Z-WAVE INTEROPERABILITY

This product can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave certified devices from other manufacturers and/or other applica-

tions. All non-battery operated nodes within the network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase the reliability of the network.

This Device supports Lifeline (association group 1) supporting 1 node for lifeline communication. 

Group 1 must be assigned the Node ID of the primary controller where unsolicited notifications will be sent. The Z-Wave controller should set this 

association automatically after inclusion. 

Lifeline association only supports the “Device Reset Locally” function. Refer to the instructions of your controller for any available details on how this 

can be set.

A quick note before we give out the wiring schematics. Please do not try installing this device if you are unsure of how electrical circuits operate 

within your home. As exciting as it is to have a smart switch installed, it can be dangerous and even life-threatening if you do not install this 

correctly. Please consult a qualified electrician if necessary. With that said, here are a few other warnings we’d like to point out for your safety:

 A Few Quick Reminders

Note before installation

150W LED, 500W

 incandescent.

2) The switch box required: 1-gang U.S. wall box. 

3½ in

 deep recommended, 

2¼ in

 deep minimum.

The switch is designed only for use 

with permanently installed fixtures.

3) Work with 

regular 3-way on/off 

for 2 locations control. It can only be connected with regular 3-way on/off switch, 

don't use a smart 

switch or a dimmer switch! Couldn't work with an add-on switch!

4) The colors of your wires may not match the ones in our diagrams so please make sure you've 

identified all wires correctly 

based on 

their source, not color only.

5) Please check your original 3-way wiring circuit in your home before installation, and then 

follow the wiring diagram option 1 or 2

 in 

the manual.

6) Install the smart switch in the switch box which directly connects to the power
