Aeotec by Aeon Labs Smart Switch 6.

Aeotec Smart Switch 6 is a low-cost Z-Wave Switch plug-in® module specifically used to enable Z-Wave command and control (on/off) of any plug-in tool. It can report immediate wattage consumption or kWh energy usage over a period of time. In the event of power failure, non-volatile memory retains all programmed information relating to the unit’s operating status.
Its surface has a Smart RGB LED, which can be used for indicating the output load status or strength of the wireless signal. You can configure its indication colour according to your favour.
The Smart Switch is also a security Z-wave device and supports the Over The Air (OTA) feature for the products firmware upgrade.

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 tell you how to add your Plug to your Z-Wave network via Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick or Minimote controller. If you are using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, such as a ZWave gateway, please refer to the part of their respective manual that tells you how to add new devices to your network.

  2. If your Z-Stick is plugged into a gateway or a computer, unplug it.
  3. Take your Z-Stick to your Plug.
  4. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick.
  5. Press the Action Button on your Plug.
  6. If Plug has been successfully added to your Z-Wave network, its RGB LED will be solid. If the adding was unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for 2 seconds and then remain colourful gradient status, repeat the instructions from step 4. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to take it out of inclusion mode and then return it to your gateway or computer.

If you’re using a Minimote:

  6. Press any button on your Minimote to take it out of inclusion mode.

With your Smart Switch now working as a part of your smart home, you’ll be able to configure it from your home control software. Please refer to your software’s user guide for precise instructions on configuring Plug to your needs.
The colour of RGB LED will change according to the output load power level when it is in Energy mode:

Version LED indication Output (W)
US Green [0W, 900W)
Yellow [900W, 1600W)
Red [1600W, 2000W)
AU Green [0W, 1000W)
Yellow [1000W, 2000W)
Red [2000W, 2500W)
EU Green [0W, 1500W)
Yellow [1500W, 2500W)
Red [2500W, 3000W)

You can also configure the brightness of RGB LED when the Smart Switch is in Energy mode, Momentary Indicate mode, or Night Light mode.

Removing your Plug 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 and the following instructions will tell you how to do this using Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick or Minimote controller. If you are using other products as your main Z-Wave controller, please refer to the part of their respective manuals that tells you how to remove devices from your network.
If you’re using a Z-Stick:

  2. Take your Z-Stick to your Plug.
  3. Press the Action Button on your Z-Stick.
  4. Press the Action Button on your Plug.
  5. If your Plug has been successfully removed from your network, its RGB LED will remain in colourful gradient status. If the removal was unsuccessful, the RGB LED will still be solid (Energy mode state when the output is on or Night light mode state when the output load is off), repeat the instructions from step 3.
  6. Press the Action Button on the Z-Stick to take it out of removal mode.

If you’re using a Minimote:

  1. Take your Minimote to your Smart Switch.
  2. Press the Remove Button on your Minimote.
  3. Press the Action Button on your Smart Switch.
  4. If your Plug has been successfully removed from your network, its RGB LED will remain the colourful gradient status. If the removal was unsuccessful, the RGB LED will still be solid (Energy mode state when the output is on or Night light mode state when the output load is off), repeat the instructions from step 2.
  5. Press any button on your Minimote to take it out of removal mode.

Advanced functions.

Changing LED mode.
You can change the mode of how the LED acts by configuring the Smart Switch. There are 3 different modes: Energy mode, Momentary indicate mode and  Night light mode.
Energy mode will allow the LED to follow the state of the Smart Switch, when the switch is on, the LED will be on, and while the switch is off, the current colour LED will be off and then remain the purple colour of 10% brightness. Momentary indicate mode will momentarily turn the LED on for 5 seconds then turn off after every state change in the switch. Night light mode will allow the LED to be turned on and off during the selected time of day you have configured for it.
Parameter 81 [1-byte dec] can be set to:
(0) Energy Mode
(1) Momentary Indicate Mode
(2) Night Light Mode
♦ Security or Non-security feature of your Smart Switch in Z-wave network.

Including Smart Switch as a non-secure device:
If you want your Smart Switch to be a non-security device in your Z-wave network, you need to press the Action Button once on Plug when you use a controller/gateway to add/include your Plug. If the inclusion is successful, the green LED will be on for 2 seconds and then return to Energy mode state when the output load is on the state (the RGB LED remains solid) or Night light mode state when the output load is off state (the RGB LED remains solid with 10% brightness of purple colour). If the inclusion is unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for 2 seconds and then remain the colourful gradient status.

Including Smart Switch as a secure device:
In order to take full advantage of all functionality of the Plug, you may want your Plug is a security device that uses secure/encrypted messages to communicate in your Z-wave network, so a security-enabled controller/ gateway is needed and then you need to press the Plug’s Action Button 2 times within 1 second when your security controller/gateway starts the network inclusion. If the inclusion is successful, the blue LED will be on for 2 seconds and then return to  Energy mode state when the output load is on the state (the RGB LED remains solid) or Night light mode state when the output load is off state (the RGB  LED remains solid with10% brightness of purple colour). If the inclusion is unsuccessful, the red LED will be on for 2 seconds and then remain the colourful gradient status.

Reset your Smart Switch
If at some stage, your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may wish to reset all of your Oomi Plug’s settings to their factory defaults. To do this,  press and hold the Action Button for 20 seconds and then release it. Your Oomi Plug will now be reset to its original settings and the green LED will be solid for 2 seconds and then remain the colourful gradient status as a confirmation.
