INSTALLATION: PLEASE READ

WAIT!
Make sure the load you are about to connect does not exceed 1800W, 15A, or 1/2 HP in power.
DO NOT CONNECT THIS SWITCH TO 220V APPLIANCES.

Connecting heavy duty equipment powered by 220V to this Power Switch will DAMAGE the device and may cause the connected appliance to malfunction.

DO NOT connect any of the following to this Power Switch:

220V water boilers
Electrical dryers
220V compressors or pumps
Phone or battery chargers
Electric heaters

You may safely use this smart plug with:

110V refrigerators rated at or below 15A
110V window and split AC units rated at or below 15A
110V Humidifiers and dehumidifiers
110V Sump pumps and other pumps rated at or below 1/2HP
Microwaves
Gas dryers
Floor lamps
TV’s and Audio / Video Equipment
Computers / PCs / Laptops
Alarm Clocks

Not sure if your equipment can be safely controlled by the Power Switch?

Just ask: ask@getzooz.com

Plug the Power Switch into any standard grounded 110V receptacle. Do NOT connect any devices to the plug at this point. Press and release the Z-Wave button and make sure the LED indicator goes on as well – this confirms the surge protector is active.

Q: I pressed the Z-Wave button but the LED did not light up. What should I do?
A: If you just purchased your device and the LED indicator never turned on, please try plugging the device into a different receptacle to verify it’s not a grounding issue and try pressing the Z-Wave button a few times quickly. If the LED still does not turn on, contact the reseller or Zooz directly: ask@getzooz.com

Use the Z-Wave button to turn the lamp or appliance on and off manually. The plug is off when the LED indicator is lit up in pink.

WIRELESS CONTROL

Please include the Power Switch to your network BEFORE connecting it to the appliance you wish to control.
Auto Z-Wave Inclusion

Put your Z-Wave controller into inclusion mode
Plug the Power Switch into a grounded receptacle located within direct range from your Z-Wave gateway controller
The LED indicator will start flashing blue, then turn blue (on) or pink (off) once included
A new on / off device will be recognized by your Z-Wave controller

Manual Z-Wave Inclusion

Plug the Power Switch into a grounded receptacle located within direct range from your Z-Wave gateway controller
Put your Z-Wave controller into inclusion mode
Press and release the Z-Wave button 3 TIMES QUICKLY
The LED indicator will start flashing blue, then turn blue (on) or pink (off) once included
A new on / off device will be recognized by your Z-Wave controller

Secure Z-Wave Inclusion

Plug the Power Switch into a grounded receptacle located within direct range from your Z-Wave gateway controller
Put your Z-Wave controller in secure inclusion mode
Press and HOLD the Z-Wave button for at least 3 seconds
The LED indicator will start flashing green, then turn blue (on) or pink (off) once included
A new secure on / off device will be recognized by your Z-Wave controller

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS:

If you are unable to include the Z-Wave Power Switch to your controller, please try one of the following:

Bring the Power Switch closer to your Z-Wave controller
Once you put the controller into inclusion mode, press and release the Z-Wave button quickly more than 3 times to ensure the command has gone through
Put your controller into EXCLUSION mode. Press and release the Z-Wave button quickly 3 times, and then try adding it to your network again
If you are trying to include the Power Switch as a secure device, please make sure your controller supports AES signal encryption

Z-WAVE EXCLUSION

Plug the Power Switch into a grounded receptacle located within direct range of your Z-Wave gateway controller
Put your Z-Wave controller into exclusion mode
Press and release the Z-Wave button 3 TIMES QUICKLY
The LED indicator will start flashing orange, then turn blue (on) or pink (off) once excluded
The Power Switch will disappear from your controller’s device list. The LED indicator will remain solid orange for a few seconds to indicate exclusion

If the first attempt is unsuccessful, please repeat the process following all steps carefully.

FACTORY RESET

When your network’s primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings manually. In order to complete the process, plug the Power Switch into a grounded receptacle, then PRESS AND HOLD the Z-Wave button for AT LEAST 20 SECONDS. The LED indicator will flash orange and then stay solid orange for 2 seconds to indicate successful reset. The Power Switch will then turn off.

NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased from the device’s memory. You may only reset your Power Switch once it has been in-cluded to a Z-Wave network.

ASSOCIATION

Depending on your Z-Wave gateway’s home automation software capabilities, you may be able to associate your Power Switch in groups with other Z-Wave devices to schedule scenes and create events. This Power Switch supports Group 1 with up to five devices for lifeline communication. This device will send BASIC REPORT to Group 1 when operated manually.

LED NOTIFICATIONS

The LED indicator on your Power Switch will visually report power consumption and network range.

How to read LED indicator colors?

Pink = Power Switch is off
Blue = 0 – 300 W
Cyan = 300 – 600 W
Green = 600 – 900 W
Yellow = 900 – 1200 W
Red = 1200 – 1500 W
Purple = 1500 – 1800 W
Purple blink = over 1800 W

LED Indicator Control

Parameter 27: You can choose how the LED indicator displays power consumption on the Power Switch

Values: 0 – LED indicator will display power consumption whenever the device is plugged in (LED stays on at all times – default setting); 1 – LED indicator will display the level of power consumption for 5 seconds only whenever the device is turned on or off (LED indicator will stay off for most of the time).

Size: 1 byte dec.

How to test Z-Wave network range for my Power Switch?
You can easily check if the Power Switch is within your Z-Wave controller’s range:
Press and hold the Z-Wave button for 6 to 9 seconds until the LED indicator turns violet. The LED indicator will then report signal strength.

Flashing green = direct communication with the primary controller is established and still being diagnosed
Solid green for 2 seconds = direct communication with the primary controller is stable
Flashing orange = direct communication with the primary controller is intermittent and being diagnosed
Solid orange = communication quality is fair
Solid red = communication with the primary controller has failed

Press and release the Z-Wave button to exit testing mode.

This function may only be activated once the Power Switch has been included to a Z-Wave network.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

If your controller’s software allows for advanced configuration and parameter adjustment, you will be able to change and save the settings below and customize the Power Switch to serve your needs. Please refer to your controller’s user guide for advanced programming instructions as they are a little different for each software.

Overload Protection

Parameter 20: Overload protection will turn the Power Switch relay off once power exceeds 16.5A for over 5 seconds when this setting is enabled. We DO NOT recommend changing this parameter’s value as it may result in device damage and malfunction.

Values: 0 – Disabled; 1 – Enabled (default).

Size: 1 byte dec.

On/Off Status Recovery After Power Failure

Parameter 21: Choose the recovery state for your Power Switch if power outage occurs.
