Although the zwave module has a palette, it contains only the ZWaveNetwork (and its frozen “Scenes” network extension). See Figure 1.

All of the other various Z-Wave components (ZWave devices, components under devices, and proxy points) do not appear on the palette. Instead, the driver dynamically adds such components under the station’s ZWaveNetwork, when installing the JACE on the Z-Wave network.

This occurs automatically, based upon “replications” from the Z-Wave portable primary controller, along with station command class queries to Z-Wave devices on the network. This simplifies component creation, and enforces proper component hierarchy.

As with most other NiagaraAX drivers, you rarely need to work from the palette. In this case, usefulness is limited to when first starting a Z-Wave integration—as an alternative to using the Driver Manager to add the new ZWave Network. (By copying from the palette, its default baud rate of 115,200 is pre-set to match that used by the JACE Z-Wave option card).
