IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
To avoid contact with electrical current:
Never install an Ethernet connection in wet locations unless that connector is
specifically designed for wet locations.
Do not place Ethernet wiring or connections in any conduit, outlet or junction box
containing electrical wiring.
Installation of inside wire may bring you close to electrical wire, conduit, terminals
and other electrical facilities. Extreme caution must be used to avoid electrical
shock from such facilities. Avoid contact with all such facilities.
Ethernet wiring must be at least 2 m from bare power wiring or lightning rods and
associated wires, and at least 15 cm from other wire (antenna wires, doorbell
wires, wires from transformers to neon signs), steam or hot water pipes, and
heating ducts.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
When operated according to manufacturer instructions, the product complies with
all applicable CE harmonised standards from EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and Part
15 of the FCC Rules. The connections conducting HF signals must not be damaged or
altered in any way by the user.

Thank you for purchasing Zipamini. This guide describes how to install, program
and operate your Zipamini. Zipamini makes every home smart by using advanced
technology to hide the complexity of home networking - delivering a simple
smart home. It plugs into any outlet in the home and automatically talks to all the
connected devices in the house, connecting them to the cloud so that consumers
can control them using tablets, smart phones, computers or TVs— at home or
on the go. The Zipamini Gateway supports a variety of communication standards
including Z-WAVE, ONVIF and IP.
Once configured, the gateway works stand-alone, but also features cloud support
for advanced monitoring, messaging and programming services.
Intuitive graphical user interface allows customers to program their own home
rules without any previous programming experience.

ADDING NEW ZWAVE DEVICES
Before adding new device, it is recommended to bring device closer to Zipamini, so
that no obstacle can interfere with operating range of device. Recommended distance
between sensors and Zipamini is less than one meter. Read device instructions
regarding inclusion/join mode. Device in inclusion/join mode is awake and ready for
joining in to Zipato network. Always reset device before adding it to the network.
Device reset deletes any information about prior controller that was stored in
device. At the end of joining or removing session it is recommended to synchronize
everything and refresh Zipato Control Center.
01 | On Zipato dashboard, go to the “General” options and in “Device manager” click
“Add new device” button and follow wizard instructions.
02 | After you successfully add the device into your Zipato network go to “General”,
select “Device manager”, click on the Network protocol of this device (e.g. Z-Wave) and
set your device’s room name and type. This will help you to easier control your device.
REMOVING DEVICES

Waiting for more than a five minutes and still there is no green LED light.
01 | Check your Internet connection

I forgot my password
01 | Go to my.zipato.com
02 | Click “Forgot password” and follow screen instruction.
I have placed a device outside my house and it is not communicating with the
Zipamini. What’s happening?
If you have a lot of metal in the exterior construction of your home, this could
significantly impede wireless communication. Metal is an insulator of radio signals. If
your house has metal siding or a stucco finish over a metal mesh, you may have range
problems on devices outside your home communicating with the Zipamini inside.
What should I do if I am having trouble installing my device?
If you are having difficulty with the physical installation of non-Zipato branded
devices (Thermostats, GE switches, Blueline meter reader, etc.), please contact the
manufacturer directly for assistance. If you are having trouble pairing a device to the
