How does an Aeotec Smart Switch 6 work?
It only takes a few seconds to connect your Smart Switch to a wall outlet and add it to your Z-Wave network to get it working. You can connect your Smart Switch to your Z-Wave network using an Aeotec Z-Stick or Minimote controller, or you can use standard instructions if you’re using an existing gateway or controller.
If you’re using an existing gateway:
- Switch to Z-Wave pair or integration mode on your gateway or controller.
- Your Switch will light a green LED once you press the Action Button.
- Your switch’s LED will turn solid green for two seconds if it has successfully connected to your network. The LED would switch back to a rainbow gradient if the connection failed.
You may now set your Smart Switch from your home control software because it is now a functional component of your smart home.
Advanced functions, changing LED mode:
By configuring Smart Switch, you can alter the mode in which the LED behaves. Energy mode, Momentary indication mode, and Night Light mode are the three available modes.
When the switch is on, the LED will be on, when the switch is off, the current color LED will be off. It will continue to be purple with a 10% brightness. Energy mode will enable the LED to follow the state of the Smart Switch. After each state change in the switch, the LED will briefly turn on for 5 seconds before turning off in the momentary indicate mode. The LED can be turned on and off during the time of day you have set in the night light mode.
