The Automation Systems Application with Z-WAVE Technology, "AEL-ZWAVE", has been designed by EDIBON to study the most important devices used in home and building smart automation wireless systems with Z-WAVE technology. With this application users will learn to schedule, develop and wiring of Z-WAVE devices with different applications such as security systems, access control, fighting systems, illumination control, heating control, video surveillance and energy monitoring. For this purpose, this application has temperature sensors, presence sensors, shutter controllers, flooding sensors, lights control switches, brightness sensors, among others. After learning the concepts about basic concepts, the user will learn to develop scenes to simulate real situations such as energy management in a house, the configuration of an anti-intrusion system, the automation of the brightness according to the exterior illumination, the temperature control of a room, the surveillance with a video camera, etc.
For this purpose, the "AEL-ZWAVE" application consists of different elements that allow studying different fields with this technology.
The purposes of each is detailed below:
- ZWAVE-AI. Z-WAVE Anti Intrusion System.
This Z-WAVE Anti Intrusion System consists of a conjunction of sensors and actuators which allow the user to configure an authentic anti intrusion system. For this, the Z-WAVE Anti Intrusion System consists includes a motion sensor, a door and window open sensor, a vibration sensor, a key pad to arm and disarm the alarm and a siren. With these elements, different intrusion situations can be simulated and the previously acquired knowledge about intrusion systems will be tested by the user.
- ZWAVE-FFG. Z-WAVE Flood, Fire and Gas Security System.
This Z-WAVE Flooding, Fire and Gas Security System consists of a conjunction of sensors and actuators which allow the user to configure an authentic security system for homes and other installations. For this, the Z-WAVE Flooding, Fire and Gas Security System includes several devices such as gas sensor, smoke sensor and flood sensor as well as different actuators that will warm and avoid major damages. The Z-WAVE Flooding, Fire and Gas Security System includes two actuators: a siren to warn us of danger events and a motorized valve for water and gas. With these elements could be simulated different events and the previously acquired knowledge about security systems will be tested by the user.
- ZWAVE-LC. Z-WAVE Lighting Control.
This Z-WAVE Lighting Control consists of a conjunction of sensors, actuators and loads which allow the user to simulate different events to program illumination control scenes and energy consumption. For this, the Z-WAVE Lighting Control includes a motion, temperatures and brightness multi sensor module whose purpose is to detect the presence of a person. With a properly scheduling, this sensor will activate/deactivate a lamp according to different conditions such as, for instance, day or night or if this lamp was turned on with a manual switch previously. Additionally, the Z-WAVE Lighting Control includes a commutator actuator, a remote control with 5 buttons, a commutation plug with energy measurement, a push button and a dimmer. In the other hand, this Z-WAVE Lighting Control has three types of loads: halogen lamp and led lamp to compare the energy consumption. The third load is a resistive component to be connected to the smart plug to monitor the energy consumption and on/off functions.
The Z-WAVE Lighting Control includes two actuators: a siren to warn us of danger events and a motorized valve for water and gas. With these elements could be simulated different events and the previously acquired knowledge about security systems will be tested by the user.
With this Z-WAVE Lighting Control, the user can acquire the following learning: star-up and registration of the control central, connecting the tablet or smartphone (not included), programming of each device based on rules and preset scenes.
- ZWAVE-HC. Z-WAVE Heating Control.
This Z-WAVE Heating Control consists of a conjunction of temperature, motion and brightness sensors and a series of actuators which allow the user to simulate different events to program temperature control scenes. The Z-WAVE Heating Control includes radiator thermostats, a wall thermostat and an electric heating with electrical resistor. This set of elements allow us to study both electric and water heating systems.
With this Z-WAVE Heating Control, the user can acquire the following learning: star-up and registration of the control central, connecting the tablet or smartphone (not included), programming of each device based on rules and preset scenes.
- ZWAVE-VS. Z-WAVE Video Surveillance.
This Z-WAVE Video Surveillance consists of an outdoor wireless video camera which allow the user to simulate different events of video surveillance.
With this Z-WAVE Video Surveillance, the user can acquire the following learning: star-up and registration of the control central, connecting the tablet or smartphone (not included), programming of each device based on rules and preset scenes.
- ZWAVE-AC. Z-WAVE Access Control.
This Z-WAVE Access Control consists of an electronic lock which allows the user to simulate different access control events with the previous programming of the device. In addition, it is included a cutting edge video entry system with which the user will learn the most important aspects about installation, setting and star-up of these type of devices.
With this Z-WAVE Access Control, the user can acquire the following learning: star-up and registration of the control central, connecting the tablet or smartphone (not included), programming of each device based on rules and preset scenes.
- ZWAVE-SC. Z-WAVE Shutter Control.
This Z-WAVE Shutter Control consists of a shutter motor control module a as well as a conjunction of push buttons which allow the control of it. In addition, the Z-WAVE Shutter Control includes a shutter simulator to show real situations.
With this Z-WAVE Shutter Control, the user can acquire the following learning: star-up and registration of the control central, connecting the tablet or smartphone (not included), programming of each device based on rules and preset scenes.
