Install Z-Wave Devices

Z-Wave devices are available as plug-in modules and wall switches.  For plug-in modules, you simply plug the module into a wall outlet* and then plug a lamp or appliance into the outlet on the module (whether you plug in a lamp or appliance depends on the type of module you're using).  Wall switches are a bit more complicated because you need to remove the existing switch and replace it with a Z-Wave switch.  A licensed electrician should be consulted if you’re not knowledgeable about or experienced with replacing electrical switches.

The Remote Control Unit gives you control of Z-Wave devices from a simple hand-held interface.  The Remote Control Unit is sometimes also what is used to assign node numbers to each device in the network (see Sync or Import Z-Wave Devices from the Primary Remote Control Unit). If you are using the HomeSeer Z-Troller PC interface or Z-Stick USB interface, you do not need a remote control. The Z-Troller and Z-Stick are a portable interface and they have the ability to add devices directly.
