Insert switch into the switch box being careful not to pinch or crush wires.
-
Switch must be independently mounted (vertical position only).
-
Secure the switch to the box using the supplied screws.

- Once the controller is ready to add your device, press the top or bottom of the wireless smart switch (rocker).
Now you have complete control to turn your fixture
ON/OFF according to groups, scenes, schedules and interactive automations programmed by your controller.
If your Z-Wave certified controller features remote access, you can control your fixture from your mobile devices.
If prompted by the controller to enter the S2 security code, refer to the QR code/security number on the side of the box or the QR code label on the product (see Figure 1). Enter the 5-digit code.
TO REMOVE AND RESET THE DEVICE

- Once the controller is ready to remove your device, press the top or bottom of the wireless smart switch (rocker).
TO RETURN YOUR SWITCH TO FACTORY DEFAULTS
- Quickly press ON (top) button three times then immediately press the OFF (bottom) button three times. The LED will flash ON/OFF five times when completed successfully.
NOTE: This should only be used if your network’s primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
TO CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE PADDLE
This step is optional. Before installation, you may want to change the color of the paddle to match your wallplate or décor.
- Lift the air gap tab at the base of the paddle.
- Push side tabs in on one side and then the other to release paddle. Lift the cover up and off.
- Simply put the new paddle onto the switch by inserting the air gap and side tabs and snapping securely into place.
Once this step has been completed, please return to section 3.
The GE-branded Add-on Switch is required for multi-switch 3-way or 4-way installations.
Connecting the traveler terminal of this switch to a standard, non-GE-branded switch will cause damage or result in improper function. If this switch is a part of a 3-way or 4-way multi-switch installation, do not connect the traveler wire or apply power until GE-branded Add-on Switches are correctly installed. For more information on 3-way or 4-way installations, view the manual or quick-start guide with the GE-branded Add-on Switch.
FAQs
Does this switch require Neutral connection?
Yes, it does.
Can this be configured for non-dimmable loads? I have non-dimmable led lights, I want on/off only, no dimming.
Yes, this is not a dimming switch.
what is the smart hub, does it work with just Alexa or do we need some hub too?
Z-Wave devices like this require a Z-Wave certified hub like SmartThings or Wink to name a couple. Alexa is the voice control on echo products, however there are no echo products that have Z-Wave built in. Certain Echo products have a built in Zigbee smart hub that will control Zigbee products directly without another hub.
What all is included in the box?
I’m not entirely sure on the full context of your question but if your z wave network reaches the garage, it will work. Mine is in a separate building and still works but I have repeaters to get there.
Is this gloss or matte black?
it is a Gloss finish.
I have a Z-Wave light switch; how do I pair it?
Pressing the ON/OFF button once enters pairing mode on your Z-Wave Plus device. To complete the inclusion procedure, adhere to the directions displayed on the screen.
How can my Enbrighten Z-Wave switch be reset?
Press the ON (up) button three times quickly followed by three quick presses of the OFF (down) button. Note: Only use this if your network’s principal controller is missing or otherwise not functional.
Is a Z-Wave switch usable without a hub?
Yes, a Z-Wave Certified hub is necessary to make schedules and manage remotely outside the home, something a portable Z-Wave controller cannot accomplish, in order to get the most out of your Z-Wave device. Visit our Z-Wave page to learn more about compatible hubs.
I need to restart my smart switch.
To start the app-config procedure, press and hold the reset button for 5 seconds or until the Wi-Fi LED blinks amber and green.
What causes my smart light switch to malfunction?
Incompatible Wi-Fi is one of the most frequent causes of switches failing. Many more recent routers default to using a 5 GHz signal, therefore some older 2.4 GHz switches won’t connect following a router upgrade.
Why won’t my LED light switch turn on?
The cause of a switch circuit that isn’t working properly could be a fuse or breaker that has tripped. Find the breaker or fuse at the electrical service panel.
Why are my smart lights unable to connect?
A 2.4 GHz network must be present for Wi-Fi to work. A 5 GHz network will not permit a connection from the Smart Wi-Fi Light. Verify that your phone is not running a VPN program in the background if your Smart Wi-Fi Light is already operating at the correct frequency.
Does smart lighting function without Wi-Fi?
Your smart light switches must be connected to Wi-Fi in order to operate. Therefore, you will discover that functioning has been impaired if the Wi-Fi is lost. You won’t be able to adjust the brightness or level of the lights or operate the fans using your smart hub.
Is Z-Wave Plus the same as Z-Wave?
In essence, Z-Wave Plus is basically an upgrade of Z-Wave. Devices are granted this certification if they successfully make use of the Gen 5 (or new features) of Z-Wave.
Internet access is required for Z-Wave?
Without internet, the simplest networks (a remote and a few Z-Wave bulbs or plug-in modules) will function. Without an internet connection, the majority of Z-Wave Gateways are unable to communicate with Z-Wave devices.
