Favorites

On this Page:

In Favorites, you can manage and activate Favorites, enabling you to control multiple Z-Wave devices with a single button. Compatible Z-Wave devices include lights, deadbolts, thermostats, and garage doors.

To use favorites:

Create a favorite. A favorite is a group of Z-Wave devices configured to respond a specific way when the favorite is activated.
Activate the favorite. You can activate favorites as needed, or you can add them to a schedule to activate them automatically.

The following is an example of a favorite named “Morning” that turns the hall light on and sets the thermostat to 70° when activated:
