Greenwave PowerNode NS310-F Smart Outlet Adapter Quick Start

The Greenwave PowerNode NS310-F is a smart outlet adapter that allows you to monitor and control your devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or smartphone. You can control the energy consumption of each connected device automatically, turn devices on or off remotely through a Web browser or smartphone, or set a schedule for automatically turning your devices on or off at pre-defined times.

Quick Start

S
In order to include the device into a Z-Wave network, press and hold the sync button for two
seconds until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a clockwise
-rotating pattern,
which shows that the PowerNode is attempting inclusion.

Please refer to the chapters below for detailed information about all aspects of the products

usage.

What is Z-Wave?

This device is equipped with wireless communication complying to the Z-Wave standard. Z-Wave
is the international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It is
using the frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication. Each
message is reconfirmed (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a
repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of
the transmitter.

Z-Wave differentiates between Controllers and Slaves. Slaves are either sensors (S) transmitting
metered or measured data or actuators (A) capable to execute an action. Controllers are either
static mains powered controllers (C) also referred to as gateways or mobile battery operated
remote controls(R). This results in a number of possible communication patterns within a Z-Wave
network that are partly or completely supported by a
specific device.

1. Controllers control actuators

2. Actuators report change of status back to
controller

3. Sensors report change of status of measured
values to controller

4. Sensors directly control actuators

5. Actuators control other actuators
6. Remote controls send signals to static controllers to trigger scenes or other actions
7. Remote controls control other actuators.

There are two different role a controller can have. There is always one single primary controller that is managing the network and
including/excluding devices. The controller may have other functions - like control buttons - as well. All other controllers don't manage
the network itself but can control other devices. They are called secondary controllers. The image also shows that its not possible to
operate a sensor just from a remote control. Sensors only communicate with static controllers.

Product description

The GreenWave Reality PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your appliances and
electronics to electrical outlets and your smart home network so that you can monitor and control
your devices’ power usage remotely through a Web browser or smartphone. You can control the
energy consumption of each connected device automatically. These user-defined Smart Controls
allow you to turn devices on or off remotely through a Web browser or smartphone or to set a
schedule for automatically turning your devices on or off at pre-defined times. It is also possible to
set the wheel to “lock” (padlock symbol). This function blocks the smart home gateway’s access
and prevents from inadvertently shut-off.

Before Device is installed

Please read carefully the enclosed user manual before installation of the radio-actuator, in order
to ensure an error-free functioning.

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation
guidelines/norms may do works with 230 Volt mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product,
the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

The product is permitted only for proper use as specified in the user manual. Any kind of
guarantee claim has to be forfeited if changes, modifications or painting are undertaken. The
product must be checked for damages immediately after unpacking. In the case of damages, the
product must not be operated in any case. If a danger-free operation of the equipment cannot be
assured, the voltage supply has to be interrupted immediately and the equipment has to be
protected from unintended operation.

Installation Guidelines

Device sketches

1. PowerNode plug: Prongs that you plug into your power outlet.

2. PowerNode outlet: Outlet where you plug in your appliance or electrical device.

3. Room color selector: Wheel that you rotate you specify the associated room color.

4. Sync button: Button that you press to sync PowerNode with Gateway.

5. Indicator: Button that shows current activity and status of synced devices.
Status Indicator
Off (no color): All PowerNode ports connected to the Gateway are off.

Steady white: All PowerNode ports connected to the Gateway are on.

Steady green: Some PowerNode ports connected to the Gateway are on (some are off).
Flashing green multiple bars: PowerNode is out of range from the Gateway. You can move the
PowerNode closer to the Gateway to improve reception. Or you can add additional PowerNodes
closer to the Gateway so that the PowerNode can connect to the Gateway via the additional
PowerNodes (PowerNodes can “piggy back” on each other’s network connection).

Rotating green double bars: PowerNode is in association mode to connect with the Gateway.

Rotating green single bar: PowerNode is in disassociation mode to disconnect from the
Gateway.

Behavior within the Z-Wave network

I On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to join
an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is
called Inclusion. Devices can also leave a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both
processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller will be
turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Please refer to your primary controllers manual
on how to turn your controller into inclusion or exclusion mode. Only if the primary controller is in
inclusion or exclusion mode, this device can join or leave the network. Leaving the network - i.e.
being excluded - sets the device back to factory default.

Frequently asked questions

Press and hold the sync button for two seconds until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a clockwise-rotating pattern.

Z-Wave is the international standard for wireless communication in smart homes and buildings. It uses the frequency of 868.42 MHz to realize a very stable and secure communication.

The sync button is used to include or exclude the PowerNode from the Z-Wave network.

The PowerNode is out of range from the Gateway. You can move the PowerNode closer to the Gateway to improve reception or add additional PowerNodes closer to the Gateway.

The PowerNode can be in association mode (for connecting to the Gateway), disassociation mode (for disconnecting from the Gateway) or in a state where it is connected to the Gateway and all ports are on, some ports are on, or all ports are off.

You can set the wheel to “lock” (padlock symbol) to block the smart home gateway’s access and prevent from inadvertently shutting it off.
