Quickstart

This is a secure Light Dimmer for CEPT (Europe). To run this device please connect it to your mains power supply. To add this device to your network execute the following action:
1. Screw the RGBW bulb into a standard E27 socket.2. Turn on the bulb with your wall switch to apply power to the bulb. a) If youre not using a wall switch, then use your alternate method to apply power to the bulb.3. Activate the included/excluded mode on your Z-wave controller or gateway.a) This may also be done through your associated app, if your ecosystem has that capability.4. Toggle the wall-switch, from OFF, then to ON. a) Or use your alternate method to toggle power from OFF, then to ON. 5. The LED bulb will flash once if it has been successfully included/ excluded into your Z-Wave network.Note: If you are using 3rdparty Z-Wave Controller or Gateway, please refer to 3rdPartys instruction on how to add a new device to your network.Note 2: If the bulb will not join the network after repeated attempts, please use the Factory Reset procedures to clear the bulbs settings.

Important safety information

Please read this manual carefully. Failure to follow the recommendations in this manual may be dangerous or may violate the law. The manufacturer, importer, distributor and seller shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from failure to comply with the instructions in this manual or any other material.

What is Z-Wave?

Z-Wave is the international wireless protocol for communication in the Smart Home. This device is suited for use in the region mentioned in the Quickstart section.

Z-Wave ensures a reliable communication by reconfirming every message (two-way communication) and every mains powered node can act as a repeater for other nodes (meshed network) in case the receiver is not in direct wireless range of the transmitter.

This device and every other certified Z-Wave device can be used together with any other certified Z-Wave device regardless of brand and origin as long as both are suited for the same frequency range.

If a device supports secure communication it will communicate with other devices secure as long as this device provides the same or a higher level of security. Otherwise it will automatically turn into a lower level of security to maintain backward compatibility.

For more information about Z-Wave technology, devices, white papers etc. please refer to www.z-wave.info.

Product Description

Our RGBW bulb has three functional categories: Good, Better and Best. Good is your basic On, Off and Dim. Using your app and controller/gateway, you can turn your lights on, off and dim them down to 5% brightness from anywhere in the world, using your smartphone. At 2700K and 800 lumens, it is a true 60W equivalent. At Better, this is where the innovative technology takes over. You get your basic On, Off and Dim, but now you have the ability to tune the white color from a warm 1800K to a cool 6500K. The ability to tune the white is what we call Tunable White, or TW. The last functional category is Best. With Best, not only do you get On, Off, Dim, and Tunable White, but now we add the colors of Red, Green and Blue. This lighting is what we call RGBW. With LeedarsonsRGBW bulbs, you will get full, saturated colors that are true Reds, true Greens and true Blues. Having this capability allows combinations of 16 Million colors. With all of our lighting, and the app that supports it, you can group lights together, set different lighting scenes for different groups and set schdules to autotmatically turns lights, and groups, on and off. Automatically turning your lights on and off when youre away, gives the impression you are actually home and this will help deter unwanted entry.

Prepare for Installation / Reset

Please read the user manual before installing the product.

In order to include (add) a Z-Wave device to a network it must be in factory default state. Please make sure to reset the device into factory default. You can do this by performing an Exclusion operation as described below in the manual. Every Z-Wave controller is able to perform this operation however it is recommended to use the primary controller of the previous network to make sure the very device is excluded properly from this network.

Reset to factory default

This device also allows to be reset without any involvement of a Z-Wave controller. This procedure should only be used when the primary controller is inoperable.

Physically switch the bulb on and off six (6) times for intervals of 0.5-2 seconds. After the 6th time, the bulb will flash twice indicating that its successfully reset.A factory default is performed when the bulb is excluded from the Z-Wave network.Please use this procedure only when the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

Safety Warning for Mains Powered Devices

ATTENTION: only authorized technicians under consideration of the country-specific installation guidelines/norms may do works with mains power. Prior to the assembly of the product, the voltage network has to be switched off and ensured against re-switching.

Inclusion/Exclusion

On factory default the device does not belong to any Z-Wave network. The device needs to be added to an existing wireless network to communicate with the devices of this network. This process is called Inclusion.

Devices can also be removed from a network. This process is called Exclusion. Both processes are initiated by the primary controller of the Z-Wave network. This controller is turned into exclusion respective inclusion mode. Inclusion and Exclusion is then performed doing a special manual action right on the device.

Inclusion

1. Screw the RGBW bulb into a standard E27 socket.2. Turn on the bulb with your wall switch to apply power to the bulb. a) If youre not using a wall switch, then use your alternate method to apply power to the bulb.3. Activate the included/excluded mode on your Z-wave controller or gateway.a) This may also be done through your associated app, if your ecosystem has that capability.4. Toggle the wall-switch, from OFF, then to ON. a) Or use your alternate method to toggle power from OFF, then to ON. 5. The LED bulb will flash once if it has been successfully included/ excluded into your Z-Wave network.Note: If you are using 3rdparty Z-Wave Controller or Gateway, please refer to 3rdPartys instruction on how to add a new device to your network.Note 2: If the bulb will not join the network after repeated attempts, please use the Factory Reset procedures to clear the bulbs settings.

Exclusion

1. Screw the RGBW bulb into a standard E27 socket.2. Turn on the bulb with your wall switch to apply power to the bulb. a) If youre not using a wall switch, then use your alternate method to apply power to the bulb.3. Activate the included/excluded mode on your Z-wave controller or gateway.a) This may also be done through your associated app, if your ecosystem has that capability.4. Toggle the wall-switch, from OFF, then to ON. a) Or use your alternate method to toggle power from OFF, then to ON. 5. The LED bulb will flash once if it has been successfully included/ excluded into your Z-Wave network.Note: If you are using 3rdparty Z-Wave Controller or Gateway, please refer to 3rdPartys instruction on how to add a new device to your network.Note 2: If the bulb will not join the network after repeated attempts, please use the Factory Reset procedures to clear the bulbs settings.

Quick trouble shooting

Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.

  1. Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
  2. If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
  3. Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
  4. Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
  5. Dont poll FLIRS devices.
  6. Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Association - one device controls an other device

Z-Wave devices control other Z-Wave devices. The relationship between one device controlling another device is called association. In order to control a different device, the controlling device needs to maintain a list of devices that will receive controlling commands. These lists are called association groups and they are always related to certain events (e.g. button pressed, sensor triggers, ...). In case the event happens all devices stored in the respective association group will receive the same wireless command wireless command, typically a 'Basic Set' Command.

Association Groups:
