Product Usage

Operating the device using switches

Controlling connected loads in RGBW mode (default)

Input can control output only with the same number (e.g. switch connected to IN1 controls load connected to output OUT1). Perform following actions on inputs to change state of the connected load:

    • 1xclick - change to the opposite one (ON/OFF)

Note: A single click switches between the OFF state and the last non-OFF state. It means it may set the colour back, but the light may not light up as it doesn’t change the brightness.

  • 2xclick - set the colour to 100%
  • hold/release – dimm/brighten colour
  •  
Controlling connected loads in HSB mode

 

HSB mode is enabled by setting parameter 150 to 1. Inputs correspond to different components in HSB colour space: IN1 - Hue, IN2 - Saturation, IN3 - Brightness and IN4 input controls OUT4 output. Perform following actions on inputs to change values of the components:

  • 1xclick when value is 0 - restore last set value
  • 1xclick when value is not 0 - set value to 0
  • 2xclick - set value to max
  • hold/release - increase/decrease value

When you hold the button connected to IN1, you revolve around the cone on the H (Hue) axis.
When you hold the button connected to IN2, you change the saturation (S).
When you hold the button connected to the IN3, you change the brightness (B).

 

Note: Remember that if the saturation is too low, you may not notice any changes while holding IN1.

Other actions

1,2,3xclick/hold/release - activate scene in the controller for specific action (requires prior configuration)

Visual indications

The built-in LED light shows current device status.

Menu:

  • Blinking green - entering the menu (added without Security S2 Authenticated)
  • Blinking magenta - entering the menu (added with Security S2 Authenticated)
  • Blinking red - entering the menu (not added to a Z-Wave network)
  • Green - reset energy consumption memory
  • Yellow - reset to factory defaults

Menu

Menu allows to perform Z-Wave network actions. In order to use the menu:

  1. Press and hold the service button to enter the menu, device blinks to signal adding status (see: Visual indications).
  2. Release the service button when device signals desired position with colour:
    • GREEN - reset energy consumption memory
    • YELLOW - reset to factory defaults
  3. Quickly click the service button to select, 2 blinks of the same colour will confirm the selection.

Activating scenes

The device can activate scenes in the Z-Wave controller by sending scene ID and attribute of a specific action using Central Scene Command Class.

In order for this functionality to work, connect momentary or toggle switch to the IN1-IN4 inputs and set parameters 20-23 to 2, 3 or 4 (depending on type of switch). By default scenes are not activated, set parameters 40-43 to enable scene activation for selected inputs and actions.
