The Honeywell L5100 ZWAVE card enables your home security system to communicate with Z-Wave enabled lights, locks and sensors. The Z-wave is a sub-gigahertz frequency that uses RF to communicate between devices.

With the Z-Wave enabled you can control your lights, locks and sensors right from the control panel. This will allow you to define scenes, which will run automatic programs. For example you can set a scene to turn on lights, disarm the system and unlock the doors every morning at 8 am.

Our video will show you how to create these scenes using the Honeywell L5210 control panel with Z-Wave card installed and Z-Wave devices enrolled. We will discuss what a scene is and what a rule is, as well as how to set them up.

The first thing to do is create a scene. A scene is when you select Z-Wave device or devices and change the state. Turning lights on or off, for example. A rule, on the other hand, is a trigger that will automatically running a scene. Turning on lights (scene) when you disarm the panel (rule).

To create a scene, follow along with our video guide. Press the home button first followed by the automations menu button. Then press the down arrow to find “Add New Scene.” You will be prompted to name the new scene, as our video shows.

Once you have named your scene, press the done button and you will be taken to the add new device screen. The list of device types will be shown. Select the device type you want to add to the screen and you will be shown a list of available devices.

Note: You must have Z-Wave card and Z-Wave devices installed and enrolled into the system before you can use them to create a scene.

As the video will explain, the device status will be shown. You will select what will change in the status of the device here. For example, our video covers turning a light off as the scene. Once we press the light device type and the Z-wave enabled light, we press the desired illumination from the slide bar.

Pressing the save button will save the scene to the system and you will then be ready to create a rule that will trigger this scene. You can add as many devices as you need following the same procedure. Follow along with the video for each one.

As the video discusses, you can have more elaborate scenes than a simple light on or off. You can control any Z-Wave enabled device in a single scene to create any triggered response you need.

You can view our other videos to learn how to install the Z-Wave card, enroll a Z-Wave enabled device into the system, or how to create a rule to run these scenes.
