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.
Use this equipment only for its intended purpose. Follow the disposal instructions.
Do not dispose of electronic equipment or batteries in a fire or near open heat sources.
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.

Product Description
Smart Wall Switch with Advanced Connectivity
Aqara Light Switch H2 EU is a smart switch based on Matter over Thread and Zigbee communication protocol that can control lights and other devices with great flexibility and compatibility. It fits standard 55 mm switch frames, and features optional neutral wiring for more installation flexibility. It allows for remote control, scheduling, power monitoring, wireless switch mode, and other functions, and the MARS-Tech, which greatly improves the reliability of smart connections for Aqara Switch and Aqara light.
- Thread & Zigbee Support: Aqara Light Switch H2 EU supports both Matter over Thread and Zigbee. Matter over Thread for integrating with other third-party smart home brands and products, and Zigbee for full feature access such as the MARS-Tech, LED indicator light setup etc. in Aqara Home with an Aqara hub. This dual compatibility ensures seamless integration with both major third-party ecosystems and exclusive Aqara functionalities.
- Neutral and Non-Neutral 2-in-1: Aqara Light Switch H2 EU supports both no-neutral and with neutral wiring. Users do not need to know the circuit wiring at home, homes without a neutral wire can install it hassle-free, while homes with a neutral wire gain added features like overload & overheat protection and power monitoring for enhanced safety and efficiency.
- Power Consumption Monitoring: Aqara Light Switch H2 EU enables users to monitor and optimize energy efficiency. In homes with neutral wiring, it provides automatic, detailed power usage reports (daily, weekly, monthly). For no-neutral setups, users can manually input load values for basic consumption tracking, allowing for flexible energy management across different wiring configurations.
- 55 mm Frame Support: Aqara Light Switch H2 EU fits seamlessly into all standard System 55 switch modular systems (55 mm x 55 mm) and supports popular third-party frames, like Gira System 55 and Merten M. Its standardized design ensures compatibility across EU markets, minimizing the need for custom fittings and simplifying the installation.
- Overheat and Overload Protection: The Aqara Light Switch H2 EU enhances home safety with automatic protection features, it monitors temperature and current levels, cutting off the circuit if it detects overheating or electrical overloads. This proactive protection prevents potential device damage and provides users peace of mind.
- Wireless Switch Mode: Wireless Switch Mode enhances flexibility in home automation by offering users two distinct control options for the lower button: Single-Press Mode for fast automation, and Multi-Function Mode, enabling single, double, and long press for greater customization. This feature allows users to personalize their switch functions easily, aligning with their unique automation preferences.
Properties:
- Wireless Protocols: Matter over Thread, ZigBee, Bluetooth
- Power supply: 200 - 240V 50Hz, max 8A (resistive load)
- min Power: 5 W (No Neutral), Unlimited (With Neutral)
- Operating Temperature: 0°C - 40°C
- Humidity: 0 - 95%
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.
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.
Quick trouble shooting
Here are a few hints for network installation if things dont work as expected.
- Make sure a device is in factory reset state before including. In doubt exclude before include.
- If inclusion still fails, check if both devices use the same frequency.
- Remove all dead devices from associations. Otherwise you will see severe delays.
- Never use sleeping battery devices without a central controller.
- Dont poll FLIRS devices.
- Make sure to have enough mains powered device to benefit from the meshing

Explanation of Z-Wave specific terms
- Controller — is a Z-Wave device with capabilities to manage the network.
Controllers are typically Gateways,Remote Controls or battery operated wall controllers.
- Slave — is a Z-Wave device without capabilities to manage the network.
Slaves can be sensors, actuators and even remote controls.
- Primary Controller — is the central organizer of the network. It must be
a controller. There can be only one primary controller in a Z-Wave network.
- Inclusion — is the process of adding new Z-Wave devices into a network.
- Exclusion — is the process of removing Z-Wave devices from the network.
- Association — is a control relationship between a controlling device and
a controlled device.
- Wakeup Notification — is a special wireless message issued by a Z-Wave
device to announces that is able to communicate.
- Node Information Frame — is a special wireless message issued by a
Z-Wave device to announce its capabilities and functions.
