Z-Wave home automation devices can be enabled and controlled from an 8863. You can turn
Z-Wave lights and appliances on and off, lock or unlock doors, open or close garage doors, control your thermostat, and create and activate new favorites directly from the keypad.
Enable the Z-Wave Menu
Before the Z-Wave devices can be operated through the keypad, the Z-Wave Lights, Doors, Thermostats, Appliances, and Favorites need to be enabled in Carousel Z-Wave Items.
To enable these pages, navigate to Options > Installer Options > Carousel Z-Wave Items and select the carousel menu items you want accessible from the home screen. You can then access each page from the Carousel menu and configure your devices as needed.

Z-Wave Favorites
A Z-Wave Favorite is an automation preset for a collection of selected devices. For example, you can create a Favorite that, when activated, can turn on or off all lights in the room at the same time.
Configure a Favorite
You can create and configure these in your keypad by navigating to Favorites in the Carousel menu, then selecting the Settings icon and entering your User Code. This brings you to the Z-Wave Setup Menu. You can add, edit, or delete Favorites from this menu.
The keypad supports up to 20 Favorites, with up to 25 Z-Wave devices per Favorite.
You can also add Favorite shortcuts on the video doorbell screens. See Video Devices: Video Doorbell Features to learn more.
Activate a Favorite
After a Favorite has been created, you can activate it from the list. Select Activate next to the Favorite that you want to activate. The name of the Favorite changes to Activating… while the request is being processed, and then to Activated after the process is complete.
