Control your UltraPro Smart Switch using voice commands with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant, requiring a compatible Z-Wave hub.

6.4 Remote Control and Custom Scenes

Through your Z-Wave hub's application, you can control your lights from anywhere and create custom scenes.

• Control from Anywhere: Use your smartphone, tablet, or PC to turn lights on or off, or adjust schedules, even when you're away from home.
• Custom Scenes: Program groups of hardwired fixtures for specific events, times, or moods. For example, a "Movie Night" scene could dim the lights, or a "Good Morning" scene could gradually brighten them.

Control your lighting from any smart device, including smartphones, tablets, or PCs, from any location.

Create custom scenes to program groups of hardwired fixtures for entertaining, events, or specific times.
