Short Description
The device is a 4-digital inputs module (5–24 V DC) that controls other devices within the Z-Wave network. It enables manual activation or deactivation of scenes through a switch/push-button.
Switch/Push-button Connected to Input Terminal SW1
The device supports Central Scene Command Class. When a button is single-pressed, double-pressed, held and released, it transmits a scene notification with scene number (1, 2, 3, or 4).
NOTE: Switch type is not supported for triggering central scene notifications.
Push-button connected to input terminal SW1
If SW1 is configured as a push-button:
- Scene number =
0x01
Actions:
- Short press: Central scene notification “Key pressed 1 time=0x00” with scene number
0x01is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 4 (see Z-Wave Association). - 2x Short press: Central scene notification “Key pressed 2 times=0x00” is sent.
- Press and hold: Central scene notification “Key held down = 0x02” is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 5.
- Release: Central scene notification “Key released = 0x01” is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 5.
If SW1 is configured as a switch:
- Change switch position once: Sends command to associated devices in groups 4 and 5.
If SW1 is configured as a switch-memory:
- Switching to Close contact: Sends command to associated devices in groups 4 and 5 based on switch state.
- Switching to Open contact: Sends command to associated devices in groups 4 and 5 based on switch state.
Switch/Push-button Connected to Input Terminal SW2
If SW2 is configured as a push-button:
- Scene number =
0x02
Actions:

0x02is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 6. - 2x Short press: Central scene notification “Key pressed 2 times=0x00” is sent.
- Press and hold: Central scene notification “Key held down = 0x02” is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 7.
- Release: Central scene notification “Key released = 0x01” is sent, and sends command to associated devices in group 7.
If SW2 is configured as a switch:
- Change switch position once: Sends command to associated devices in groups 6 and 7.
If SW2 is configured as a switch-memory:
- Switching to Close contact: Sends command to associated devices in groups 6 and 7 based on switch state.

About Z-Wave
Adding the Device to a Z-Wave® Network (Inclusion)
Note! The blind connected to the device will move 2s up/down if the device is successfully added/removed from a Z-Wave® network.
Note! For Security 2 (S2) inclusion, a dialog will appear asking you to enter the 5-digit PIN code written on the Z-Wave® DSK label on the side of the device and in the packaging.
IMPORTANT: The PIN code must not be lost.
SmartStart Inclusion
SmartStart-enabled products can be added by scanning the Z-Wave® QR code on the device with a gateway supporting SmartStart. No further action required — the device adds automatically within 10 minutes of being powered on in range.
- Scan the QR code on the device label using the gateway app.
- Add the Security 2 (S2) Device Specific Key (DSK) to the provisioning list.
- Connect the device to power.
- Check if the blue LED is blinking slowly — if yes, the device is not yet added.
- Adding starts automatically within seconds after power-up.
- Blue LED blinks faster during addition.
- Green LED blinks slowly if successful.
Adding with the S Button
- Connect device to power.
- Confirm blue LED is blinking slowly (not added).
- Enable add/remove mode on the gateway.
- Press and hold S button until LED turns solid blue.
- Release quickly, then press and hold (>2s) until blue LED blinks slowly — release to start Learn mode.
- Blue LED blinks faster during addition.
- Green LED blinks slowly upon success.
Note: In Setting mode, the device times out after 10 seconds and returns to Normal mode.
Adding with a Switch/Push-button
- Connect device to power.
- Confirm blue LED is blinking slowly.
- Enable add/remove mode on the gateway.
- Toggle the switch/push-button connected to any SW terminal (SW1–SW4) 3 times within 3 seconds (puts device in Learn mode).
- Blue LED blinks faster during addition.
- Green LED blinks slowly upon success.
Learn mode – a state allowing the device to receive network information from the gateway.
Removing the Device from a Z-Wave® Network (Exclusion)
Note! The device will be removed from your Z-Wave® network, but custom configurations remain intact.
Note! The blind will move 2s up/down upon successful removal.
Removing with the S Button
- Connect device to power.
- Confirm green LED is blinking slowly (device is added).
- Enable add/remove mode on the gateway.
- Press and hold S button until LED turns solid blue.
- Release quickly, then press and hold (>2s) until blue LED blinks slowly — release to start Learn mode.
- Blue LED blinks faster during removal.
- Blue LED blinks slower upon success.
Note: Timeout of 10 seconds in Setting mode.
Removing with a Switch/Push-button
- Connect device to power.
- Confirm green LED is blinking slowly.
- Enable add/remove mode on the gateway.
- Toggle the switch/push-button on any SW terminal 3 times within 3 seconds.
- Blue LED blinks faster during removal.
- Blue LED blinks slower upon success.
Factory Reset
General
After factory reset, all custom parameters (kWh, associations, routing, etc.) return to defaults. HOME ID and NODE ID are deleted. Use only when gateway is missing or inoperable.
With S Button
- Press and hold S button until LED turns solid blue.
- Press S button multiple times until LED turns solid red.
- Press and hold (>2s) S button until red LED blinks faster — release to start reset.
- During reset: LED turns solid green (~1s), then blue and red blink fast (~2s).
- Blue LED blinks slower upon success.
With Switch/Push-button
Note: Only possible within first minute after power-up.
- Connect device to power.
- Toggle switch/push-button on any SW terminal 5 times within 3 seconds.
- During reset: LED turns solid green (~1s), then blue and red blink fast (~2s).
- Blue LED blinks slower upon success.
Z-Wave Security and Device Specific Key (DSK)
The device supports the latest Security 2 (S2) feature, using Strong AES-128 encryption — making Z-Wave® the most secure IoT platform.
- Authenticated Control
- Out-of-band DSK for inclusion
- Compatible with most implementations
The device also supports S2 Authenticated, Unauthenticated, and Unsecure inclusion.
Note: When adding via S2-enabled gateway, the DSK PIN code is required. It is printed on the DSK label on the device and included in packaging. Do not remove the label.
The first five digits are highlighted/underlined — these form the PIN code. The DSK is also represented via QR code.
DSK Label & QR Code (Example):
- Joining node obfuscates public key (bytes 1–2 set to zero) before RF transmission.
- DSK may be used for out-of-band (OOB) authentication.
- Gateway can scan QR code to match obfuscated key received via RF.
