Adding Z-Wave devices

After configuring your Z-Wave controller, add drivers corresponding to the Z-Wave devices to your project. Many Z-Wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver, like a door or window driver, added into your Control4 project to represent the Z-Wave device in a Control4 Navigator.

Z-Wave device drivers

To add a Z-Wave device driver into your project:

  1. In System Design, enter the name of driver in the Search tab.

  2. Double-click on the driver to add it into the project. You can also right-click on the driver and select Add to Project to add the driver.

  1. If you have more than a couple Z-Wave devices, it is recommended that you rename this driver to help with troubleshooting multiple devices. Right-click on the driver and select Rename. Enter a descriptive name and press Enter.

Most Z-Wave device drivers will also need a motorization, sensor, or light driver. For example, a window contact sensor device driver also needs the Window Contact Sensor driver and an outlet module device driver needs the Z-Wave Dimmable Light (Outlet) driver.

Motorization, sensor, and light drivers

To add a motorization, sensor or light driver into your project:
