HomeSeer HS-WD200+ Z-Wave Wall Dimmer

Overview

The HS-WD200+ is a Z-Wave wall dimmer designed for wireless on/off/dim control of connected dimmable lighting loads. For a complete list of features and applications, visit HomeSeer.com/lighting.

Warnings

RISK OF FIRE | RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK | RISK OF BURNS

• DO NOT use this switch to control anything that may present a hazard when controlled remotely or used in an unattended fashion.
• DO NOT use with medical and life support instruments.

Caution

To reduce the risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do not install to control a receptacle, a motor-operated appliance, a fluorescent lighting fixture, or a transformer-supplied appliance.

Installation

Tools required: Medium standard and Phillips head screwdrivers, wire strippers/cutters.

1. Shut off power to the circuit at the circuit breaker or fuse box. Verify power is OFF before continuing.
2. Remove the existing dimmer's wall plate and mounting screws. Carefully remove the existing dimmer from the electrical box, but leave the wires connected.
3. There may be up to five wires connected to the existing dimmer. Note and label these wires if necessary to ensure correct installation of the HS-WD200+. You will need to match these wires with the corresponding screw terminals on the HS-WD200+.
   • LINE (Hot): Black (connected to power)
   • NEUTRAL: White (this wire is often tied to other neutral wires and may require a jumper to connect with the HS-WD200+)
   • LOAD: Black (connected to load)
   • GROUND: Green or Bare
   • TRAVELER: Red/Other (only used in 3-way circuits)
4. Disconnect the wires from the existing dimmer and attach them to the HS-WD200+ using the screw terminal connectors on the back. Follow this procedure:
   • Strip 16 mm (5/8") insulation from each wire.
   • Loosen each screw terminal by rotating the screw counter-clockwise a few turns until resistance is felt.
   • Insert the stripped wire into one of the two holes on the back of the dimmer near each screw terminal and tighten the screw terminal to secure the connection. Connections should be snug.

   Note: All wires should be 14 AWG or larger, rated at 80°C or higher. Tightening torque should be 12 lbf-in (14 kgf-cm).

5. Carefully install the wired dimmer back into the electrical box and reattach the trim plate.

Wiring Diagram Descriptions

The document illustrates two wiring scenarios:

Single-pole circuit

This diagram shows a single-pole setup. Wires labeled 'Neutral', 'Ground', and 'Load' are connected to the corresponding terminals on the HS-WD/WS200+ device. A 'Line Hot' wire (120VAC, 60Hz) is also connected.

3-way circuit

This diagram shows a 3-way setup. Wires labeled 'Neutral', 'Ground', 'Load', and 'Traveler' are connected to the corresponding terminals on the HS-WD/WS200+ device. A 'Line Hot' wire (120VAC, 60Hz) is also connected.

Compatibility

Your HomeSeer dimmer is Z-Wave certified and compatible with a wide variety of home automation hubs and controllers. All features are fully supported by HomeSeer systems, but some advanced features may not be fully supported by other controllers. Consult your controller manufacturer for compatibility details.

Compatibility with Non-HomeSeer Systems

The special features of this dimmer are supported by various Z-Wave technologies. HomeSeer systems are designed for seamless operation. Other systems may provide satisfactory results depending on their support level for these technologies. If using a non-HomeSeer system:

• Multi-tap Triggers: Uses the Z-Wave CENTRAL SCENE command class. Requires a system that supports this class and uses a general interrogation process for inclusion.
• Instant Status: Supported via Z-Wave MULTILEVEL REPORT and CENTRAL SCENE command class. All Z-Wave certified systems should support MULTILEVEL REPORT.
• RGB LED Control: Supported using Z-Wave parameter commands. Most Z-Wave certified systems allow issuing parameter commands. HomeSeer simplifies this via event actions.

Z-Wave Inclusion

Follow this 2-step procedure to add your HomeSeer dimmer to your Z-Wave network:

1. Put your Z-Wave controller into inclusion mode. Consult your controller manual if unsure. (HomeSeer users: press "Add Device" on your Z-Tool+ mobile app).
2. Tap the paddle of your new HomeSeer dimmer to begin the inclusion process. This takes a few moments. (HomeSeer users: name the dimmer and assign it to a location using Z-Tool+ after inclusion).

Manual Reset & Association

Manual Reset

Use only if the network primary controller is lost or inoperable:

1. Turn dimmer on by tapping the top of the paddle once.
2. Quickly tap the top of the paddle 3 times.
3. Quickly tap the bottom of the paddle 3 times.
4. If the light turns off and then on again, the dimmer is reset. If not, repeat the manual reset procedure.

Association

This product supports association group #1 for lifeline communication. Refer to your controller manual for instructions on setting the lifeline association.

Operation

The HomeSeer dimmer can be operated locally (manually) or remotely using a Z-Wave compatible controller or home automation system.

Local Control

• Press (tap) the top of the paddle to power the load.
• Press (tap) the bottom of the paddle to cut power to the load.
• Press & Hold the top or bottom of the paddle to increase or decrease the dim level. The dimmer's LED indicators will light to represent the relative dim level.

Remote Control

• On/Off/Dim control is available remotely. Consult your controller manual for details.

HomeSeer Users: This dimmer creates 3 devices: a root device (for Z-Wave settings), a central scene device (for event triggers), and a control device (for sending commands).

Advanced Features

Multi-tap Triggering

Tapping the top or bottom of the paddle 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 times in rapid succession can be used as a trigger to launch HomeSeer events. For example, using HomeSeer HS3 software:

• A trigger can be set to the top of the paddle being pressed 3 times (Scene 001). This uses the "device had its value set to" trigger applied to the "Central Scene" device.
• Another example: the bottom of the paddle (Scene 002) being pressed 5 times.

Note: Pressing the top or bottom of the paddle once will also control the attached load.

RGB LED Indicators

LED indicators can be controlled via Z-Wave commands using HS3 event actions. In normal mode, LEDs reflect the on/off/dim status using a palette of 7 colors (red, green, blue, cyan, magenta, yellow, white). The HS-WD200+ operates in normal mode by default.

Example (HS3 Software): Setting the normal mode color of all HS-WD200+ dimmers (and HS-WS200+ switches) to Magenta.

In status mode, individual LEDs can reflect specific statuses. For example, changing the bottom LED (Number 1) of a dimmer to glow red, while other LEDs are off.

Switching Modes: By default, dimmers operate in normal mode. Sending a color status command sets all LEDs to status mode. A dimmer remains in status mode until all LEDs are set to "Off". The following HS3 event action clears status from all dimmers, reverting them to normal mode.

Note: If a dimmer is in status mode, manual dimming will temporarily revert it to normal mode until the operation is complete.
