Shelly Wave 1 - Device Documentation
Note: The product line known as "Shelly Qubino Wave" will now be referred to as "Shelly Wave". This name change will not impact the functionality of any devices. The only modification will be the use of the new name in all future documentation.

Device Identification
- Device name: Wave 1
- AUS Part number / Ordering Code: QNSW-001X16AU
- Z-Wave Product type ID: 0x0002
- Z-Wave Product ID: 0x0083
- Z-Wave Manufacturer: Shelly Europe Ltd.

Terminology
- Device: In this document, the term “Device” refers to the Shelly Qubino device that is the subject of this guide.
- Gateway: A Z-Wave® gateway (also referred to as a Z-Wave® controller, Z-Wave® main controller, Z-Wave® primary controller, or Z-Wave® hub) acts as a central hub for a Z-Wave® smart home network. The term “gateway” is used throughout this document.
- S button: The Z-Wave® Service button, located on Z-Wave® devices, is used for functions such as adding (inclusion), removing (exclusion), and resetting the device to factory defaults. The term “S button” is used in this document.
Short Description
The Device controls the on/off function for one electrical device (e.g., bulb, ceiling fan, IR heater, electric locks, garage doors, irrigation systems, etc.). The output contact is potential-free (dry contact), allowing different power supply loads (up to 16 A) to be connected. It is compatible with push-buttons and switches by default.
Switch Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
If the SW (SW1) is configured as a switch (default):
- Each toggle of the switch changes the output state O (O1) to the opposite state — ON, OFF, ON, etc.
Actions:
- Change switch position once: Toggle the output state O (O1) to the opposite and send command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3 (see Z-Wave Associations).
- Change switch position twice: If the delay between the first and second click is less than 500ms, it's interpreted as a double press. Send command to associated dimmers, shutters, etc., in groups 2 and 3.
Main Applications
- Residential
- MDU (Multi Dwelling Units – apartments, condominiums, hotels, etc.)
- Light commercial (small office buildings, retail, restaurants, gas stations, etc.)
- Government / Municipal
- University / College
Integrations
Shelly Qubino Wave devices are built on the world’s leading smart home technology – Z-Wave.
This means they work with all certified gateways supporting the Z-Wave communication protocol.
To ensure full functionality, we regularly test compatibility with various Z-Wave gateways.

Z-Wave® Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports Security 2 (S2) using Strong AES-128 encryption — making Z-Wave® the most secure IoT platform available.
- Supports: S2 Authenticated, S2 Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion
- Requires S2-enabled gateway
Note: During S2 inclusion, you must provide the 5-digit PIN from the DSK label (on device and packaging). Keep the label intact.

- First five digits are highlighted/underlined (PIN code)
- DSK also represented via QR code
Out-of-Band (OOB) Authentication
- Including gateway reads entire DSK via QR scan
- Matches obfuscated public key received over RF
- Joining node sets bytes 1–2 to
0x00before sending key
