Quick start.

Getting your Smart Switch up and running is as simple as plugging it into a wall socket and adding it to your Z-Wave network. The following instructions will tell you how to add your Smart Switch to your existing Z-Wave network.
Using your existing Z-Wave Controller: supports Smart Start:

1. Scan the QR code on Smart Switch 7 using your Z-Wave gateway/controllers app.
2. Plugin your Smart Switch 7 to any outlet that you wish to install it on.
3. Your Smart Switch 7 will automatically pair to your Z-Wave network.

Using your existing Z-Wave Controller without Smart Start:

1. Set your Z-Wave Controller into its ‘Add Device’ mode.
   Refer to the Controller’s manual if you are unsure of how to perform this step.

2. Power your Smart Switch 7 to any outlet; its LED will flash blue and is ready to pair.

3. Click the Action Button 2 times within 3 second on Smart Switch 7 to pair it. After first click the LED will change to red, after second click the LED change to orange.
   a. Click the button once
   b. Wait until LED turns orange
   c. Tap the button again within 3 seconds.

4. If your Z-Wave Controller supports S2 encryption, enter the first 5 digits of DSK into your Controller’s interface if
   it is requested. The DSK is printed on Smart Switch 7.
   a. If pairing succeeds, it will become a bright blue light for 2 seconds.
   b. If pairing fails, it will light a solid bright red light for 2 seconds and then return to a breathing blue light; repeat steps 1 to 4 if this happens.

Smart Switch 7 is now a part of your Z-Wave home control system. You can configure it and its automation via yoZ-Wave system; please refer to your software’s user guide for precise instructions.
If further support is needed, please contact our support team for assistance.

Advanced functions.

Removing your Smart Switch from a Z-Wave network.
Your Smart Switch can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time. You’ll need to use your Z-Wave network’s main controller to do this.

Using your existing Z-Wave Controller:

1. Set your Z-Wave Controller into ‘Remove Device’ / ‘Unpair Device’ mode. Refer to the Controller’s manual if you are unsure of how to perform this step.
2. Make sure the product is powered. If not, plug it into a wall socket and power it on.
3. Click Action Button 2 times quickly; it will bright violet light up to 2s.
   a. If Removing fails, it will bright red light for 2 seconds and then turn back to Load Indicator Mode; repeat steps 1 to 3. Contact us for further support if needed.
   b. If Removing succeeds, it will become breathing blue light. Smart Switch 7 is removed from the Z-Wave network successfully and is ready to be paired again.

Reset your Smart Switch 7.
If the primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings.
Make sure the product is powered. If not, plug it into a wall socket and power on. To complete the reset process manually:

1. Press and hold the Action Button for at least 20 seconds and then release.
2. The LED indicator will fade its blue light in and out slowly, which indicates the reset operation is successful.

Configurations.

Parameter 4 – Overload threshold.
If power exceeds the value set in this parameter for over 1 minute, Smart Switch 7 will report and overload report and turn off Smart Switch 7.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 2415W

Parameter 8 – Switch reaction to alarm.
Set the response of the switch in response to an operation performed when an alarm is received.
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 0

disabled.

Parameter 9 – Alarm reaction when received.
Configure what alarms Smart Switch 7 will react to from other Z-Wave devices.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0

and be disabled by closed state.
1| The alarm will be triggered by closed state, and be disabled by open state.
256| Smoke alarm.
512| CO Alarm
1024| CO2 Alarm
---|---
2048| Heat Alarm
4096| Water Alarm
8192| Access Control
16384| Home Security

Value 0 and 1 cannot be used at the same time, choose one as a part of your calculation.
Use the sum of values to determine what alarms trigger your Smart Switch 7.
For example:
Value = 0 + 256 + 512 + 1024 = 1792
0 = sets the control scheme to turn on Smart Switch 7 when open alarm state happens
256 = allows Smoke Alarm signals to control SS7
512 = allows CO Alarm signals to control SS7
1024 = allows CO2 Alarm signals to control SS7

Parameter 10 – Release/Disable alarm.
Sets how you are able to disable Smart Switch 7s alarm state.
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 0

Parameter 18 – Flash frequency.
Configures the LED flash frequency and amount of time.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0x0002 or 2

Parameter 19 – Start/Stop LED flash (Write Only)
Sets the timeframe of flashing in seconds
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0 (disables LED flash during alarm)

blinking process.
---|---

Parameter 20 – Power restored state.
Sets which state Smart Switch 7 switches to when power is lost then restored (power outage).
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 0

(restore state before power loss)
1| Power restored to ON.
2| Power restored to OFF.

Parameter 80 – Status Update.
Keeps the status of Smart Switch 7 in sync with your Z-Wave gateway. Determine which reports are sent to your gateway upon a state change (ie. If switch turns ON, then the switch will forward state update to Z-Wave gateway).
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 2

Parameter 81 – LED indicator mode.
Allows you to configure how the LED indicator works.
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 2

Brightness can be controlled via Multilevel Switch CC.
Colour can be controlled via Color Switch CC.
2| On/Off Mode.
Default use
ON = 50% white light
OFF = 10% green light
Brightness can be controlled via Multilevel Switch CC.
Colour can be controlled via Color Switch CC.

Parameter 82 – Night Light Mode
Enable or disable Night Light Mode during specific times.
Size = 4 Byte
Default Setting = 0x12000800 (ON at 12pm and OFF at 8am)

Byte value = 0x (Value 1)(Value 2)(Value 3)(Value 4)
Suggestion – use a “hexadecimal to decimal converter” that can be easily found on google.

For example:
If you want to set Night Light Mode to be enabled at 19:00 at night and disable at 07:30 in the morning, you just need to configure:
Value1=0x13, Value2=0x00, Value3=0x07, Value4=0x1E.
Input 0x1300071E into a hexadecimal calculator, the output decimal value will be 318768926.

Parameter 91 – Watt threshold.
If Watt passes the threshold setting by + or -, a Watt report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0

Parameter 92 – kWh threshold.
If kWh passes the threshold setting by + or -, a kWh report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0x0064 or 100

Parameter 93 – Current threshold.
If current passes the threshold setting by + or -, a current report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 0

If value 10 is set, this is the equivalent of setting threshold to 1.0A.

Parameter 101 – Timed report enable/disable.
Sets what sensors should be reported at a timed interval. This can be used at the same time as threshold reporting to
allow both thresholds and timed reports to be used.
Size = 4 Byte
Default Setting = 0 (disabled)

The values in the table above should be added together.
For example:
If you want kWh and Watt only, you would add 1 + 2 = 3.
If you want all values (current, voltage, watt, kWh) reported at an interval, you would add 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15.
If 0 is set to this parameter setting, this would completely disable timed reports. (Parameter 111 does not need to be set).

Parameter 111 – Timed report interval.
Reports the sensors set on Parameter 101.
Size = 4 Byte
Default Setting = 600

Parameter 255 – Factory reset.
This value can only be configured to reset default values of Smart Switch 7 parameter settings. This can also be used
to factory reset and remove it from your Z-Wave network.
Size = 4 Byte
Default Setting = N/A

Any value within 4
bytes.| Reset Parameter Settings to default settings.
0x55555555 or
1431655765| Completely factory reset and remove from network.
