Micro Smart Energy Switch  G2

(Generation 2)

(In-Wall Z-Wave Appliance Module w/ Energy Monitor)

Introduction:

IMPORTANT:

The Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 is a 

low-cost Z-Wave appliance module specifically used 

to  enable  Z-Wave  command  and  control  (on/

off) for existing in-wall switches. It can also report

immediate  wattage  consumption  or  kWh energy

usage over a period of time.

The wireless module is powered from the mains 

supply and is a three-wire design which requires 

a  neutral  connection.  In  the  event  of  power 

failure,     non-volatile  memory  retains  all 

programmed  information  relating  to  the  units 

operating status.

It  also  is  a  repeater  in  the  Z-Wave  network.  

Acting  as  a  bridge  for  communication,  it  will 

forward  Z-Wave  command  messages  to  their 

destinations if the originating controller is out of 

range from the destination node. 

By  taking  advantage  of  the  Z-Wave  mesh 

network,  commands  can  be  routed  to  their 

destination  via  intermediary  “listening”  Z-Wave 

products.  Products that are Z-Wave certified can 

be  used  and  communicate  with  other  Z-Wave 

certified devices.

A  licensed  electrician  with  knowledge  and 

understanding  of  electrical  systems  and  electrical 

safety  should  complete  the  electrical  installation 

inside the main circuit box (usually located outside of 

your house).

Z-Wave Network Instructions:

The Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 must be paired 

(included)  into  a  Z-Wave  network  before  it  can  receive 

Z-Wave commands to turn on/off and report its energy usage.  

The Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 can only communicate  

to devices  within it’s own Z-Wave network.

Note:

 The LED on the Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 will  

blink if it is currently not paired into a Z-Wave network.

In-Wall  Electrical Installation Instructions:

Step 1

Dismounting In Wall Box.

Step 2

Step 3

IMPORTANT:

 The electricity to the circuit must be shut off 

during installation for safety and to ensure that wires are not 

short circuited during installation thus causing damage to 

the Micro Module.

Preparing and Connecting Wires

The Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 must first be powered  

by a 3-wire system in order to operate.  The wiring diagram  

is as follows:

Step 4

Mounting In Wall Box.

Step 5

Restore Power

2. Remove the wall switch cover plate.
3. Remove the two screws securing the wall switch to the wall 

    box. Disconnect both wires from the wall switch.

1. Position all wires to provide room for the device.  Place  Micro  Smart 

    Energy Switch G2 inside the wall box towards the back of the box.

2. Position the antenna towards the back of the box, away from all other

    wiring.

3. Reinstall the wall switch to the wall box.

4. Reinstall the cover plate onto the wall box.

Restore power at the circuit breaker or fuse. 

Installation is complete.

Adding/Including/Pairing the Micro Smart Energy 

Switch G2 into a Z-Wave Network

Note:

 To  include  the  Aeotec  Micro  Smart  Energy  Switch  G2

with other controllers, please consult the operation manual 

for these controllers on how to include Z-Wave products 

into an existing network.

Troubleshooting: 

If  the Aeotec  Micro  Smart  Energy  Switch G2  was

not successfully included into any Z-Wave network, the LED will continually 

blink slowly.  If  the  Aeotec  Micro  Smart  Energy  Switch  G2  was 

successfully included to a Z-Wave network, the Status Indication LED 

will either be solid on or off depending on if the switch is on or off.

Note:

 To  remove  the  Aeotec  Micro  Smart  Energy  Switch

Troubleshooting: 

If  the  Aeotec  Micro  Smart  Energy  Switch  G2  was 

removed from the Z-Wave network, the Status Indication LED will be 

blinking. If the Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 was not successfully 

removed from the Z-Wave network, the Status Indication LED will either

1. Live - Hot wire (Black wire) Connect to Live terminal of Micro Smart Energy Switch G2.

2. Neutral (White wire) Note! If this wire is not present in the box, a neutral wire must 

    be pulled into the box.

3. Load wire  - Connect to Load terminal of Micro Smart Energy Switch G2.

4. Signal connection - Using two 

    18 AWG copper wires, connect 

    the terminals of the wall switch 

    to Micro Smart Energy Switch 

    G2 as shown.

Note

: If Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 was not put into in-wall box, 

Another way to reset Aeotec Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 is 

pressing and holding the button which is on Micro Smart Energy 

Switch G2 20 seconds.

While the Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 is powered in a 3-wire 

system, the external switch/button can be toggled to initiate 

pairing into the Z-Wave network. Or the internal button can be 

pushed to initiate pairing into the Z-Wave network if the Micro 

Smart Energy Switch G2 was not put into in-wall box.

While the Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 is powered in a 3-wire 

system, the external switch/button can be toggled 10 times in 

quick succession to initiate removing from the Z-Wave network. 

Or the internal button can be pushed to initiate pairing into the 

Z-Wave network if Micro Smart Energy Switch G2 was not put 

into in-wall box.
