Short Description
If SW (SW1) is configured as a switch (default), each toggle changes the output O (O1) state to the opposite — on → off → on → etc.
If SW (SW1) is configured as a push-button in the device settings, each press toggles the output O (O1) state — on → off → on → etc.
Switch Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
When configured as a switch (default):
- Toggle once: Changes the output O (O1) state to the opposite and sends a command to associated devices in groups 2 and 3.
(See: Z-Wave Association)
Switch-Memory Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
When configured as a switch-memory:
- Close contact: Output O (O1) turns ON → sends command to devices in groups 2 and 3.
- Open contact: Output O (O1) turns OFF → sends command to devices in groups 2 and 3.
(See: Z-Wave Association)
Push-Button Connected to Input Terminal SW (SW1)
When configured as a push-button:
- 1x click: Toggles output O (O1) state; sends command to devices in groups 2 and 3.
- 2x click (within 500ms): Interpreted as a double click → sends command to associated devices (dimmers, shutters, etc.) in groups 2 and 3.
- Hold: Sends command to devices in group 3.
- Release: Sends command to devices in group 3.
(See: Z-Wave Association)

Z-Wave® Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports Security 2 (S2) using AES-128 encryption, making Z-Wave one of the most secure IoT platforms.
- Authenticated Control supported
- Out-of-Band DSK for inclusion
- Supports S2 Authenticated, Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion
🔐 When adding via S2-enabled gateway, you must provide the 5-digit PIN from the DSK label on the device or inside packaging.
🖼️ The DSK label includes a QR code for easy scanning.
✅ First five digits are highlighted/underlined for easy identification.
🛡️ Joining node obfuscates its public key by setting bytes 1–2 to zero before RF transmission.
🔍 The gateway can scan the QR code to match the obfuscated public key received via RF.
