Using LED Bulb.
With your LED Bulb now a part of your smart home, you’ll be able to schedule, configure and control it your Z-Wave gateway. Please refer to the relevant pages of your gateway’s user manual for instructions on configuring LED Bulb to your needs. Not all gateways will support changing LED bulbs color, if this is a function you require, please contact your gateways support team to determine if the color changing over their interface is compatible.
Alternatively, you may refer to the section “Manually Changing LED Bulbs color” under the “Advanced functions” in the below sections if your gateway does not support color changing.
Please note that the wall switch controlling LED Bulb needs to be left in the on position in order for LED Bulb to function within your Z-Wave network. In the off position, LED Bulb will not be able to draw power and will not be remotely controllable nor be able to serve as a Z-Wave repeater.
Advanced functions.
Manually Changing LED Bulbs color.
LED Bulb can fill your room with multiple shades of white and an additional 16 million different colors. It’s possible to manually select some of these without the use of your Z-Wave gateway. To do this;
1. Toggle LED Bulb off, on, off, on in quick succession via its wall switch. LED Bulb has now entered color cycle mode and will cycle through the following colors: warm white, cold white, red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple.
2. When the color cycle arrives at the color you’d like to select, toggle off LED Bulb via the wall switch. The visible color will be set as your bulb’s default.
Removing LED Bulb from a Z-Wave network.
Your LED Bulb can be removed from your Z-Wave network at any time using your Z-Wave gateway. To set your gateway into removal mode, please refer to the respective section of its user manual.
1. Set your Z-Wave gateway into device removal mode.
2. Turn LED Bulb’s wall switch on.
3. Toggle LED Bulb’s wall switch off, on, off, on, off, on within 2 seconds. The LED should flash orange, and if successful, the orange LED will be solid for 2 seconds before becoming a white color.
4. LED Bulb should now be removed from your Z-Wave network.
To confirm successful removal its color will change to orange for 2 seconds before changing to white. If removal was unsuccessful, LED Bulb will blink orange for 3 seconds before changing to red for 2 seconds.
Removing LED Bulb from your Z-Wave network will reset LED Bulb to default factory settings.
Security inclusion.
If your gateway supports secure inclusion, you may add it as a secured device within your network where its communication is encapsulated by AES128 encryption.
1. Set your Z-Wave hub into pairing mode.
2. Ensure that the LED Bulb is toggled on at the wall switch, then toggle off, on, off, on, off, on within 2 seconds. The blue LED will blink to indicate the Bulb is entering into secure pairing mode.
3. If LED Bulb has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its RGB LED will be solid when you turn LED Bulb on.
