INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the GE SmartHome
™
Remote. Your home control
network can include up to 232 Z-Wave enabled devices. This remote allows you
to control up to 18 individual Z-Wave devices with one easy-to-use, compact unit.
You can also set up and control up to 18 groups of lights as well as 18 scenes for
task or mood lighting. Each group can include up to 232 Z-Wave devices and
each scene can include up to 32 Z-Wave devices. Lights can be included in
multiple groups. Scenes can include lights from different groups.
Please note:
The terms “Device”, “Node” and “Light” all refer to an individual
Z-Wave enabled device in your home control network and are interchangeable
within the context of these instructions.
If this remote is used as the primary controller, you must use it to create your
control network. You can use multiple remote controls with your Z-Wave lighting
control network, however, only one remote will act as the primary controller. The
primary controller must be used to add or delete devices (lights / nodes) from your
network. All other remotes are considered secondary and can be used to create
groups and/or scenes and control your lighting however secondary remotes
cannot add or delete devices from your control network.
NOTE: This product can be operated in one Z-Wave network with Z-Wave certified devices
from other manufacturers and/or other applications. The different listening nodes within
the network can act as repeaters regardless of vendor.
For best results, please read and perform all the remaining instructions before
using the remote. Keep this guide for future reference.
INSTALLING BATTERIES
Three “AAA” Alkaline batteries (not included) are required.
receives information from the remote.
6. When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to
your home network.
7. The device can now be added to Groups and/or Scenes.
NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key
or the device has not been successfully added to your home network. Please
make sure the remote is within two feet of the device and try again.
ADDING A LIGHT (DEVICE / NODE) TO YOUR REMOTE
You can add a maximum of 18 lights to your remote so that they can be

digit (1-9) if you are adding devices 10 through 18. (Green LED
blinks rapidly)
5. Press the button on the device so that it sends its information to the remote
and receives information from the remote.
6. When the green LED blinks twice, you have successfully added the device to
your remote control.
NOTE: If the red LED emits one long, steady blink, you have pressed an invalid key or the
device has not been successfully added to your remote. Please make sure the remote is
within two feet of the device and try again.

NOTES ON NETWORK MANAGEMENT:
Add a node, group or scene can also be referred to as include a node, group
or scene. Remove a node, group or scene can also be referred to as Exclude a node,
group or scene.
ADDING A DEVICE (NODE / LIGHT) TO THE NETWORK
