Z-Wave SmartStart
This device supports Z-Wave’s new SmartStart feature. Please do not throw out
the card within the box that has your unique QR Code with your DSK (Device
Specific Key). This QR Code can also be found on the front of the switch (metal
plate) and box.
HUB Installation Instructions.
All HUB’s are different, so why should your installation instructions be the
same? Below you’ll find a QR Code to specific instructions for your HUB (NOTE:
If you don’t see your HUB, please scan the “Other” QR Code). As you can
imagine, it’s hard to keep written instructions up to date with all the
HUB/App changes, so the most recent instructions will be on the site.
However, if you’re a manual guy/gal, we get it, please see Page 7 for more
details! If ever you run into any issues, please reach out to us at:
contact@inovelli.com.

About Z-Wave.
Z-Wave is an incredible technology. With it powering your home, you can choose from over 600 companies and 2100 products, all of which will work with each other. The more devices, the more stable the network. The purpose of this portion of the manual is to help you understand how Z-Wave works (in layman’s terms) as well as help you organize an efficient Z-Wave network, setting you up for success in the long run. After all, we’re assuming you’ll want more than one smart home device!
Z-Wave Network | Using Devices That Repeat Signals.
As referenced in the intro, Z-Wave can be used with a few devices or it can be used to build a large network. Below you’ll see two examples. In the first example, a user has a HUB that is looking for Z-Wave devices within its radius. Z-Wave devices outside this radius will not be found and need to either be moved within the radius or use a repeating device to reach it. The second example shows how a repeater can be used to reach a device outside of the initial radius. Keep this in mind when building your own network and make sure to use the range estimator below.
NOTE: Z-Wave range will never be a perfect circle due to walls, furniture, etc. The above is for reference only, please use the “Range Estimator” below and the Worksheet on Page 3 for a better idea of where to place your switch or whether or not your chosen location will be in range.
Z-Wave Range Estimator.
Please use the below information to determine the depreciation of the Z-Wave signal. Z-Wave devices should have a distance of approximately 100m (328ft) without any obstacles in the way. Using the below information, if a signal has to travel through an inner wall, it will lose approximately 40% of its signal. Therefore, 100m multiplied by (100% – 40%) = 60m (197ft). Do this for every wall, window, etc and you will have your approximation. There’s a worksheet on Page 3 that will help. As always, this is just an estimate. Depending on the manufacturer’s quality for your other Z-Wave products, your signal may vary.
Material | Thickness | Signal Depreciation |
---|---|---|
Aerated Concrete Stone | < 30cm /111.8″ | 20 % |
Aluminum Coating | < lmm // 0.04″ | 100 % |
Ceiling | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 70 % |
Furniture (non wood) | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 40 60% |
Glass (w/out metal coating) | – Scm // 2.0″ | 10 % |
Inner Wall | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 40 96 |
Iron Reinforced Concrete | < 30cm /111.8″ | 30-90 96 |
Material | Thickness | Signal Depreciation |
---|---|---|
Metal Grid | < 1 mm /1 0.04″ | 90 % |
Outer Wall | = 30cm 1/ 11.8″ | 60 % |
Plaster | < 10cm 1/ 3.9″ | 10 % |
Pumice | = 30cm // 11.8″ | 10% |
Red Brick | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 35 % |
Stone | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 30/0 |
Wood | < 30cm // 11.8″ | 40-60 % |
Z-Wave Range Worksheet.
Feel free to use the below worksheet to give an estimate on where you can put your Z-Wave Switch relative to your HUB (or another Z-Wave repeater). Below is an example of how to use the sheet, using, “Example 1” from Page 2.
Starting Distance | Obstacle | Signal Depreciation | Ending Distance |
---|---|---|---|
100m // 328ft | Inner Wall | 40% | 60m // 197ft |
60m // 197ft | Inner Wall | 40% | 36m // 118ft |
36m // 118ft | Wood Stairs | 60% | 14m // 47ft |
14m // 4Th | Inner Wall | 40% | 9m // 28ft |
9m // 28ft | Wood Cabinet | 50% | 5m // 15ft |
5m // 15ft | Wood Table & Chairs | 60% | 2m // 7ft |
For the starting Distance, use 100m. Then look directly from your HUB to wherever you’d like to put the outlet and see what obstacles are in the way. Then list those obstacles on the worksheet below (using the charts from Page 2).
Starting Distance | Obstacle | Signal Depreciation | Ending Distance |

Best Practices for Pairing your LZW30 – On/Off Switch
Now that you’ve read how to calculate the Z-Wave range and have determined the
best location to put your switch, it’s important to understand some best
practices of how to pair this device. Below are a few things to keep in mind
when you start your individualized pairing instructions (Pages 7-8).
Calculate the Maximum Distance From the Worksheet Above and Place Well
Within That Distance
PleaPlease use the worksheet above to calculate your maximum distance. This
will save us both the headache of offline devices.
Remember to add all objects that could potentially be in the way and it’s our
recommendation to be conservative with the distance numbers.
Run a Z-Wave Refresh After Successfully Pairing/Including (Optional)
When you have successfully paired/included your device, it’s important to run
a “Z-Wave Refresh” on your network. In summary, your HUB/Gateway assigns a
NodeID to every single Z-Wave device and catalogs those NodeID’s into a table
to access later when it’s sending/receiving information from each. It catalogs
where each NodeID is and what neighbors it has around it so that the
transmission signals are efficient. Running a, “Z-Wave Refresh” will tell the
HUB to re-catalog the various devices (NodeID’s) and update where each device
is to, again, optimize the transmission path. The reason why this is optional
is that your HUB HUB/Gateway should automatically run a refresh when the
device is added, but we’re recommending it just in case it doesn’t.
Wiring Instructions – A Few Quick Reminders A quick note before we give out the wiring schematics. Please do not try installing this device if you are unsure of how electrical circuits operate within your home. As exciting as it is to have a smart switch installed, it can be dangerous and even life- threatening if you do not install this correctly. Please consult a qualified electrician if necessary as we are unable to give wiring advice outside of schematics.
CAUTION – PLEASE READ!
This device (LZW30) is intended for installation in accordance with the
National Electric Code and local regulations in the United States, or the
Canadian Electrical Code and local regulations in Canada. If you are unsure or
uncomfortable about performing this installation consult a qualified
electrician.
OTHER WARNINGS
Risk of Fire
Risk of Electrical Shock
Risk of Burns
CONTROLLING APPLIANCES & MOTORS
These dimming switches are NOT meant to control appliances. Please only use
these for controlling lights.
In addition, please DO NOT USE TO CONTROL FANS as it will ruin your fan’s
motor. These switches are not built to control a fan or any motor.
MEDICAL EQUIPMENT
Please DO NOT use this switch to control Medical or Life Support equipment.
Z-Wave devices should never be used to control the On/Off status of Medical
and/or Life Support equipment.
WARNING – SHOCK HAZARD
TURN OFF THE POWER to the circuit for the switch and lighting fixture at
the service panel (circuit breaker) prior to installation.
All wiring connections must be made with the POWER OFF to avoid personal
injury and/or damage to the switch.
USING MULTIPLE SWITCHES
The metal plates surrounding the switch assembly are heat sinks. The maximum
load rating (600W) is applicable when installed in a single gang box with all
six (6) tabs still intact (See numbers 1-6 on Figure 1.1). To install multiple
switches in a gang box please remove the tabs on the outside. This can be done
by removing either the left and/or right sides by using needle-nose pliers
(clamp onto the tabs and wiggle back and forth until the tabs break off).
Please see, “Max Wattage Key” for max wattage based on removing the tabs.
MAX WATTAGE KEY
This switch is designed for use only with permanently installed fixtures.
If you are installing multiple smart switches in a gang box, you will have to
remove the heat sink tabs (#’s 1-6 shown in Figure 1.1). Doing so will have no
effect on the overall performance of the switch.
Unlike the dimmer, the On/Off does not use the heat sink tabs to dissipate
heat, so the removal of them will have no impact on the switch.
PLEASE NOTE: As of 05/25/19, we are unable to provide electrical and/or
wiring advice outside of our schematics. If you are unable to read a schematic
or are not familiar with wiring, we suggest hiring an electrician. We
apologize for any inconvenience.
**Wiring Instructions: Installation In a Single Pole or 3-Way (Aux)
Setting (Quick Notes)
**
Please use this page for a single-pole installation or if you’d like to use an auxiliary (add-on) switch. See below for some things to consider during your installation.
- This On/Off switch requires a neutral (white wire) to work. If you have no-neutral, please purchase our dimmer switch.
- An aux (add-on) switch is a device that is not smart but allows your 3-Way (multi-switch) setup to “match” in that the switches.
- will rest in a neutral state when pressed. The two brands we’ve tested are HomeSeer and GE, which work fine.
For additional wiring schematics and instructions, please see our website.
Single-Pole Installation (One Switch Controls the Light)
WIRING KEY & PRO TIPS

Getting to Know Your LZW30 Switch.
Now that you’ve wired up your switch, it’s time to understand the basics of
your new smart switch. For more advanced configurations, please see Pages 9-10.
A. Config Button: This button is used to enter the configuration menu on
your switch. When you hold it down for 10-15 seconds, the LED Bar (B) will
light up Yellow to indicate you’re in config mode. Then follow the config menu
on Page 10 to configure your switch to the way you’d like.
B. RGB LED Notification Bar: This LED bar serves as a visual display that
indicates whether your lights are on and off and can be changed to the color
of your choosing (more on that on pages 9-10). Finally, the bar can be used to
test Z-Wave Signal by holding the Config Button (A) for 5-10 seconds (Red =
Not in Range, Green = In Range).
C. Responsive Paddle: The paddle works similar to a standard on/off
switch in that when you tap the switch up, it will turn the light on and when
you tap the switch down, it will shut the light off. Finally, the paddle can
be removed if you’d like to change colors.
D. Air Gap Switch: This will cut power to the load your switch is wired
to (ie: light bulb).
Including (Pairing) Your Switch: General Instructions
Below are the general instructions on how to include (pair) the switch. For
HUB specific instructions, please scan one of the QR Codes on Page 1 or visit
the URL underneath each QR Code for more information. However, if you know
how to put your HUB or Gateway in inclusion mode, you can follow the
instructions below to get started.
IMPORTANT: If you are having issues pairing/including your device, please
ensure your switch is within range of your HUB (pages 2-3) or by checking the
Z-Wave signal by holding down the Config Button (A) for five (5) seconds (more
info below in the, “Z-Wave Range Check” section). If you’re within range and
the LED Bar (B) is GREEN when you check the range, then you will have to run
an Exclusion. Put your HUB in Exclusion mode and press the Config Button (A)
3x until your HUB says the device is excluded. You may then add (include) the
switch per the instructions below.
Steps 1: Gather Your Materials, Find an Appropriate Location, and Install
Your Switch
Materials Needed: Gangbox with Neutral, Line & Load Wires, Cell
Phone/Tablet/Computer, and a Z-Wave enabled HUB/Gateway.
- Locate an area to install your switch within the recommended distance (Pages 2-3) from your HUB/Gateway.
- Walls, furniture, and other obstructions may degrade the communication between the Switch and your HUB/Gateway, so please keep this in mind when selecting a location.
- Follow the recommended wiring instructions on page 5 — REMEMBER: TURN OFF ELECTRICITY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Step 2: Adding (Including) to the Network & Finishing the Setup Process
Now that the switch is physically installed, let’s start the inclusion
(pairing) process.
- Turn the power back on and start the inclusion process on your HUB/Gateway.
- Once the inclusion process has started, press the config button (A) 3x and the LED Bar (B) will flash blue. If the switch was included successfully, the bar will turn GREEN, however, if the switch was not included successfully it will turn RED.
- Z-Wave Range Check: Easily check whether or not your switch is within range by holding the Config Button (A) for 5-10 seconds. The LED bar will indicate RED = Not in Range, or GREEN = Within Range (Good Signal).
Including (Pairing) Your Switch: SmartThings Instructions
Below are the general instructions on how to include (pair) the switch for
Samsung SmartThings users.
PLEPLEASE READ: As of the date this manual was written (May 27th, 2019),
the switch has not been WWST (Works With SmartThings Certified). However, by
the launch date of our product, we do anticipate it will be WWST Certified.
The reason we’re stating this is because if you receive this product prior to
the certification, you will need to use the SmartThings Classic App and also
install a Device Handler for you to experience all the bells and whistles. If
you use the Samsung Connect App or do not install a Device Handler with the
SmartThings Classic App, the remote functionality will only be on and off.
You’ll still be able to configure the switch as shown on Pages 9-10, but there
will be no advanced features without directly configuring from the switch.
IMPORTANT: If you are having issues pairing/including your device, please
ensure your switch is within range of your HUB (pages 2-3) or by checking the
Z-Wave signal by holding down the Config Button (A) for five (5) seconds
(more info below in the, “Z-Wave Range Check” section). If you’re within range
and the LED Bar (B) is GREEN when you check the range, then you will have to
run an Exclusion. For Exclusion mode, click, “Menu”, then “Hub is Online”,
then, “Z-Wave Utilities”, and finally, “General Device Exclusion”. Then press
the Config Button (A) 3x until your HUB says the device is excluded. You may
then add (include) the switch.
Steps 1: Gather Your Materials, Find an Appropriate Location, and Install
Your Switch
Materials Needed: Gangbox with Neutral, Line & Load Wires, Cell
Phone/Tablet/Computer, and a Z-Wave enabled HUB/Gateway.
- Locate an area to install your switch within the recommended distance (Pages 2-3) from your HUB/Gateway.
- Walls, furniture, and other obstructions may degrade the communication between the Switch and your HUB/Gateway, so please keep this in mind when selecting a location.
- Follow the recommended wiring instructions on page 5 — REMEMBER: TURN OFF ELECTRICITY BEFORE INSTALLATION!
Step 2: Adding (Including) to the Network & Finishing the Setup Process
(Using the SmartThings Classic App)
Now that the switch is physically installed, let’s start the inclusion
(pairing) process. Please make sure you are using the, “SmartThings Classic”
app. If you’d like to use the Samsung Connect App, please check the WWST URL
to see if Inovelli is listed: https://www.smartthings.com/products. If it’s
not, you will have to use the Classic app with a Device Handler.
Restore power to your switch and if wired properly, the LED bar will light up
(should flash a series of colors, then turn blue) Open up your SmartThings
Classic app and click on the, “My Home” tab followed by the, “Things” tab
Scroll to the bottom and click on, “Add a Thing” or click on the (+) at the
top right of the screen Press the config button (A) 3x and the LED bar should
flash blue (if it doesn’t, try pressing the buttons faster or slower)
indicating the switch is in inclusion mode. If successful, the switch LED Bar
(B) will turn Green. If unsuccessful, the LED Bar will turn RED.
you should now see that your device is detected (it should say, “Z-Wave
Switch” or something similar) After your device is detected, press, “Save”
(or if you’d like to rename your device, please do so and click, “Save”)
Once you click, “Save” a pop-up will appear asking you to, “Confirm Paired

Switch Configuration Settings
There are a couple of ways to configure your switch. The first is via the switch itself, while the second is via your HUB or Gateway. On this page, we’ll show you which parameters can be changed via the switch and how to change them while on Page 10, we’ll define all of the parameters and list the Z-Wave command classes for reference. Let’s begin!

This will set the default color of the LED Bar
This will set the intensity of the LED bar (ie: how bright it is)
This is the intensity when the switch is off
Figure 1.2 – Parameters that can be changed from the switch
NOTE: Below is the logic behind how to configure the above parameters (Figure 1.2) from the switch itself. Due to space constraints of this manual, we’ll show you how to configure some of the more popular parameters. For more details, please visit our website which will have written and video tutorials for each parameter listed in Figure 1.2.
Configuration Logic
PLEASE NOTE: Due to space constraints on the 500 Series Chip, there will be
a slight learning curve as we couldn’t optimize the User Experience the
way we wanted. Please look to our website for tutorial videos and updates on
improved UX.
Once you master the logic behind how the configuration works, any of the
parameters in Figure 1.2 can be changed.
- To enter configuration mode, hold down the config button (A) for 10-15 seconds and the LED Bar (B) will light up YELLOW
- From here, refer to Figure 1.2 to see what parameter you’d like to change and tap the config button that many times (look at them, “About” column to find the parameter you’d like to change and then go one column to the left — highlighted in red — to see how many times you need to press the Config Button (A). For example: If you want to change the “Power On State”, press the config button (A) 1x or if you want to change the, “LED Indicator Intensity”, press the Config Button (A) 4x and so on).
- Once your parameter has been selected, the LED Bar (B) will blink YELLOW indicating what parameter you’re on (1x = 1, 2x = 2, etc) — now press up or down on the paddle (C) to adjust the parameter settings (Figure 1.3 – highlighted in red) to your liking.
- Finally, once you’ve settled on the customization you like, it’s time to save your configuration settings. To do this, hold the config button (A) again for 10-15 seconds and the LED Bar (B) will then blink CYAN to confirm.
Specific Example
- Using the logic above, let’s change the, “Power On State” to Off (when power is restored after a power outage, the switch will return to the Off state regardless of if it was on prior).
- Hold the Config Button (A) for 10-15 seconds to enter config mode (LED Bar will light up YELLOW)
- Looking at Figure 1.2, you’ll notice that to edit, “Power On State”, you need to tap the config button 1x
- After tapping the Config Button (A) 1x, the LED Bar (B) will blink Yellow one (1) time followed by a five (5) the second pause, then blink again one (1) time, followed by a five (5) second pause, etc — this indicates the parameter being edited is Parameter 1 (Parameter 2 would be 2x followed by a 5-second pause, etc)
- FiguFigure 1.3 (Page 10) shows that the Power On State has the options of 0, 1, or 2 (0 = Last State, 1 = On, 2 = Off). Since we want to change the default to, “Off”, we’ll press upon the Paddle (C) three (3) times. Now, we’ll save this configuration by holding down on the Config Button (A) for 10-15 seconds (LED Bar (B) will blink CYAN to confirm and save).
NOTE: To easily understand what parameter you’re editing, the LED Bar will slow blink (ie: if you release your finger from the paddle and you’re on parameter 6, the switch will blink 6x to show you).
Slow blinks = multiples of 10 / Fast blinks = single digits
example: 34 = 3 slow blinks followed by 4 fast blinks
Switch Parameters
Below you’ll find the various parameters associated with your switch. There are a ton of options for customization and as you can imagine, it’s hard to write out all the possibilities in a manual. Please use this as a guide, but also feel free to check out our site where we’ll give some specific examples using each parameter.

Project Knight Flank
You may have noticed our signatures and project name on the inside of the box
and wondered, “what is that all about?”. Well, great question! All of our
products have a project name associated with them that means something to us
and speaks directly to the device itself. It’s personality if you will. In
addition to the project name, our signatures indicate that we’ve all signed off
on the project. We believe in the project and worked hard, along with you, to
bring it to life.
Project the project, “Knight Flank”, aside from having a cool name, is
actually a pretty sweet project. The name comes from chess, where the Knight
is more of a supplemental piece. It hangs out on the board while the Bishops,
Castles and Queen make their moves and works in tangent with them to
ultimately put the opposing King in check. These switches are very similar in
that they are supplemental to your home’s smart home strategy. They work in
tangent with many other smart home products, many HUB’s, and together with our
other devices, they flank the competition and put them in check to bring you an
incredible smart home.
there’s a reason we can say this and it’s because our products are built by
not only us, but by you. These are community-built products in which 100’s, if
not 1000’s of people outside of Inovelli have contributed to.
So, thank you for not only your support, but for helping us put out the next
generation of smart switches.
While every project has a sentimental value to me, the project, “Knight Flank” holds a special spot in my heart as it speaks to the very core of what Inovelli is. I started this company back in 2016 with the goal of putting out the best products, at the best value, with the best customer support. “Knight Flank” was created to offer a low-cost product with literally the best firmware and hardware available. The best part is this was created for not only the budget shopper but it can be fully customized by anyone who has a Z-Wave HUB, which is a huge innovation for Z-Wave.
Building on what Eric H. said, I like the fact that this product allows everyone to customize their switch regardless of what HUB they use. In the past, our biggest issue was that our firmware was amazing, but the HUB it was connected to may be limited. In other words, our switches were only as smart as the HUB or Gateway they were paired to. Having the ability to customize from the switch itself is truly a game-changer and I’m incredibly proud of the team for pulling this off.
Being the CFO, I’m all about getting the best value for what I invest in, without breaking the bank. The project, “Knight Flank” is literally just that. The switch itself is power-packed with the most customizable firmware in the market, hardware that can be installed in almost any setting, all for around $5- 10 less than the leading brand. I signed off on this project because we found a way to make this affordable for the average smart homeowner, but also made the switch truly innovative and worthy of our Inovelli brand name.
One of my favorite things about the project, “Knight Flank” was that we didn’t sacrifice quality and features to get the price down. There’s literally nothing like this in the market and we’re incredibly proud of this. Working with the smart home community on Facebook as well as customer feedback, we put together a truly remarkable switch that we can all feel great about.
Like our Red Series switches, this switch means a lot to me. I felt a strong connection to this switch in that I remember being in Eric’s office talking to him about features that customers are requesting and him putting a large sticky note on the wall and taking notes. One of the main things we kept hitting on was that people wanted customization (ramp rate, minimum dim level, etc) and there had to be a way to give it to them, even if their HUB’s didn’t support it. Six months later, here we are, launching a switch that we literally dreamed up, along with customers. It’s a pretty cool feeling watching this come to life.
