FOREWORD

The SwiidPlug
is designed to switch on and off remotely
appliances (mainly lights) which are plugged into its female
™
socket, The SwiidPlug
is suitable for the wireless switching of
incandescent light as well as halogen and LED lights (all
transformer types).
™
The SwiidPlug
can be operated manually by pressing on its
button which then acts as an on/off toggle switch and
FUNCTION
®
can be operated remotely and wirelessly by Z -Wave
.
™
The SwiidPlug
can also handle associations with other devices,
™
both ways to and from it. Thus, your SwiidPlug
can respond
®
directly to a signal from another Z-Wave
device in your network,
such as the triggering of a presence detector.
As soon as it has been plugged into a mains socket, the
™
SwiidPlug
can available to be configured for inclusion included
®
into a Z-Wave
network so to interoperate with controllers and
®
other Z-Wave
devices.

Installing the SwiidPlug
consists of plugging it into a grounded
wall socket and plugging into it the device you want to switch.
™
In order to configure the SwiidPlug
so that it can be controlled
wirelessly by a Z-Wave® controller, please follow instructions
provided in the next chapters of this manual.
INTEGRATION OF THE PLUG INTO THE

In order to control your SwiidPlug

recognized by a Z-Wave
network. Many people are put off by
the very use of the word "network", but it may in fact designate a
single remote control or wireless switch coupled with a single
adapter plug. The important thing to remember is that your
™
SwiidPlug
needs to be recognized by any device by which you
intend to control it (you can't call your dog, if you don't know its
name).
To do this, an inclusion operation needs to be
performed: this is also often called integration or a pairing
operation.

When you first plug your SwiidPlug
LED will flash alternatively green and red to indicate that it has

not yet been included into a Z-Wave

or solid red, this means your SwiidPlug
may have been included into another Z-Wave network
will need to run an exclusion process (see next Chapter) before
including it into your own network.

In order to include a SwiidPlug
into a Z-Wave

1.
First put your primary

pressing once or
several times on an

seconds and the LED will
stop flashing. Now, your

Depending on the type of controller you are using, you may be
immediately able to operate your SwiidPlug
network. For some controllers, however, you need to perform an
additional pairing step in order to assign your SwiidPlug
specific command button on the controller (e.g. on a multi-button
remote control).
Once you are able to operate your SwiidPlug
®
your Z-Wave
network, you are able to check that the
LED lights up to illuminate the
on or off. You can also check that your SwiidPlug
respond to a manual press locally on the

SwiidPlug
is not able - for patent reasons - to report back
its status changes automatically to a Z -Wave
The best way to monitor the change in status of your
™
SwiidPlug
in real-time is to use the "association"
procedure to associate it with a "virtual" Z-Wave
which you will create on your primary controller and then to
track the status of that "virtual" device. This works both

EXCLUSION OF THE PLUG
To exclude your SwiidPlug
in the same way as for the integration/inclusion previously
described in the previous, except that in step 1, you must press
into the active mains, the

In a Z-Wave

SwiidPlug
to control directly other Z-Wave

without passing through a controller. A typical example would
be the association of a Z-Wave
SwiiD™ adapter plug, so that your SwiidPlug
a presence is detected.
Associations are obviously only possible between devices which
are part of the same Z-Wave
generally been included using the same (primary)
Associations are unidirectional (one-way) from a first node (the
"primary" node") which issues a message to the second node
(the "secondary" node) which receives the message and
executes a corresponding pre-agreed action. It is possible to
have bi-directional (reciprocal) associations, but in order to
achieve this, it is necessary to create two separate associations :
one from A to B and a second one from B to A.

A primary node can be associated with more than one secondary
nodes, the maximum number of which depends on the
(SwiiD to provide)
characteristics of the primary node device. This is known as a
"group" association. Alternatively, a secondary node can receive
and execute commands from any number of primary nodes with
which it has been associated.

set out by the controller's manufacturer.

a full minute.

WARNING: When your SwiidPlug
is sending a command to
one or more associated devices and receives at the same
time an instruction to issue a new command, the original
broadcast is interrupted and the new command is
immediately issued.
RESETTING THE PLUG

To reset your SwiidPlug
to its factory settings (erasing the
Home ID of the network's primary controller), press and hold the

button of your SwiidPlug
for about five (5) seconds

ADVANCED SETTINGS
™
Your SwiidPlug
offers a range of advanced configuration
options. Changing these configuration options requires the use
®
of one or other of the more sophisticated Z-Wave
controllers
®
(usually Z-Wave
IP gateways).

WHAT IS Z-WAVE
?
®
®
Z-Wave
is a bidirectional communication protocol designed
specifically for controlling, operating, measuring and monitoring
home automation equipment via radio frequency: lighting,
heating, security, etc.
®
The Z-Wave
protocol utilizes an optimized radio technology for
narrow bandwidth radio communications (9-100 kbps).
®
Europe, Z-Wave
devices operate in the 868.4 MHz band, which
ensures the absence of any interference with the WiFi
connections or with other wireless receivers operating in 2.4 GHz
®
such as Bluetooth or ZigBee
. Please note: For legal reasons,
®
the Z-Wave
devices function in different frequencies - all below
1GHz - in other parts of the world, e.g. 909 MHz in the US.
®
Therefore, the Z-Wave
devices from these other geographic
zones can generally not be used in Europe.
®
The range of the Z-Wave
signal is approximately 50m (higher
®
outdoors and lower indoors). However, the Z-Wave
technology
automatically and dynamically creates a "mesh network"
®
between the various Z -Wave
devices that compose it and each
of these devices becomes itself a repeater. This increases the
reach and reliability of radio signals being transmitted in the Z-
®
Wave
network and enables connections between devices that
are not within direct range of each other.
®
Each Z-Wave
network has its own identifier (Home ID), which
®
enables multiple Z-Wave
networks in a single location to
operate completely independently and without interfering with
each other.
®
The main advantage of the Z-Wave
radio protocols over mesh
®
network competitors such as ZigBee
is the complete
®
interoperability between the various Z-Wave
devices from
different manufacturers. This interoperability is guaranteed by a
"Zertification" process which is performed by companies
