Easiest Z-Wave PC Network Setup On Planet Earth!
The Reviews are In!
"Best money I ever spent on any Z-wave device. It is rock solid, quick, upgradable and just damn wonderful. All devices that are being turned on and turned off by Homeseer using events have doubled if not tripled in speed with this controller!"
"This is what we've been missing all along to get great Z-Wave performance and easier setup... everything is working flawlessly!"
"In the past I have spent several hours rebuilding my Z-Wave network. The Z-Troller simplifies the whole process. So, three thumbs up from me."
"I just received my Z-Troller and I must echo all the great reviews. After setting up my new network, poll times have improved 5-10x faster (23 modules) and I have not had a "no response" yet. I have a zwave tstat that used to constantly fail to communicate and several dimmer modules would give an occaisional "no response" in the log. With the Z-Troller, everything communicates and the speed is fast!! Nice work HST!"
"Just received my Z-Troller today.
I own and have used the HomePro USB, serial and Intermatic HA22 Z-Wave controllers. The Z-troller is the byfar the easiest controller I have used to date, to setup and use. Talk about performance This thing is outstanding!! Great work HST"
"The Z-Troller is way cool. It is unreal how much better the reaction time has improved and no more missing units on poll."
Welcome to the HomeSeer Z-Troller, the world's first and only portable, self-contained combination Z-Wave primary controller and PC Interface. This new device is designed to cut your HomeSeer Z-Wave network installation time and effort in half. Here's how it works:
1 Install Z-Wave devices (light switch, lamp module, etc) into your home.
2 Position the Z-Troller near any device and press and hold the "Add" button. Now, press any button on your Z-Wave device. The node number will display and the device will be added to your network.
3 Repeat steps 1-4 for all your other Z-Wave devices.
4 Connect the Z-Troller to your PCs serial port and plug the power cable in.
5 Open HomeSeer HS2 or HSPRO and click "Load Devices" in 'setup'
Your Z-Wave devices are ready to be controlled by HomeSeer!
Optimize Your Z-Wave Network Instantly and Automatically!
Not sure your Z-Wave network is working at peak efficiency? Is that new Z-Wave device you just added giving you errors? No problem! Just connect the Z-Troller to your HomeSeer system and run the "Optimize Z-Wave Network" function. A command will transmit automatically to each and every Z-Wave device telling it to rediscover the network. The same command can also be transmitted individually to any Z-Wave device you wish.
Change Your Z-Wave Network with Ease!
Need to delete a Z-Wave device from your network? Just press and hold the "Delete" button on the Z-Troller and press any button on your Z-Wave device. Done. Need to move a Z-Wave device to a new location? Go ahead! The new Global optimization option will find the relocated device and re-add it to your
Z-Wave network!
Quickly Identify Any Z-Wave Device in your Network!
The Z-Troller can display the node ID of any device. Simply hold the controller close to the device, press the "Scan" button, then press any button on the device. The node ID will be displayed! Use this information to edit or rename your devices or use it to create 'associations' with other Z-Wave devices in your HomeSeer system. This feature is also an excellent troubleshooting tool, allowing the user to pinpoint problem devices and eliminate shared node ID conflicts.
Easily Create Z-Wave Secondary Controllers!
A Z-Wave secondary controller is any handheld controller ("remote control") used for manual control of your devices. Creation of secondary controllers with Z-Troller is fast and easy. Just set your secondary controller to receive the signal and use HomeSeer to transmit the data via the Z-Troller. That's it!
Built-in Z-Wave Signal Monitor!
The Z-Troller displays the node ID of any device that HomeSeer is controlling or receiving information from. This capability makes it very easy to monitor Z-Wave activity and ensure devices are working as expected.
