Change configuration: In order for the Observer mechanism works, the IP address, port and protocol of both systems are required.

- **Z-Way Server**
    - **IP address** (default: localhost)
    - **port** (default: 8083)
    - **protocol** (default: http)
    - **username** (default: admin)
    - **password** must be set (no default value)
- **options**

## Create and configure Z-Way Devices

Open the *Inbox* and start manually the *Discovery* for the Z-Way Binding. The *Discovery* must be started manually at this point, because the *Discovery* is running only every 4 minutes. The start time of the interval is the creation of Z-Way Server, even if the configuration is not yet complete. After the Z-Way Server is fully configured, the interval must be awaited or started manually.
