Short Description
If the SW (SW1) is configured as a switch (default), each toggle of the switch will change the output O (O1) state to the opposite state — on, off, on, etc. If the SW (SW1) is configured as a push-button in the Device settings, each press of the push-button will change the output O (O1) state to the opposite state — on, off, on, etc.
Switch Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
If the SW (SW1) is configured as a switch (default):
- Change switch position once: Change the state of the output O (O1) to the opposite state and send the command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3 (see Z-Wave Association).
Switch-Memory Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
If the SW (SW1) is configured as a switch-memory:
- Switching to Close switch-memory contact: Change the output O (O1) state to On and send command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3.
- Switching to Open switch-memory contact: Change the output O (O1) state to Off and send command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3.
Push-Button Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
If the SW (SW1) is configured as a push-button in the Device settings:
- 1x click: Change the state of O (O1) to the opposite and send command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3.
- 2x click: If the delay between first and second click is less than 500ms, it is interpreted as a double click. Send command to associated devices (dimmers, shutters, etc.) in groups 2 and 3.
- Hold: Send command to associated devices in group 3.
- Release: Send command to associated devices in group 3.
Main Applications

About Z-Wave®
Adding the Device to a Z-Wave® Network (Inclusion)
Note! All device outputs (O, O1, O2, etc.) will briefly turn load ON/OFF for 1 second if the device is successfully added/removed.
Note! For Security 2 (S2) inclusion, a dialog will prompt you to enter the 5-digit PIN code printed on the Z-Wave® DSK label (on the device and packaging).
IMPORTANT: Do not lose the PIN code.
SmartStart Inclusion
SmartStart-enabled products can be added by scanning the QR code on the device using a compatible gateway.
- Scan the QR code on the device label and add the DSK to the gateway’s provisioning list.
- Connect the device to power.
- Check if the blue LED is blinking in Mode 1 (device not yet added).
- The device will auto-add within seconds.

- Blue LED blinks in Mode 1 if successful.
Remotely via Parameter (Gateway)
Factory reset can be triggered remotely by setting Parameter No. 120 = 1.
Z-Wave® Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports Security 2 (S2) using Strong AES 128 Encryption, making Z-Wave one of the most secure IoT platforms.
- Authenticated Control
- Out-of-band DSK for inclusion
- Compatible with most implementations
Supports S2 Authenticated, Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion.
Note: When adding via S2-enabled gateway, the DSK PIN (first 5 digits) is required. Found on the DSK label on the device and in packaging. Do not remove the label.
The first five digits are highlighted/underlined. DSK also includes a QR code.
Joining nodes obfuscate their public key by setting bytes 1–2 to zero (0x00) before RF transfer.
DSK may be used for out-of-band (OOB) authentication:
- Gateway scans QR code to read full DSK and matches with obfuscated key received via RF.
