Basically the opener takes commands from rolling code devices (non-zwave) and converts the signals into triggers for up to 4 Z-Wave scenes. garage door opener keyfob, built-in vehicle remotes (homelink, car2u), keyless entry pads and Z-Wave. The idrive opener will work as a 'bridge' between rolling code remotes i.e.

My assumption is that the actual z-wave enabled component is the actual opener, and that the rest of the components are not z-wave enabled, but will tie to the network through the opener.Īnyone have any experience with the iDrive? Any thoughts? Suggestions? I'll try to send Wayne-Dalton and email, but I'm thinking they'll have limited experience with HS and z-troller. I've tried to add all the components (iDrive opener, wall controller, keychain remotes) to the network using the z-troller, but it doesn't seem to recognize the units. I'm running HS2 with Z-Troller as my master controller. But I can't seem to figure out how to add the unit into my network. Wayne-Dalton lays out the connection between the iDrive and z-wave as shown in the attached JPG (they do have a similar sheet for the connection using the gateway controller setup). The manual doesn't include any z-wave documentation, the website doesn't explain the connection either and I can't seem to find any information in any of the online forums. It was the installer's first iDrive installation, so I thought that I could just read through the manual and figure out how to include the iDrive system into my current z-wave network. I just had to have a new garage door opener installed and since I've been curious about the iDrive product for a while ( and ), I had the installer put one in for me.
