This device is not a standalone switch and must be paired with a compatible Enbrighten smart switch or dimmer (Z-Wave, Zigbee, or Wi-Fi) to enable multi-location control of your lighting fixtures. Featuring QuickFit and SimpleWire technologies, it offers easier installation and reliable performance for managing your home's lighting from up to five locations.

- Multi-Switch Operation: Enables control from up to 5 locations when paired with a primary smart switch or dimmer.
- Versatile Compatibility: Works with Enbrighten and UltraPro smart switches, dimmers, and fan controls (Z-Wave, Zigbee, Wi-Fi).
- Universal Voltage: Rated for 120/277VAC, suitable for both common home installations and light-commercial applications.
- S2 Security: Advanced 128-bit encryption for enhanced network security.
- SmartStart: Easy, automatic pairing with compatible hubs by scanning a QR code.
- Programmable Brightness Threshold: For dimmers, set minimum and maximum brightness to prevent flicker with LED bulbs.

Setup and Installation
- Verify Neutral Wire: This add-on switch requires a neutral wire for proper operation. Ensure your electrical box has a neutral wire available before installation.
- Power Off: Before beginning any electrical work, turn off power to the switch location at the circuit breaker.
- Wiring: Connect the add-on switch according to the wiring diagram provided with your primary smart switch. The SimpleWire technology automatically detects line and load wires, simplifying the process. The QuickFit design allows for easier fitting into crowded electrical boxes.
- Mounting: Secure the add-on switch into the electrical box and attach the wall plate.
- Power On: Restore power at the circuit breaker.
- Pairing (SmartStart): If your hub supports SmartStart, scan the QR code on the switch or its packaging to automatically pair it with your smart home system. Otherwise, follow your smart hub's instructions for adding a Z-Wave or Zigbee device. This add-on switch must be paired with a compatible Enbrighten or UltraPro smart switch, dimmer, or fan control.

Operating Instructions
The Enbrighten Add-On Switch functions in conjunction with a primary smart switch (Z-Wave, Zigbee, or Wi-Fi) to provide multi-location control. Its operation mirrors that of the primary switch.
- Turning ON/OFF: Press the top or bottom of the rocker paddle to toggle the connected lights or device ON or OFF.
- Dimming/Brightening (if paired with a dimmer): Press and hold the top of the rocker paddle to brighten the lights. Press and hold the bottom of the rocker paddle to dim the lights. Release when desired brightness is reached.
- Central Scene Control: Depending on your primary smart switch and hub capabilities, the add-on switch may support Central Scene commands. This allows for customizable single, double, or triple tap actions to control individual devices or activate pre-set scenes in your smart home system. Refer to your smart hub's documentation for configuring Central Scene functionality.

Maintenance
The Enbrighten Add-On Switch requires minimal maintenance. Ensure the device is kept clean and free from dust. For cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols directly on the switch. Periodically check the wall plate and screws for tightness.
For any electrical work or if you suspect a malfunction, always disconnect power at the circuit breaker and consult a qualified electrician.
Troubleshooting
- Switch Not Responding: Ensure the primary smart switch it is paired with is functioning correctly and has power. Verify all wiring connections are secure.
- Lights Not Dimming/Brightening: Confirm the add-on switch is paired with a dimmer-capable primary smart switch. Check the programmable brightness threshold settings on your primary smart switch if applicable.
- Cannot Pair with Hub: Ensure your smart hub is in pairing mode. If using SmartStart, verify the QR code is correctly scanned. For manual pairing, follow your hub's specific instructions. Confirm the primary smart switch is within range of the hub.
- No Power to Switch: Double-check that power is restored at the circuit breaker. Confirm the neutral wire is correctly connected, as this switch requires it.
