How does a controller know what Z-Wave devices are available in a room, in a space, and in the whole house?
To set up a Z-Wave network, you typically walk around your home and add each device to the network by pressing add/include on the Z-Wave remote and pressing a button on (or turning on) each device. The remote then remembers all the devices available to it in the home. When you add another remote to the network, the master remote simply passes this list along.
