This article will guide you in adding and removing your DS100.


The Door/Window Sensor can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network.

Inclusion (Use this procedure to add the HS-DS100+ to your Z-Wave network).

  1. Ensure AAA batteries are installed. Remove any plastic from battery compartment (if necessary)
  2. Put your home automation controller into ‘inclusion’ mode. Consult your system’s manual for details.
  3. HS-DS100+ may be included “securely” (option a) or “non-securely” (option b). If your automation controller does not support secure devices, or if you wish to improve battery life, add the sensor “non-securely”. Otherwise, include the sensor “securely”
    1. Secure inclusion: Press and hold the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body for 3 seconds. Wait for the process to finish.
    2. Non-Secure inclusion: Triple-click the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body. Wait for the process to finish.


  4. If successful, the sensor body LED will blink briefly and then stay on for 3 seconds. If unsuccessful, the LED with blink briefly and then turn off. Should this happen, repeat the inclusion process.

Note: If you want this Door/Window sensor to function as a security device using secure/encrypted Z-Wave communications, then a security enabled Z-Wave controller is required.

Exclusion (Use this procedure to remove the HS-DS100+ from your Z-Wave network).

  1. Put your home automation controller into ‘exclusion’ mode. Consult your system’s manual for details.
  2. Triple-click the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body. If successful, the LED will turn off within 1 second. If unsuccessful, the LED with blink for 5 seconds. Should this happen, repeat the exclusion process.

Reset (Use this procedure to reset the HS-DS100+ to factory default settings when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable).

  1. Press and hold the Z-Wave button inside the sensor body for 20 seconds. If successful, the LED will change from solid, to blinking, to solid again. 

Z-Wave Association Information

HS-DS100+ supports Group 1 and Group 2 associations. Group 1 reports the sensor’s condition, battery level and tamper state.  Group 2 sends the BASIC SET command.
