CAUTION
This is an electrical device – please use caution when installing and
operating the RGBW Dimmer. Remote control of appliances and lighting fixtures
may result in unintentional or automated activation of power.
Do not use this Z-Wave device to control electric heaters or other appliances
which produce the risk of fire, burns, or electrical shock when unattended. To
reduce risk of overheating and possible damage to other equipment, do NOT
install this unit to control a receptacle; a motor-operated appliance; a 120
VAC lighting fixture; or any load powered by AC voltage.
INSTALLATION
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
Small flat screwdriver 3-wire romex or old 3-wire plug to power the adapter
6 x 16 AWG jumpers to connect everything together
12 or 24 V DC power adapter
12 or 24 V DC LED strip which draws less than 120 W total at 12 V DC (or 240 W
total at 24 V DC)
BEFORE YOU INSTALL
This RGBW dimmer is intended for installation in accordance with the National Electric Code and local regulations. It is recommended that a licensed electrician perform this installation.
WIRING: READ IT!
1. CHECK THE LOAD: Low voltage lights only (120 W total at 12 V DC or 240 W total at 24 V DC), DON’T CONNECT THIS RGBW DIMMER TO 120 VAC LIGHTS!
2. POWER OFF: Turn the circuit power off in the breaker panel before you start if you’re working with an electrical box or unplug the power supply from the receptacle if you’re working with a plug-in adapter.
3. CHECK THE WIRES: If using a plug-free power adapter, you’ll need to connect it to line, neutral, and ground as indicated in the instructions for the device. Please make sure you identified all of these wires on your source romex cable or plug cable.
- NEUTRAL (usually white)
- LINE (usually black)
- GROUND (usually bare)
4. CONNECT THE POWER ADAPTER: If using a plug-free power adapter, make the connections from the 120 V AC power source to the appropriate line, neutral, and ground terminals on the power adapter. If using a plug-in power supply, skip this step.
5. CONNECT THE RGBW DIMMER: Use 2 16 AWG jumper wires to connect the RGBW dimmer to the power adapter. Connect the “+” low voltage terminal on the power supply with the “(+) 12/24 VDC” terminal on the RGBW Dimmer, and the “-” low voltage terminal on the power supply with the “(-) GND” terminal on the RGBW Dimmer.
6. CONNECT THE RGBW LED STRIP: Connect the red, green, blue, and white wires from the LED strip with the R G B W terminals on the Dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the power (usually black) wire from the LED strip with connections to the (+) 12/24 VDC terminal on the RGBW Dimmer and the “+” low voltage terminal on the power supply.
7. CONNECT THE WALL SWITCH (OPTIONAL): Connect one of the terminals / screws on the wall switch with the IN3 terminal on the RGBW Dimmer. Use a wire nut to connect the other terminal / screw on the wall switch with connections to the (-) GND terminal on the RGBW Dimmer and the “-” low voltage terminal on the power supply. Do NOT power the wall switch with 120 VAC! The RGBW Dimmer can be connected to regular on/off switches or momentary push-button switches (to enable dimming from the switch).
8. REVIEW ALL CONNECTIONS: Please verify that you’ve identified all wires and terminals correctly before restoring power to the adapter and testing the set-up. Make sure that a 24 V DC LED strip is powered by a 24 V DC power supply.

Z-WAVE CONTROL
1. ADD DEVICE to your hub
Initiate inclusion (pairing) in the app (or web Interface). Not sure how? ask@getzooz.com If you’re using Smart Start on an S2 hub, it may ask you to enter the DSK key printed on the back cover sticker or scan the QR code next to it to complete secure inclusion.
2. ACTIVATE the dimmer
Make sure the RGBW Dimmer is powered up. Click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly to include the device. The LED will blink yellow to indicate communication with the hub. It will blink green (for non-secure, S0, or S2 unauthenticated inclusion) or magenta (for S2 authenticated) once the device is successfully included to your network. It will blink red if inclusion is not successful.
Get step-by-step instructions for adding the RGBW Dimmer to SmartThings, Vera, and other hubs at www.support.getzooz.com
HOW IT WORKS
We recommend using the RGBW Dimmer in HSB mode (see Parameter 150) with a momentary wall switch (such as our ZAC99 accessory switch) connected to the IN3 terminal for best experience. Click it once to turn the light on (to the last color and brightness setting) or off. Click the switch 2 times quickly to go to full brightness. Press and hold to dim the light. See advanced settings for scene control options.
TROUBLESHOOTING
The RGBW dimmer won’t add to your system? Try this:
- Initiate EXCLUSION and click the Z-Wave button 3 times quickly.
- Click the Z-Wave button 4-5 times quickly when adding the device.
- Bring the gateway controller (hub) closer to the device, it may be out of range.
- Get troubleshooting tips for your hub at www.support.getzooz.com
EXCLUSION (REMOVING / UNPAIRING DEVICE)
- Bring your Z-Wave gateway (hub) close to the RGBW Dimmer if possible
- Put the Z-Wave hub into exclusion mode (not sure how to do that? ask@getzooz.com)
- Click the Z-Wave button on the device 3 times quickly
- Your hub will confirm exclusion, the LED indicator on the RGBW Dimmer will light up in red, and the device will disappear from your controller’s device list
FACTORY RESET
If your primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the
device to factory settings. To complete the reset process manually, press
and hold the Z-Wave button to enter reset mode. Release the button when
the LED indicator glows yellow. Then quickly click the Z-Wave button
again to confirm factory reset. Wait a few seconds until the device resets
and restarts the LED indicator will light up in red when it’s ready.
NOTE: All previously recorded activity and custom settings will be erased from
the device’s memory.
To reset the kWh energy use meter press and hold the Z-Wave button to
enter reset mode. Release the button when the LED indicator glows
green. Then quickly click the Z-Wave button again to confirm the
reset.
ADVANCED SETTINGS
Please refer to your controller’s user guide for advanced programming
instructions as they are a little different for every software.

consumption every hour. Power reports are sent in at least 30-second
intervals.
Values: 0 - disabled (it will not report power consumption based on the
frequency setting); 30 - 32400 (seconds); default: 3600
Size: 2 byte dec.

Energy Report Frequency
Parameter 66: Choose how o en you want your RGBW Dimmer to report energy (kWh)
to your controller. The number entered as value corresponds to the number of
seconds. So if 3600 is entered by default, the RGBW Dimmer will report energy
use every hour (independent of the threshold set in parameter 65). Energy
reports are sent in at least 30-second intervals.
Values: 0 - disabled (it will not report energy use based on the frequency
setting); 30 - 32400 (seconds); default: 3600.
Size: 2 byte dec.
