Install the Nano Shutter.

Nano Shutter installs behind a switch or a momentary push button. It works with only 3-wire (with neutral) lighting setups, though each installation of Nano Shutter is accordingly slightly different:

1. Shut off the main circuit breaker of your home for safety during the installation and ensure the wires are not short-circuited during the installation which will cause damage to the Nano Shutter.

Note: Your home’s main circuit breaker must support the overload protection for safety.

2. Preparing connection wires

14 AWG power wires for Input / Output.

18 AWG copper wires for the external manual switch.

Use the wire stripper cut the metallic part of the connection wire and make sure the length of the metallic part is about 5mm.

Note: All connection wires needs to be a flexible cable for the easiest installation.

Quick Start.

Adding your Nano Shutter to a Z-Wave network.

After your Nano Shutter is installed and powered on, you are now able to manually control the Nano Shutter to open and close your motor connected directly via pressing your Nano Shutters Action Button. It is now time to add your Nano Shutter to the Z-Wave network. To set your Z-Wave gateway/controller into pairing mode, please refer to the respective section within your controller instruction manual.

If you’re using an existing gateway that supports Smart Start:

Note: Only works with devices that were delivered with version 3.0 from the factory and have a QR code on the device.

1. Install your Nano Shutter.

2. Scan the QR code on Nano Shutter using your Z-Wave gateway/controllers app.

3. Power On your Nano Shutter

4. Your Nano Shutter **** will automatically pair to your Z-Wave network.

If you’re using an existing gateway that does not support Smart Start:


1. Set your Z-Wave controller into pairing mode.

2. Press the Action Button on the Nano Shutter once or toggle the external manual switch once, the green LED (non-secure indication) will blink to indicate the Nano Shutter is entering into pairing mode.

  • Alternatively: if you have S1 or S2 wired to an external switch, you may toggle or press the switch attached.

3. If the Nano Shutter has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its RGB LED will be solid. If the pairing was unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for 2 seconds and then remain a colorful gradient. Repeat the instructions above from step 1.

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 Nano Shutter.

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.

With your Nano Shutter now working as a part of your smart home, you’ll be able to configure it from your home control software/phone application. Please refer to your software or gateway user guide for further instructions on configuring Nano Shutter to your needs.

Calibration of Nano Shutter (V 3.01 and later)

Calibration for Shutter has 2 modes: Shutter Mode and Venetian Mode.

In Shutter mode, only the Current Trip Time (Parameter 35) is used for up/down control.

In Venetian Mode, the Curtain Trip Time (Parameter 35) and Blade Turn Time (Parameter 34) are used for up/down control and angle of rotation of the blinds.

1. Shutter Mode

Used for standard roller blinds that move up and down only.

The calibration process is as follows:

A ) Enter calibration mode

  • By short pressing the Action button or external switch 3 times.
  • Or by sending a CONFIGURATION SET Parameter 36 [1 byte] to value 1.

B) The curtain will begin to move to the end in one direction (full open) reference point A.

  • Press the Action Button or S1/S2 external switches once the curtain is at max open to tell Nano Shutter to perform the next step.

C) The motor/curtain will reverse to other direction; reference point B.

  • Press the Action Button or S1/S2 external switches once the current is at the max close to finalizing the calibration.

D) Calibration is completed.

  • Nano Shutter records the run time from the reference point A to B , which is the time between max open and the max close of the curtain (this time can be read and modified through the Configuration 0x23 (35) if additional readjustments are needed).

Note: If the motor moves in the wrong direction, set parameter 22 [1 byte] = 3 to change the direction.

2. Venetian Mode

Nano Shutter in Venetian Mode can be set to open the blinds up/down, as well as the angle of rotation of the blinds

separately. There is a switch on Venetian to change the Controlling Channel for blind lifting and blinds rotation, the

switch needs manual operation by the user.

The calibration process is as follows:

A) Before this calibration, you need to manually set/switch the Venetian to the blind up/down moving control channel first.

B) Enter Venetian calibration mode by:

  • By short pressing Z-Wave button or external switch 5 times.
  • Or by sending a CONFIGURATION SET Parameter 36 [1 byte] = 2.

C) The motor connected to Nano Shutter should move toward the direction in which the blinds are curled upwards (reference point A). Once the blinds are fully opened and curled upwards completely (Reference A):

  • Press the Action Button or S1/S2 external switch once to calibrate Reference A.

D) Nano Shutter should now reverse the direction the motor blind movement downwards (Towards reference B). Once blinds close up completely (reference point B) :

  • Press the Action Button or S1/S2 external switch once to calibrate Reference B.

E) Now activate rotation calibration for reference point C and D , the rotation of the blinds.

  • Press and hold S1/S2 external switch between 1 – 2 seconds to initiate calibration for rotation.

F) Then short pressing the Action Button once to start the blind rotation calibration (reference point C). The blind rotation should start turning from 0° to 180° (or turning from reference point C to reference point D).

  • Press the Action Button or S1/S2 external switch once to calibrate Reference D.

G) The blind blades start to rotate in the opposite direction or turning from 180° to 0° (reference point D).

  • Press the Action Button/S1/S2 once the blades are rotated completely.

H) The blind blades will stop rotation now, which indicates the blade rotation calibration is complete.

The Nano Shutter records the run time between points A and B, and turn time between reference points C and D     which are curtain trip time and blade turn time (the recorded time can be read and modified from the Configuration Parameter 0x22 (34) and 0x23 (35)).
