With WiDom your home is under control.

With WiDom your home is under control.

WiDom transforms your home and your way of living it. There are many utilization scenarios. Here are some examples that show how home automation can make everything easier.

Turn OFF and close all

The convenience of having a single comand to close and turn OFF everything allows you to leave the house with serenity, without the thought of having to check the lights left ON or the shutters left open, for your safety and to save time and money.

The scenario turn OFF and all shows how you can close the blinds and turn Off the lights when you leave the house, or when you leave one area of your home to enter another, for example, moving from the living to the sleeping area.

Referring to the Figure 2 below:

W1 and W2 are WiDom Universal Relay Swicth

W3 and W4 are WiDom Universal Roller Shutter

W1 is used to control the sitting room light (L1) and for the activation of the scenario switch off and close all through the sitting room button (P1);
W2 is used to control the dining room light (L2) through the button (P2) and via Z-Wave network by W1 associations;
W3 is used to control the sitting roller shutter (T3) through the button (P3) and via Z-Wave network by W1 associations;
W4 is used to control the dining roller shutter (T4) through the button (P4) and via Z-Wave network by W1 associations.

Active Energy Saving Management

If you have a photovoltaic system you know that often, the amount of energy produced during the day is higher than the one actually consumed by the users at that time. What happens in these cases? The surplus energy produced is transferred with “net metering system” to the public electricity grid, and but later when you will need the energy you will have to pay for it.

How can you avoid this problem?

With the active management of energy saving, it is possible to exploit the energy surplus immediately, and as a result save on the bill. It is possible to activate up to three distinct domestic users that are activated automatically when the energy power, maintaining a certain threshold, should instead be sold to the public network.

 

Products used in this scenario

Energy Driven Switch

Scenario specifications

Activation of three user when the transferred power threshold is exceeded

With reference to Figure 1, the photovoltaic panels produce a certain energy called Produced Energy. This energy is partly consumed by domestic appliances (Consumed Energy) and partly sold to the public electricity grid (Transferred energy).


Fig 1 – Active Energy Saving Management.

In this scenario, the instantaneous power transferred to the public electricity grid is constantly measured and when this value remains above a certain threshold for more than a specific time it automatically activates three additional domestic users.

Connections

W1 is a WiDom Energy Driven Switch C version.

W2, W3 and W4 are WiDom Energy Driven Switch S version. An possible alternative, compatibly with the load to be controlled, is to replace the WiDom Energy Driven Switch version S with the WiDom Universal Relay Switch.

W1 is used to measure the power supplied and to control the W2, W3, W4 devices via the Z-Wave network and is connected in remote load control mode.
W2, W3, W4 are used to control the three domestic users (L1, L2, L3) and are connected in local load control mode. They are controlled via Z-Wave network from W1 through the associations and can be controlled locally by their external switch (P1, P2, P3).

The W1 device uses a current transformer for the current measurements. A reference (an arrow or a point) is printed on the transformer indicating the positive direction of the measured current: if the direction of the current is the same as the reference, the measurement will be positive; if the direction of the current is opposite, the measurement will be negative.


Figure 2 – Connection diagram of the current transformer..

Figure 2 shows the current transformer connected to the power supply phase so that its reference is directed towards the system to be measured (User or Generator).
When the measurement is positive it means that the current is entering the system to be measured, and therefore it is working as a User and is consuming energy. When the measurement is negative, it means that the current is coming out of the system to be measured and therefore it is working as a Generator and is producing energy.

Therefore, to correctly measure the Energy transferred to the public electricity grid, it is necessary to connect the transformer of the W1 device to the phase of the exchange meter with the reference directed towards the electrical system.

When the value of instantaneous power measured by the W1 device exceeds the power threshold set for a given period of time, this device controls the switching on of the three utilities to the W2, W3 and W4 devices.

Device W1

Associations

W2, W3, W4 – associated with Group 2 (devices controlled by the Up Power event)

Parameter configuration

Parameter 34 (0x22) (1 byte) = 2: The events will be active for the produced energy flows (negative sign).

Parameter 35 (0x23) (2 byte) = 2000: Sets the instantaneous power level at 2000 W and if this limit is exceeded, the time of limit exceeding will be counted;

Parameter 36 (0x24) (2 bytes) = 600: Set the time 10 minutes (600 seconds), if the power remains above the threshold defined by Parameter 35, the Up Power event occurs;

Parameter 38 (0x26) (1 byte) = 255: Sets the status of the devices associated with Group 2 to ON when the Up Power event occurs;

Devices W2, W3, W4

To implement the described scenario, no additional configurations are required for the W2, W3 and W4 devices that use the factory configuration

Switch OFF timing

Stop watering the garden when you want without having to worry about in a certain moment, turn Off the light in the children’s room at a specific time. With the timer for the automatic switch-Off of the devices, all this is not science fiction but a new way of living your home, safely and with maximum comfort.

With switch-Off timing, it is possible to switch Off independently any appliance in operation or the light in the rooms. Very simple. Just activate the timer for a programmed switch-Off.

Parameter configuration

Parameter 40 (0x28) (1 byte) = 1: Enables the programmed switch-Off associated with the 1-click event on the local command;

PParameter 44 (0x2C) (1 byte) = 1: Enables the programmed switch-Off associated with the receiving of a switch-On command from the Z-Wave network;

Parameter 45 (0x2D) (2 bytes) = 300: Sets the time after which the programmed switch-Off intervenes at 5 minutes (300 seconds).

Note: The programmed switch-Off timer is activated on the specific event when the device status changes from OFF to ON.

Parameter 62 (0x3E) (1 byte) = must be set to 1 if the external switch is a button, 2 if the external switch is a switch.

Note: Parameter 62 will already be set to the correct value if the inclusion of the device was previously performed with a click on the external switch; if instead, the inclusion took place with the network wide inclusion, or by pressing the button (B) on the body of the device, it will be necessary to explicitly set the parameter to the appropriate value, since, in such cases, the self-recognition of the type of external switch at the time of inclusion could not take place.

Commute associated devices

It may not come to mind, but even the impossible with home automation becomes reality. How comfortable would it be to turn Off the hall light from the bedroom? With the Commute associated devices scenario you can do this and much more, such as controlling the bathroom lights from the living room and so on.

The ways of comfort are infinite. In this example, you will understand how to associate an existing switch with a second light. We will discover together how to control a socket to which is connected a floor lamp, from the same switch that previously controlled only the main light of the room.

Referring to Figure 2:
W1 and W2 are WiDom Universal Relay Switches

W1 is used to control the light of the room (L1) and to activate the scenario through the room switch (P1).
W2 is used to control the floor [1] (L2) via the Z-Wave network from W1 through associations.
The single click on the room switch turns the room light On or Off, leaving the status of the light on the floor unchanged. Double-clicking on the room switch, via the Z-Wave network, commands the W2 device to switch On or Off the floor light, leaving the status of the room light unchanged.

Device W1

Associations

W2 – associated with Group 3 (devices controlled by the 2-click event)

Parameter configuration

Parameter 2 (1byte) = 4: Set the status of the device to IGNORE when a 2-click event of the local command occurs;

Parameter 6 (1 byte) = 4: Set on COMMUTE ASSOCIATED the action on devices belonging to Group 3 (2-click association group). In this way, if the associated device is OFF it becomes ON, if it is ON it becomes OFF, whatever the status of the device controlled by the local command;

Note: The COMMUTE ASSOCIATED function controls the status of each associated device by sending a request with the Basic Get command. If the status of the associated device is OFF, the Basic Set ON command will be sent, otherwise the Basic Set OFF command.

Parameter 62 (0x3E) (1byte) = 2: Set the type of external switch connected to the device to SWITCH.

Note: This parameter will already be set to SWITCH if the inclusion of the device was performed with a click on the external switch.

Device W2

Association: None

Parameter configuration

Parameter 62 (0x3E) (1byte) = 0: Set IGNORE to the type of external switch connected to the device.

Note: This configuration guarantees that in no case the device can be controlled by an external switch, but only via Z-Wave network.
