6. Successful linking is indicated when the Smart Switch's RGB LED stops blinking. If it continues blinking, repeat from step 4.
7. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to exit inclusion mode and reconnect it to your gateway or computer.

Using a Minimote:

1. Place the Smart Switch where desired and plug it into a wall socket. The RGB LED will blink when the Action Button is pressed.
2. Bring your Minimote close to your Smart Switch.
3. Press the 'Include' button on your Minimote.
4. Press the Action Button on your Smart Switch.
5. Successful linking is indicated when the Smart Switch's RGB LED stops blinking. If it continues blinking, repeat from step 4.
6. Press any button on your Minimote to exit inclusion mode.

Once connected, configure the Smart Switch through your home control software. Refer to your software's user guide for specific instructions.

RGB LED Indication (Energy Mode)

The RGB LED color changes based on the output load power level when in Energy mode:

The brightness of the RGB LED can also be configured for Energy mode, Momentary Indicate mode, or Night Light mode.

Removing Your Smart Switch from a Z-Wave Network

To remove the Smart Switch from your Z-Wave network, use your main Z-Wave controller. Instructions for Aeotec Z-Stick and Minimote are provided below. For other controllers, consult their manuals.

2. Bring your Z-Stick close to your Smart Switch.
3. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick.
4. Press the Action Button on your Smart Switch.
5. Successful removal is confirmed when the Smart Switch's RGB LED blinks upon pressing the Action Button. If it does not blink, the removal was unsuccessful.
6. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to exit removal mode.

Using a Minimote:

1. Bring your Minimote close to your Smart Switch.
2. Press the 'Remove' button on your Minimote.
3. Press the Action Button on your Smart Switch.
4. Successful removal is confirmed when the Smart Switch's RGB LED blinks upon pressing the Action Button. If it does not blink, the removal was unsuccessful.
5. Press any button on your Minimote to exit removal mode.

Advanced Functions

Changing LED Mode

The LED behavior can be changed through configuration. There are three modes:

• Energy Mode: LED mirrors the switch state (on/off).
• Momentary Indicate Mode: LED turns on for 5 seconds after each state change, then turns off.
• Night Light Mode: LED can be turned on and off during user-selected times.

Parameter 81 [1 byte dec] can be set to:

• (0) Energy Mode
• (1) Momentary Indicate Mode
• (2) Night Light Mode

Security or Non-Security Feature

To include the Smart Switch as a non-security device, press the Action Button once during network inclusion with your controller/gateway.

To utilize the Smart Switch's full functionality as a security device with encrypted communication, a security-enabled controller/gateway is required. Press the Smart Switch's Action Button twice within 1 second when your security controller/gateway initiates network inclusion.

Reset Your Smart Switch

If your primary controller is lost or inoperable, you can reset the Smart Switch to factory defaults. Press and hold the Action Button for 20 seconds, then release. The RGB LED will be solid for 2 seconds, then start slow blinking to confirm the reset.
