, as well as an Engineering version
meant to demonstrate the server’s capabilities.
Table 9: Bundled Z-Ware Apps & URIs
Target
Base URI
Tablet/PC
/ui/pc/index.html
Phone
/ui/phone/index.html
Engineering
/ui/eng/index.html
On login, the Tablet or Phone UI is automatically selected by the server based on the User Agent of the
web browser used.
Engineering UI exposes advanced Z-Wave interfaces related to the Association and Configuration CCs,
and it always exposes Basic CC control for all endpoints. However it does not currently support S2
security based inclusion and replace fail node operations. The Tablet and Phone UI only expose the
Basic CC control for non-controller devices that are unknown and have no other way of controlling them,
in order to reduce clutter on the screen.
Full screen UI experience on iOS & Androind are provided at:
https://itunes.apple.com/sg/app/z-ware/id886591150
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sigmadesigns.Z-Wave
Users can build their own apps over the Z-Ware Web API – see [1].

3.2 Registration (Portal Only)
To create the Portal account, the user needs to fill in the registration details.
Figure 4: Registration Page
First & last names are alphabets only and between 3 to 25 characters in length. Username is of the
same length but can be alphanumeric, in addition supporting both ‘_’ (underscore) and ‘.’ (period) special
characters. Password must be between 8 to 16 characters in length.
The Remote Access Code (RAC) & PIN can be found on the label of the purchased ZIPR. The time
zone setting allows the server to convert time information in accordance to the locality of the ZIPR. For
ZIPGW running on other non-ZIPR platforms, the platform’s Ethernet MAC address should be used as
INS12903-19 Z-Ware Web User Guide 2018-03-05
silabs.com | Building a more connected world.
Page 11 of 49
RAC by the user & the PIN will not be prompted. The Ethernet MAC address can be obtained as
specified in the ZIPGW User Guide.
On registration, an email is sent to the registered email address which contains an unregister link in case
the user entered the wrong details & wishes to reregister. For ZIPGW running on non ZIPR platforms, a
link to download certificates is also enclosed and these certificates will have to be downloaded to the
platform as specified in the ZIPGW User Guide.
3.3 Reset password (Portal Only)
The account name needs to be specified to confirm. An email will be sent with an unregister link, and the
process will be the same as creating a new account.

4 TABLET/PC & PHONE UI
For the Tablet UI, the main menu appears on the left while for the Phone UI, it appears at the bottom.
There are not many other differences between the 2 UIs except layout. On the top right, for the Portal
version only, an icon shows the connection to the portal, blue when connected, grey otherwise. Users
can also log out on the top right of the Tablet UI.
4.1 Home
The home page allows monitoring & manual activation of a list of scenes.
Figure 6: Tablet UI Home
There are 2 scenes in this diagram. All scenes have a clapper board icon and those that have
configured schedule or event triggers have a clock superimposed on the icon. Security Scenes have a
bell superimposed on the icon. The turning wheel at the top right indicates that the scenes are updating
their status. Scene status is updated only when Home or Scenes buttons are clicked, or when a scene is
triggered. Clicking on a scene triggers it manually, turning its tab blue and starting the status update. If
for some reason, it is not activated, it returns to its original color. As the same devices may be activated
by multiple scenes, triggering 1 scene may affect the state of multiple scenes. The “Toggle View” button,
only on the Tablet UI, can switch the scenes arrangement to columns and rows, instead of just 1 column.

4.2 Scenes
The Scenes page looks the same as Home page except for a ‘New Scene’ that allows scene creation
and that clicking on a scene allows viewing and editing it.
4.2.1 Create
The ‘Create Scene’ option shows a popup that allows naming the scene and selecting the devices that
will, for normal scenes, be controlled through actions, while for security scenes, cause an alarm. Basic
Set Command can be used as an event or an action as is exposed optionally only with Proprietary flag to
prevent cluttering up the screen with devices.

Figure 10: Tab UI - New Security Scene Page
4.2.2 Edit/View
Clicking on a scene allows it to be viewed or edited to add more schedules, events or action devices
through the add buttons at the top right of the relevant collapsible compartments. The scene or elements
in the scene can be deleted by the cross buttons.
4.2.2.1 Normal Scene
There are 3 collapsible compartments for Actions, Schedules and Triggers which allow adding/deleting
elements within limits shown on the title bar.
In the Action compartment, devices are set to the Target value on the right of the compartment when the
Scene is activated, while the left side shows the current value, and the icon identifying the interface. The
active indicator is blue if the current and target values are aligned, and gray otherwise.
In Schedules, multiple days of the week can be selected along with the trigger time. In Events, the
trigger condition can be set on the right while the current state is shown on the left.
