Setup and Installation
- Placement: Plug the Jasco 45852 Smart Dimmer into a standard 120V AC wall outlet. Ensure it is placed within range of your Zigbee gateway or another Zigbee device to ensure proper network connectivity. The compact design allows it to fit behind furniture and leave the second outlet free.
- Connect Device: Plug the dimmable light fixture you wish to control into the polarized smart outlet of the dimmer. The other grounded outlet provides continuous power and is not dimmable.
- Pairing with a Zigbee Gateway:
- Follow the instructions provided by your specific Zigbee gateway (e.g., Amazon Echo Plus, SmartThings, Wink) to add a new device.
- Typically, this involves putting your gateway into "discovery" or "pairing" mode.
- Once your gateway is in pairing mode, press the manual On/Off & Program button on the Jasco Smart Dimmer. The LED indicator on the dimmer will flash to indicate pairing mode and then turn solid when successfully paired.
- Note: When pairing with SmartThings, it may be recognized as a "GE" device.
- Testing: After successful pairing, test the dimmer by using your gateway's app or voice commands (if applicable) to turn the connected light on/off and adjust its brightness.
The Jasco 45852 Smart Dimmer is compatible with Amazon Alexa devices when connected through a certified hub, or directly with Echo Plus and Echo Show (2nd gen). It is not compatible with Philips Hue (Zigbee Light Link – ZLL).
Operating Instructions
Manual Control
The manual On/Off & Program button on the front of the dimmer allows for direct control of the connected light.
- Press the button once to turn the connected light ON or OFF.
- To adjust brightness manually, press and hold the button. Release when the desired brightness level is reached.
Remote Control via Zigbee Gateway
Once paired with your Zigbee gateway, you can control the dimmer wirelessly using your gateway's mobile application, computer interface, or voice commands (if supported by your gateway and voice assistant).
- On/Off Control: Use the app or voice command to toggle the light connected to the smart outlet.
- Dimming: Adjust the brightness level from 0-100% through your smart home app. Dimming lights can help reduce energy costs and extend bulb life.
