Smart Switch 7 is intended for indoor use in dry locations only. Do not use in damp, moist, and/or wet locations.
Max-amperage: 15 amps for ZW175-A
May-amperage: 10 amps for ZW175-C
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 will tell you how to add your Smart Switch to your Z-Wave network via Aeotec by Aeon Labs’ Z-Stick or
Minimote controller, and general instructions if using an existing gateway/controller.
If you are using other controllers as your main Z-Wave network, such as a Z-Wave gateway, please refer to the part of their
respective manual that tells you how to add new devices to your network.
If you're using an existing gateway that supports Smart Start:
1. Scan the QR code on Smart Switch 7 using your Z-Wave gateway/controllers app.
2. Plugin your Smart Switch 7 to any outlet that you wish to install it on.
3. Your Smart Switch 7 will automatically pair to your Z-Wave network.
If you're using an existing gateway that does not support Smart Start:
1. Set your Z-Wave Controller into its 'Add Device' mode.
Refer to the Controller's manual if you are unsure of how to perform this step.
2. Power your Smart Switch 7 to any outlet; its LED will flash blue and is ready to pair.
3. Click the Action Button 2 times within 3 second on Smart Switch 7 to pair it. After frist click the LED will change to red,
after second click the LED change to orange.
4. If your Z-Wave Controller supports S2 encryption, enter the first 5 digits of DSK into your Controller's interface if it is
requested. The DSK is printed on Smart Switch 7.
a. If pairing succeeds, it will become a bright blue light for 2 seconds.
b. If pairing fails, it will light a solid bright red light for 2 seconds and then return to a breathing blue light; repeat steps 1
to 4 if this happens.
Smart Switch 7 is now a part of your Z-Wave home control system. You can configure it and its automation via your Z-
Wave system; please refer to your software's user guide for precise instructions.
If further support is needed, please contact our support team for assistance.
Advanced functions.
Removing your Smart Switch 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 an existing gateway:
1. Set your Z-Wave Controller into 'Remove Device' / 'Unpair Device' mode.
Refer to the Controller's manual if you are unsure of how to perform this step.
2. Make sure the product is powered. If not, plug it into a wall socket and power it on.
3. Click Action Button 2 times quickly; it will bright violet light up to 2s.
a. If Removing fails, it will bright red light for 2 seconds and then turn back to Load Indicator Mode; repeat steps 1 to 3.
Contact us for further support if needed.
b. If Removing succeeds, it will become breathing blue light. Smart Switch 7 is removed from the Z-Wave network
successfully and is ready to be paired again.
Reset your Smart Switch 7.
If the primary controller is missing or inoperable, you may need to reset the device to factory settings.
Make sure the product is powered. If not, plug it into a wall socket and power on. To complete the reset process manually:
1. Press and hold the Action Button for at least 20 seconds and then release.
2. The LED indicator will fade its blue light in and out slowly, which indicates the reset operation is successful.

Byte value = 0x(Value 1)(Value 2)(Value 3)(Value 4)
Suggestion - use a "hexadecimal to decimal converter" that can be easily found on google.
For example:
If you want to set Night Light Mode to be enabled at 19:00 at night and disable at 07:30 in the morning, you just need to
configure:
Value1=0x13, Value2=0x00, Value3=0x07, Value4=0x1E.
Input 0x1300071E into a hexadecimal calculator, the output decimal value will be 318768926.
Parameter 91 - Watt threshold.
If Watt passes the threshold setting by + or -, a Watt report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0
Value Description
0 Disable Watt threshold.
1 - 2300 Watt threshold setting.
Parameter 92 - kWh threshold.
If kWh passes the threshold setting by + or -, a kWh report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 2 Byte
Default Setting = 0x0064 or 100
Value Description
0 Disable kWh threshold.
1 - 10000 kWh threshold setting.
Parameter 93 - Current threshold.
If current passes the threshold setting by + or -, a current report will be sent to update its value.
Size = 1 Byte
Default Setting = 0
Value Description
0 Disable Current threshold.
1 - 100 Current threshold setting
by scale of 0.1A
If value 10 is set, this is the equivalent of setting threshold to 1.0A.
Parameter 101 - Timed report enable/disable.
Sets what sensors should be reported at a timed interval. This can be used at the same time as threshold reporting to allow
both thresholds and timed reports to be used.
Size = 4 Byte
Default Setting = 0 (disabled)
Value Description
1 kWh (Accumulated Power)
2Watt (Power used at the
time of the report)
4 Current
8 Voltage
The values in the table above should be added together.
For example:
If you want kWh and Watt only, you would add 1 + 2 = 3.
If you want all values (current, voltage, watt, kWh) reported at an interval, you would add 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15.
