2 PowerNode OverviewThe GreenWave Reality PowerNode is a smart outlet adapter that connects your your GreenWave Reality energy manusage remotely through a Web browser or multi-port configuration. The PowerNode automatically connects to your Greenhome network). This connection enables the Gateway to securely connect the devices you have powered through your PowerNode to your energy management system. The PowerNode collects data on the energy consumption of the connected devices and transmits the data to the Gateway. You can then control the energy consumption of each connected device automatically using GreenWave Reality Smart Controls. These user-defined Smart Controls allow you to turn devices on or off remotely through a Web browser or application or to set a schedule for automatically turning your devices on or off at pre-defined times.

5 Room Colors Your PowerNode has a corner wheel with colored numbers to represent the room or device that the PowerNode is powering. Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). For example, you can set the room color to blue. Then, when you access your account through the Web or smartphone application, the corresponding room is identified by the same blue color as your PowerNode. You can set PowerNodes in different rooms to different colors to make those rooms easy to identify when managing the power sources on the Web or smartphone application. Special Wheel Colors The PowerNode includes unnumbered white and black wheel colors that each serve a special purpose. The white wheel color (which also contains a lock icon) is the locked position. Setting a PowerNode to white enables monitoring but disables power management. You can monitor energy use information for devices plugged into a PowerNode using the white wheel color, but you cannot power those devices on or off remotely (for example, through Smart Controls). White is suggested for appliances such as refrigerators or medical equipment. The black wheel color allows you to manage the connected devices without assigning them to a specific colored number. All devices that you have plugged into a PowerNode using the black wheel color will be included under
6 one generic grouping when you access your account through the Web or smartphone application. You can still monitor the devices’ energy use information and use them with Smart Controls as if they were categorized under a standard wheel color. The only difference is the manner in which they are grouped under your account.
7 Indicators Your PowerNode has an indicator that displays any of the following patterns and colors to show you its current status: Off (no color): All PowerNode ports are powered off. Steady white in center: All PowerNode ports are powered on. Steady green in center: Some ports on a multi-port PowerNode are powered on (some are off). Two flashing green bars on each side of white flashing center: PowerNode cannot communicate with Gateway. This may occur if the 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). Two green bars rotating clockwise: PowerNode is in inclusion mode to connect with Gateway. When inclusion is successful, the rotating bars stop and all bars turn green for several seconds (flashing bars mean inclusion was unsuccessful). Two green bars rotating counter-clockwise: PowerNode is in exclusion mode to disconnect from Gateway. When exclusion is successful, the rotating bars stop and all bars turn green for several seconds (flashing bars mean exclusion was unsuccessful). All flashing green bars (forming a circle): Inclusion or exclusion process was unsuccessful. All steady green bars (forming a circle): Inclusion or exclusion process was successful. The bars remain green for several seconds.

10 1. Set the PowerNode Room Color Set the PowerNode to the colored number you want to use to identify the room or device (this is referred to as the “room color”). The room color selection is strictly to help you identify the room when you monitor and control its power usage. Any color setting you use will work automatically with your Gateway. Refer to the section above on room colors. 2. Choose the Device and Location Choose the device you would like to connect to your PowerNode. Turn the device off and unplug it from any power source. As discussed in the “Installation Tips” section, you should attach only one device to each PowerNode port (one device for a single-port PowerNode or up to six devices for a multi-port PowerNode). Locate a suitable electrical outlet nearby where you would like to place the device. 3. Sync the PowerNode with Gateway (if Not Part of Package) Note: If your PowerNode came as part of a package with a GreenWave Reality Gateway, then you can skip this section since the PowerNode and Gateway were already connected at the factory. This section applies only for adding a new PowerNode or a PowerNode that you previously excluded.
11 If the PowerNode is not part of a package with a GreenWave Reality Gateway, then you must sync it with your Gateway (a process called “inclusion”) so that the PowerNode and Gateway can communicate with each other. Verify that your Gateway is plugged in and working, and then perform the following steps: 1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. 2. On the Gateway, press and release the sync button once. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern. When this rotating “inclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity indicator, the Gateway is ready to be synced with the PowerNode. 3. Locate the sync button on the PowerNode. It is a small round button on the side of the device, marked with the sync symbol. 4. Press and hold the sync button for approximately one second until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern, indicating that the PowerNode is attempting inclusion. During this process, verify that the Gateway activity indicator still displays a clockwise rotating pattern from the first step you performed above. If not, then the Gateway is not in inclusion mode and you must return to step 2. 5. After a few seconds, the rotating pattern on both the PowerNode and the Gateway should stop and all bars turn green (forming a circle) for several seconds to indicate successful inclusion. If all bars on the activity indicator flash instead of forming a solid circle, then the PowerNode inclusion process has failed, and you must start over.
12 4. Prepare the PowerNode for the Device Make sure the PowerNode is plugged into the electrical outlet. Turn the PowerNode off by pressing the power button, which will illuminate white to indicate the power is off. 5. Plug in the Device and Turn on the PowerNode Plug the device you want to power into the PowerNode port. Turn the PowerNode on by pressing the power button, which will illuminate green to indicate the power is on. Turn the device on. The device is now part of your GreenWave home network. Installation Tips Review the safety information. Be sure to review the information contained in the “Safety Information” chapter for important safety information you should follow. Connect only one device per PowerNode port. For best results, attach only one device to each PowerNode port (one device for a single-port PowerNode or up to six devices for a multi-port PowerNode). Do not connect power strips and extension cords (or other PowerNodes) to the PowerNode. The PowerNode can only reliably monitor and control one device connected to one port at the time. Connecting more devices to one port interferes with power consumption monitoring and may cause risk of malfunction and damage to your PowerNode from
13 overloading. If you would like to control more devices, you can easily add more PowerNodes to your energy management system. Keep radio signals clear. Your Gateway and PowerNodes have antennas built-in for radio communication with Internet services and other devices on your energy management system. Just as you might experience reception problems on your mobile phone inside a building, your Gateway can have trouble communicating with PowerNodes if their radio signals are blocked by obstacles such as large metal panels or walls containing wire mesh. When placing these devices in your home, imagine invisible lines connecting between them. Try to keep these lines clear from obstruction as much as possible. Also place your PowerNodes at least 1 foot (.3 meters) above floor level to promote reception.
14 Common ZThe GreenWave Reality PowerNodes communicate wirelessly with the Gateway by use of Znetworking, which is a robust connection technology designed for home automation with security and privacy in mind.

15 To complete the inclusion process perform the following steps: 1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. 2. On the Gateway, press and release the sync button once. The activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern. When this rotating “inclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity indicator, the Gateway is ready to be synced with the PowerNode. If you attempt to include a PowerNode from another energy management system with an “alien” Gateway, the inclusion will fail and the indicator bars will flash rapidly. 3. Locate the sync button on the PowerNode. It is a small round button on the side of the device, marked with the sync symbol. 4. Press and hold the sync button for approximately one second until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a clockwise rotating pattern, indicating that the PowerNode is attempting inclusion. During this process, verify that the Gateway activity indicator still displays a clockwise rotating pattern. If not, then the Gateway is not in inclusion mode and you must return to step 2. 5. After a few seconds, the rotating pattern on both the PowerNode and the Gateway should stop and all bars turn green (forming a circle) for several seconds to indicate successful inclusion. The PowerNode is now part of your energy management system, and you can connect a device (refer to the instructions that came with your PowerNode to plug in your device).
16 If all bars on the activity indicator flash instead of forming a solid circle, then the PowerNode inclusion process has failed, and you must start over. Network Exclusion Process Note: If your PowerNode is new and has never been used before, then you should not need to perform the exclusion process. A PowerNode that has been previously used with a different Z-Wave network must have its association (homeID) with the other network removed before you can connect it to your GreenWave Reality energy management system. This process is called “exclusion” and requires you to perform steps with both the Gateway and the PowerNode. To complete the exclusion process perform the following steps: 1. Plug the PowerNode into an electrical outlet. 2. On the Gateway, press and hold the sync button until the activity indicator begins to display a counter-clockwise rotating pattern. When this rotating “exclusion mode” pattern appears on the Gateway activity indicator, the Gateway is ready to perform the exclusion of the PowerNode. 3. Locate the sync button on the PowerNode. It is a small round button on the side of the device, marked with the sync symbol.
17 4. Press and hold the sync button for approximately one second until the PowerNode activity indicator begins to display a counter-clockwise rotating pattern, indicating that the PowerNode is attempting exclusion. During this process, verify that the Gateway activity indicator still displays a counter-clockwise rotating pattern. If not, then the Gateway is not in exclusion mode and you must return to step 2. 5. Notice that all bars on both the PowerNode and the Gateway turn green (forming a circle) for several seconds, indicating that the exclusion process had completed. Your PowerNode is now free of its former association. If all bars on the activity indicator flash instead of forming a solid circle, then the PowerNode exclusion process has failed, and you must start over.
