Raz as a Secondary Controller - setup?
Posted: 02 Feb 2017 18:55
Hello,
We are testing the Raz board for integration into our myServer automation system.
Trying to extend the Raz range by adding a secondary controller to test how our software will manage secondary controllers. I have not found any definitive documentation on how to do this.
Here is what we understand from going through forum posts:
"You can include on as a secondary controller into another one. Use standard Include node on the primary and StartLearnMode on the secondary (first reset it to factory)"
Raz v2 with latest firmware has six devices included and interviews complete and I click "Secure Mode". This is currently and wanted to be the Primary Controller.
Raz v1 with it's latest firmware has zero devices and we clicked the "Controller Factory Default" to reset the chip. this is wanted to be the Secondary Controller.
Click on Raz V1 "Secure Mode" and then "Start Controller Change" from the Expert menu / Control tab. We see the UI say "Ready to Include new Primary. Press a button on the device to be included". The text says "This starts an inclusion process for a new controller. This new controller will become the new primary controller of your network." Which controller is "this"? V1 or V2? I assume the V2.
Click on Raz V2 "Start Inclusion" (the "button"?) on the Expert menu / Control tab. Neither device indicates they are "talking" to each other. The V1 times out within about 30 seconds and reverts back to normal Primary mode.
Enter / Leave different Networks: Raz v1 says "Include into Network" but that is Grey and unclickable.
Raz v2 says "Leave network MY NETWORK" in same field. Also grey and unclickable.
V1 and V2 are within 10 feet of each other.
Once we get this to work, I would be happy to write up some documentation for the community.
